Auckland Engineering
Engineering at Auckland University
The Faculty of Engineering is committed to creating an environment where people thrive and contribute to improving the quality of life in national and global communities, as well as enhancing the wealth creation of the nation, through excellence in teaching, research and service.
Departments
Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering
Chemical and materials engineering is a fascinating discipline involved in building and sustaining the world around us as well as designing new materials for the future. If you are interested in converting raw materials into useful products or are fascinated by altering the chemical or physical state of a substance to create a better material - then our department may be the right place for you to further your study.
We provide a unique and stimulating learning and research environment, exposing students to a wide diversity of viewpoints and hands-on teaching/learning styles. Our goal is to prepare and train you with the skills needed to be leaders of the future to solve real-world, multidisciplinary problems.
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Civil and environmental engineers make modern life possible. They work on planning, design, construction and maintenance of projects such as skyscrapers, motorways, bridges, tunnels and dams.
Expanding populations and growing economies fuel the demand for major construction and design projects and the civil and environmental engineering job market will yield opportunities both nationally and internationally.
A bachelors degree in civil and environmental engineering from The University of Auckland will help prepare you for a future career in an engineering discipline that is expanding and changing in response to the world in which we live.
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is committed to research and dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, innovation and knowledge. We are proud to offer strong research and industry links to support this.
Department of Engineering Science
Engineering science is the discipline underpinning all modern engineering practice. The key feature of engineering science is the use of advanced mathematics and technology to solve real world engineering, business and industrial problems. The Department of Engineering Science offers two degree specialisations - one in Biomedical Engineering, and one in Engineering Science.
Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering provides a proven and practical engineering degree programme with majors in Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics. Our design and project intensive curriculum will provide you with the expertise to solve real-life and complex engineering problems and prepare you for the challenges of designing and manufacturing advanced products and services for the 21st century.
Bioengineering Institute
The Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) is a cross-faculty research centre. Our research deals with the application of mathematical and engineering sciences to biology and human physiology. We aim to improve understanding of physiological processes and the diagnosis and treatment of injury or disease.
Institute of Earth Science and Engineering
The IESE of the University of Auckland, New Zealand is a research and development organisation which specialises in geothermal exploration, mircoseismic monitoring, borehole instrumentation and geothermal short course training. We are also a recognised leader in research on volcanic and seismic geo-hazards and the environment. We apply our expertise to commercial research projects and consulting for geothermal energy development.
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree is a four-year programme leading to registration as a Professional Engineer. It consists of 480 points, usually spread across four years (120 points per year).
Part I (first year)
Part I (common year) is your first year of study. During Part I you will be exposed to each of the nine different engineering specialisations and study a broad base of engineering and professional fundamentals. At the end of Part I you will select your specialisation.
Parts II, III and IV
Parts II, III and IV are customised over the following three years according to your area of specialisation. They include:
- core and engineering elective courses
- building your communication skills and technical knowledge
- being creative and managing projects
- developing your ability to problem solve
- gaining practical experience through working in industry.
Specialisations
Each specialisation has a maximum number of places, with selection based on your Part I academic record. All specialisations are accredited by the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand – a signatory to the Washington Accord - making the degree an internationally recognised qualification in many overseas countries. The nine specialisations to choose from are:
- Biomedical
- Chemical and Materials
- Civil (including Environmental)
- Computer Systems
- Electrical and Electronic
- Engineering Science
- Mechanical (including Wood and Woodfibre composites)
- Mechatronics
- Software.
Awarding the BE (Hons) degree
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) [BE (Hons)] degree is awarded to those students who achieve a sufficiently high grade point average (GPA) in Parts II, III and IV. Students who successfully complete the programme and do not achieve a sufficiently high GPA will be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree.
