Overview
This course is a technology degree which allows students to develop broad based engineering skills similar in nature to the Bachelor of Engineering Science (C10066) degree but without full engineering technologist status.
The course provides students with the skills required at an engineering technologist level – and hence the ability to work with professional engineers – without developing full professional engineering competencies.
It is intended for students who require a broad overview of STEM knowledge via the "Flexible Engineering" or "Engineering and Technology Studies" majors; and to specialise in a field of technology, for example, students with prior vocational qualifications may choose the Advanced Manufacturing major to learn the latest industry 4.0 manufacturing technologies, without meeting the requirement for Engineering Australia professional accreditation.
Career options
Career options include para-professional positions in engineering teams across the full spectrum of engineering activities. Specific career options depend on the major chosen.
Innovation and Transdisciplinary program
Transdisciplinarity and Innovation at UTSAll UTS students have the opportunity to develop distinctive capabilities around transdisciplinary thinking and innovation through the TD School. Transdisciplinary education at UTS brings together great minds from different disciplines to explore ideas that improve the way we live and work in the world. These offerings are unique to UTS and directly translate to many existing and emerging roles and careers.
Diploma in InnovationThe Diploma in Innovation (C20060) teaches innovation, supports personal transformation and provides the hard skills needed to support the inventors and inventions of the future. Students come out of the Diploma in Innovation, with the hard skills to create and support sectoral and societal transformation. Graduates are able to fluently integrate ideas, across professional disciplines and are inventors of the future.
All UTS undergraduate students (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation) can apply for the Diploma in Innovation upon admission in their chosen undergraduate degree. It is a complete degree program that runs in parallel to any undergraduate degree. The course is offered on a three-year, part-time basis, with subjects running in 3-week long intensive blocks in July, December and February sessions. More information including a link to apply is available at https://dipinn.uts.edu.au.
Transdisciplinary electives programTransdisciplinary electives broaden students' horizons and supercharge their problem-solving skills, helping them to learn outside, beyond and across their degrees. Students enrolled in an undergraduate course that includes electives can choose to take a transdisciplinary subject (with the exception of students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation). More information about the TD Electives program is available here.

For course specific information see the Faculty of Engineering & Information Technology Inherent (Essential) Requirements Statement.
Assumed knowledge
HSC Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard. English Advanced is recommended.
Recognition of prior learning
Students who have completed equivalent subjects at a recognised tertiary education institution may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL) if the subjects completed are deemed by the Faculty to be equivalent to subjects in the course. Established agreements for RPL with external tertiary institutions are outlined in the Recognition of prior learning tool.
To be considered for recognition of prior learning, subjects must normally have been completed no more than ten years prior to the commencement of this course. Limits apply to the number of credit points of RPL that can be granted.
Course duration and attendance
This course is offered on a three-year, full-time or six-year, part-time basis.
Course structure
Students are required to complete 144 credit points, comprising:
- Core program: 36 credit points
- Major: 84 credit points, and
- Eectives: 24 credit points
Students admitted to Advanced Manufacturing major must select the choiceblock Core subjects (Advanced Manufacturing). Students in the Flexible Engineering major and Engineering and Technology Studies major must select the choiceblock Core subjects.
The major is selected at the time of admission; however, it is possible to apply to change major at a later stage. Students admitted to the advanced manufacturing major should decide by the end of the first year of full-time study whether to transfer to another major or continue with the advanced manufacturing program.
