Course Description
Curtin has a common first year for all its engineering students which builds their range of basic science skills and knowledge,
with particular emphasis on physics, chemistry and mathematics. Students then undertake a year of study in common with those in Electrical and Electronic and Communication Engineering. They have the flexibility to change between these courses until the beginning
of third year. The course requires four years of full-time study. Before graduating, students are required to obtain 12 weeks engineering
work experience and a senior first aid certificate. Honours are awarded to graduates based upon their performance during the four years
