Course overview
Study Deakin’s future-focused Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and develop technical capability, practical experience and professional confidence to conceptualise, design, build and test innovative engineering solutions to complex real-world problems. You will graduate well prepared for professional engineering practice, ready to enter the workforce in civil, electrical and renewable energy, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering.
Designed for problem solvers who want to make a positive impact, Deakin’s engineering degree combines strong scientific foundations with practical, project-based approaches to learning. From your first year, you will work on collaborative engineering challenges that develop your design thinking, teamwork and problem-solving skills while connecting engineering knowledge to industry and society. You will complete 60 days of professional practice in an engineering workplace and build valuable industry connections.
** You may opt to do 30 days of placement plus Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if you have prior or current work experience as an engineer equipping you with the skills and confidence to begin your engineering career.
Indicative student workload
You can expect to participate in a range of teaching activities each week. This could include lectures, seminars, practicals, and online interaction. You can refer to the individual unit details in the course structure for more information. You will also need to study and complete assessment tasks in your own time.
Professional recognition
Deakin offers its undergraduate engineering courses across three locations: Waurn Ponds (Geelong), Online, and our newest campus at Burwood (Melbourne).
Currently, all undergraduate engineering courses at Waurn Ponds and in Online mode are accredited. The Burwood offering the undergraduate courses are not yet accredited by Engineers Australia. Each course (and engineering major offered within) is accredited separately by Engineers Australia for each campus. Full accreditation can only be granted when the first cohort of students complete the course at Burwood, which is a standard Engineers Australia’s accreditation process.
Deakin School of Engineering is working towards an accreditation review for the Burwood offering in September 2026. We are seeking accreditation to be granted and applied to all students who commenced their course at Burwood from the start of 2024. This means, once accreditation is granted by Engineers Australia for the Burwood offering, it will be retrospectively applied to all Burwood students who graduate with a Deakin undergraduate engineering degree.
It’s important to note that the Burwood course is identical to the accredited program at Waurn Ponds and Online. Students at Burwood receive the same curriculum, learning outcomes, and academic standards, and the same high quality learning experience at Burwood. We believe there is no risk to Burwood Campus engineering program offering being awarded full accreditation once the first cohort of Burwood Campus students have graduated.
Career opportunities
We’ll prepare you to be a well-rounded engineer, ready to practise in Australia or abroad. Deakin graduates are required more than ever with the demand for engineers expected to grow by around 20 per cent over the next decade.* Environmental engineers and renewable energy engineers are also among the 15 fastest-growing jobs worldwide,^ offering exciting opportunities to make a global impact. Depending on which field of engineering you choose during your degree, you could work in government, the private sector, consulting, or even education and research.

Participation requirements
In order to satisfy course accreditation requirements, as specified and administered by Engineers Australia, all online enrolled students, or students enrolled online in specified units, are required to participate in campus-based learning activities at our Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus during intensive week each trimester. This ensures that graduates possess and have demonstrated the minimum necessary knowledge and skill base, engineering application abilities, and professional skills, values and attitudes at successful completion of the course to be sufficiently prepared to enter professional engineering practice.
Attendance and participation in learning activities during intensive week is linked to assessment requirements within the Engineering programs, and failure to attend may result in students not meeting the hurdle requirement of the respective assessment. This may result in a fail grade being awarded for the respective affected unit(s) for that particular trimester.
International students: Please note that due to Australian Government regulations, student visas to enter Australia cannot be issued to students who enrol in Deakin online. To participate in the mandatory campus based scheduled sessions during the trimester intensive week, it is suggested that you apply for a tourist visa to enter Australia. Please be advised that Deakin University cannot guarantee that you will be granted a tourist visa by the Australian Government.
International students studying online may not be granted a visitor visa to complete mandatory components of the course at a campus.
Placement can occur at any time, including during standard holiday breaks. Learn about key dates at Deakin.
Elective units may be selected that include compulsory placements, work-based training, community-based learning or collaborative research training arrangements.
Reasonable adjustments to participation and other course requirements will be made for students with a disability. More information available at Disability support services.
Mandatory student checks
Any unit which contains work integrated learning, a community placement or interaction with the community may require a police check, Working with Children Check or other check.
Articulation and credit transfer
Flexible entry into the course allows students to upgrade their qualifications and to obtain credit for previous studies/experience. Applicants with appropriate TAFE qualifications or other approved post-secondary studies may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Credit may be considered for skills obtained in the workforce or by informal means.
Equipment requirements
Students must have access to a suitable computer and a network connection. The learning experiences and assessment activities within this course may also require that students have access to a range of software. Access to high-cost specialist equipment is provided but students may be required to purchase minor equipment for particular unit(s) as detailed in unit site.
