What is a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at MQ Uni?
A Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Macquarie Uni为您提供进入工程世界所需的知识和实践技能！It’s a very hands-on degree with project-based learning which means you’ll have您将在其中设计和构建各种东西的课程。
你有the choice of five different majors depending where your interests lie.还有机会通过不同的工程协会和俱乐部在教室外参与其中！
可以将此度与另一个程度一起研究吗？
This degree comes with Honours attached! There is theoption to do a double degree if you have multiple interests or simply want to take your degree to the next level.你可以combine a Bachelor of Engineering with any of the following:
-
- Law:6。5年
- 商业：5.5年
- Environment:5.5年
- Science:5 years
- 艺术：5 years
- Information and Technology:5 years
职业道路
Lucky for you,工程学学位为许多不同的职业机会打开了。Of course, it really depends on your specialisation and what you’re most interested in but these are just some of the many jobs you could end up working as:
-
- 土木工程师
- Mechanical engineer
- Aerospace engineer
- Mechatronic engineer
- Automation engineer
- Software engineer
- 电气工程师
- 环境工程师

…and the list continues! This is just the tip of the iceberg!
度结构
了解课程的结构可能会有些困惑，因此我们会引导您了解它的外观：
Core Zone
- Capstone unit(10 credit points): Completed in your fourth and final year.
- Essential units（60个学分）：无论您的专业化如何，每个工程专业的学生都必须完成这些。
- 专业单位(210 credit points): Where you choose from civil, mechanical, mechatronics, software or electrical and electronic engineering.
Flexible Zone (40 credit points)
你可以choose subjects from any undergraduate degree that you meet the requirements for. So, it’s completely up to you!
基本单位
这些本质上是你的core units — andevery Engineering student has to complete all 7 of them!当然，您有Introduction to Engineering这为您提供了对工程原理的深刻了解，并帮助您发展实践技能。
这subjectEngineering Project Practiceinvolves project-based learning so it’s very hands-on! You’ll work with your classmates to design and find a solution for a real-world engineering problem.
在主题中Industry Experience，是时候练习您学到的东西了！你必须在合作伙伴组织中完成至少420个小时的行业工作经验。
现在，这是一个相当大的主题，因为您还必须complete assessment tasks along the way!在主题的结尾，您必须在6-10页的报告中交出反思您的经验以及您学到的知识。
专业
这基本上是您的专业 - 因此，选择您最感兴趣的东西！您可以专门研究五个不同的领域：
What’s a Civil and Environmental Engineering Specialisation like?
它涉及建筑环境的设计和管理！It’s all about functionality and making the world that we live in a better place.
一个Introduction to Civil Engineeringis just what it sounds like!Water and wastewater engineeringis all aboutclean drinking water and the processes to remove contaminants from drinking water and wastewater.In this subject, you’ll work as part of a team to design solutions for water and wastewater treatment facilities.
Soil mechanicsintroduces students to geology so they’ll learn all aboutrocks and minerals, soil mechanics, water flow, geohazards and how this can impact construction projects.
Check out the rest of the subjectshere呢
什么是电气和电子工程专业？
好问题！思考energy systems, circuits, power generators, communication networks, devices like mobile phonesand so on! In this specialisation, there’s a lot of physics and maths involved.
所以你有微积分和线性代数IandII，，，，工程物理学andEngineering Mathematics呢信号和系统是信号处理和分析的介绍。Control Systemsis a project-based learning subject where students are put into teams and have to design control systems!
看看其他主题here呢
Capstone Project
您将完成这in your final year! Basically, it’s a big project where you get to将您在整个学位上学到的所有内容付诸实践。
你会的work with a team throughout the semester to come up with a solution for a real-world problem它必须解决可持续发展目标！因此，这意味着您将从头到尾都关注一个项目 - 令人兴奋的东西！
How to Get into a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at MQ Uni
你会的need at least anATAR of 80保证进入MQ Uni的工程学士学位。
途径程序
Don’t stress if you didn’t get the required ATAR for a Bachelor of Engineering because Macquarie Uni offers you another way to get there!
It’s called the下一步路径呢你必须成功完成四个单元（第1会中的2个单元和2个单位中的2个单元）and then you can start studying that degree you desire.
If you happen to do really well and get a high WAM (Weighted Average Mark), then you might be able to start your dream degree earlier which means you would only complete 2 units (instead of 4).
