Engineering within Bachelor of Science
The Bachelor of Science integrates investigation and discovery with scientific, systems and technical knowledge. We teach you to apply quantitative reasoning to your investigations to help you develop a deep and far-reaching understanding of the natural and constructed world.
Engineering majors in this course: Bioengineering Systems, Chemical
Systems, Civil Systems, Computer Science, Electrical Systems, Geomatics, Mechanical Systems, Software Systems
- If you are interested in majoring in Engineering, you will enrol in Engineering Systems Design 1 & 2, while complementing this with relevant science and maths subjects.
- If you are interested in majoring in Informatics or Computer Science you will enrol in Informatics 1 & 2 and relevant science and breadth subjects.
