About this course
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Dalyell Scholars) provides access to a suite of enrichment opportunities and distinctive units of study that cultivate a sophisticated understanding of your chosen engineering stream.
Designed for students who demonstrate outstanding academic ability, it replaces the University of Sydney’s Advanced Engineering and offers greater opportunities to excel and new real-world challenges to conquer.
Exclusive to high achieving students (ATAR of 98+), the program is designed to equip you with those highly-valued skills by enriching your learning experience with leadership training, travel opportunities and mentoring from academics and experienced engineers.
Through these experiences you’ll develop professional skills such as communication, teamwork and project management, enhancing your employability prospects and embarking you on a promising career in engineering or computing.
As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.
Important information for students commencing in 2021
As part of our continual effort to improve our academic offering, we are making some exciting changes to the Bachelor of Engineering Honours.
What’s changing?
Taking effect Semester 1, 2021, students in the Bachelor Engineering Honours will undertake enhanced foundation studies in data and computation, and a sequence of real-world project units throughout their degree, which will enable them to apply technical knowledge in practice.
Why are we changing?
The future of work is increasingly dynamic and digital. These changes have been made in response to the rapid advancements in computational tools and the utilisation of rich data in engineering practice. They will ensure our students continue to graduate job-ready and at the forefront of engineering innovation.
What does this mean in practice?
Degree and stream names will remain unchanged, however, from 2021, specialisations will replace majors. We have created a number of new exciting specialisations to choose from. There is however, no change to the graduate outcomes or to the duration of the degree.
