Inspiring engineering
Flinders University is taking a fresh approach to the engineering courses it is planning to offer from 2009 onwards.
Building on our strong tradition of teaching and research in engineering, the planned courses are designed to meet current and future industry employment needs.
Our nationally recognised industry placement program provides students with 20 weeks of structured industrial work experience with one of 100 local, national and international organisations - often leading to an ongoing employment with that company.
Areas of study
Flinders engineering focuses on electronics-based high-technology including:
|
| Biomedical engineering Biomedical engineering involves using electronics and computer systems to improve health care and health services to extend and enhance the quality of human life. |
|
| Civil engineering Civil engineering is the planning, designing, construction, and maintenance of structures such as bridges, roads, dams, and other built environment. |
|
| Computer systems engineering Computer systems engineers build the computers required to meet the future needs of a world in which technology is constantly changing. |
|
| Electronics engineering Electronics is an enabling technology embedded in products ranging from consumer goods to the sophisticated instrumentation used in electronic circuits, electronic devices, telecommunications and computer systems. |
| Mechanical engineering Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design and construction and operation of machinery. |
|
| Robotics engineering Robotics is the science and technology of the design, development and application of intelligent robots in fields as diverse as manufacturing, mining and medicine. |
|
| Software engineering Software engineering is a dynamic emerging engineering discipline that is concerned with all aspects of software use, from design and development to maintenance and management. |
Bachelor of Engineering Science...a pathway to a Bachelor of Engineering award
This new course (3 years full time or equivalent part-time) equips graduates with the knowledge to becoming engineering technologists.
It focuses on fundamental engineering principles and skills including physics, earth sciences, mechanics, materials, electronics, computer systems and robotics but also with elements of software and biomedical engineering.
With no formal prerequisites, students performing well in this award are able to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering awards.
There is a pathway for students who have completed 2 years of the biomedical engineering award and wish to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering Science.