Assumed Knowledge
你会expected to have achieved at least a Band 4 in Mathematics Advanced.如果没有，您可以在UNI上进行桥接/入门主题（但这可能意味着您需要更长的时间才能完成学位）。
To make your life easier, it’srecommended that you complete Extension 1 or 2 Mathematics, Physics and Software Design and Development.
Scholarships
有三项特定奖学金relating to Engineering at Macquarie Uni! To apply for any of them, you need to have收到90多个ATAR。
有the Faculty of Science and Engineering Women in Engineering Scholarship, Faculty of Science and Engineering Women in Information and Technologies Scholarship and the Faculty of Science and Engineering Dean’s Merit Scholarship.
Check这out for more scholarships you could be eligible for!
What’s the Teaching Format?
Macquarie的工程学士学位是taught through lectures, tutorials and pracs。Lucky for you, Macquarie’s academic calendar consists ofsemesters(sigh of relief).
Class Structure
Lectures
Lectures can be between 1-2 hours depending and you can期望有大约60人in the lecture theatre — depending on the subject, this can vary.
在讲座中，you’ll learn all the content so get ready to write some notes!Some of the lecturers try and engage with the students to make the learning more interactive. Luckily, the录制讲座，以便您始终可以重新审视它们，或者如果由于某种原因没有进行演讲，则可以在自己的时间内观看。
教程
这tutorials are the same length as the lectures, between 1-2 hours. They are a lot smaller in size compared to the lectures so there is usuallyaround 15 to 20 in a class.
In the tutorial, you’ll修改讲座内容，通过不同的活动进行工作，有时您必须完成测验。有a lot of room for discussion and time for you to ask the tutor any questions you may have.
Pracs
Pracs can last anywhere up three hours and there’susually 15 to 20 people in them.
现在，PRAC可以根据该主题而有所不同 - 例如，在物理学上，您通常每周有一个PRAC，最多可以持续三个小时。这意味着you do a different kind of experiment each week and work through a set of questions.
If you’re studying Electronic Engineering,you might be tasked with designing a circuit, seeing how it works and then writing a report up.
您在课堂上花了多少时间？
如果您在MQ Uni学习工程学士学位，则每学期将获得四个科目。你可以expect to have around 12-15 contact hours a week!
重要的是要记住您还必须在自己的时间内做很多工作：exam prep, revising content, assignments and so on.
评估是什么样的？
有a bit of a mix! So, you’ll have a fair few整个学期的测验这些可以总计约50％。
对于更实用的课程，有时您有a big project that you work on for the whole semester and then have to present the designs。例如，整个班级必须构建和设计一个机器人（多么酷！）。
还有学期考试结束，论文和报告！Once again, it really depends on the subject and whether it’s more theoretical or practical.
您完善和学习的技能
毫无疑问，您会完善您的problem solving skills!你必须think creatively to find solutions for real-world problems and also come up with designs for different projects.
你会的learnhow to work coherently in a team!在整个学期中所有学生都必须共同努力的PRAC课程中，您很快就会学习如何最好地与人互动和管理。
Of course, you’llfurther develop your communication skills with essay/report writingand having to give presentations. As the degree is quite full-on, you’ll learn how to管理您的时间，并在Uni之外的生活中平衡这一点。
教师和文化是什么样的？
学院
这Engineering students at MQ Uni are友好的一堆，毫无疑问，您会结交一些好朋友。Those prac classes where all the students work together on one big project, you really get to know the other students and it’s a lot of fun!
这tutors are also really helpful and are happy to answer any questions你可能有！
Culture
您绝对需要检查Macquarie Uni工程协会which offers a range of social and academic events. There’s琐事之夜，行业网络晚会和科学/工程球- 仅举几个！
你可以also join theMacquarie University Robotics Cluband work with other students to design and build robots! There’s even an汽车社会如果你喜欢任何机械,这可能definitely be for you. They’ve actually just finished their first project which was to build a go-kart which will actually race in the NSW karting championship.
这Engine Roomis another great opportunity to get involved and develop your engineering skills. It’s actually麦格理工业园的工程教师与行业合作伙伴之间的合作which means students can get real-world experience.
If you’re a fierce female Engineer, you have to joinWomen in Engineering您将被其他授权女性所包围的地方，这些女性对此充满热情和平等！
