Top of pagePurpose of the Program
Engineers in the 21st century must integrate social, environmental and economic demands with technical possibilities for each new challenge. Therefore, you must be an effective problem identifier, skilled in quantitative analysis, and effective decision maker who can maximise the benefits of each project while satisfying all stakeholders. You will work in teams and rely on communication processes to achieve your work. You will work in a rapidly changing world where learning is a key ingredient of your work. Globalisation is an important part of that world. An understanding of and appreciation for other cultures is an essential part of the social dimension of engineering. Most importantly, engineers have a responsibility to themselves to maintain their own quality of life through their career and their relationships within the profession and in the wide community.
The engineering component of the program enables you to:
- develop an understanding of Chemical Engineering principles and apply them to design sustainable processes and products for the benefit of society, environment, and businesses
- engage with the processes of innovation and global change and deal with new challenges
- develop sustaining values, including a commitment to your own learning
You will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 - Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 - Engineering Capstone Project Part B.
The learning environments in the program will focus on:
- knowledge: contemporary content, clear goals, deep learning focus
- global issues: adequate preparation, interactive engagement, adaptation to individual learning styles
- assessment: specific standards, range of assessments, progressive feedback
- community: application and transfer focused, cross-disciplinary, problem-solving, vocationally recognised, socially inclusive orientation, internationally relevant.
This program will actively explore and apply theory through problem-based and work-relevant activities which may include face-to-face, online, self-directed, collaborative and individual learning experience and is delivered on-campus.
The program has embedded opportunities for you to develop, practise and expand engineering and business knowledge and skills through practical and work-integrated learning. You will gain knowledge and skills in the core areas of chemical engineering, business & management, and the capability to apply these skills in multidisciplinary environments.
The Bachelor of Business (Management) provides you with critical and broad ranging studies to enable you to enter graduate positions in administration and management. The program provides you with opportunities to develop the required knowledge and outcomes to operate successfully in contemporary environments. You will be able to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the core areas of management in a diverse range of political, social, environmental and economic contexts.
This program will actively explore and apply management theory through problem-based and work-relevant activities which may include face-to-face, online, self-directed, collaborative and individual learning experience and is delivered on-campus.
The capstone experience course BUSM4546 Organisational Experience provides the culmination of the knowledge, skills and applied work practice experiences that prepare you to transit into the business world.
On successful completion of the program, you will be able to work within a wide range of organisations and industries in varied roles, and career entry positions, such as business administration, management consulting and strategy analysis. The program will provide you with a basis for further development of your knowledge and skills in management, and for further study in business and management.

Top of pageExternal accreditation and industry links
External Accreditation
The Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering)(Honours) /Bachelor of Business (Management) is fully accredited by Engineers Australia. Engineers Australia is the professional body responsible for the accreditation of higher education programs that prepare students to practise as professional engineers. Engineers Australia is a signatory to the Washington Accord. This means that the program is internationally recognised and graduates are able to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world. Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering)(Honours)/Bachelor of Business (Management) are eligible for graduate and/or professional membership of Engineers Australia.
The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is the global professional membership organisation for chemical, biochemical and process engineers and other professionals involved in the chemical, process and bioprocess industries. The Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering)(Honours) /Bachelor of Business (Management) is accredited to Bachelor Level by IChemE.
Industry Links
The School of Engineering and the School of Management have extensive links with industry through their Industry Advisory Committees, and through research projects and consulting services. Membership of these Committees includes practising engineers or senior executives from a number of major national companies, consultants and past graduates from the schools. Their involvement ensures that the program remains relevant to your needs as a graduate, and to the needs of employers, by providing feedback on the currency of the programs and the changing needs of industry. They also contribute significantly through input into the design of new programs.
Guest lecturers from industry join classes throughout the program. Research projects in the final year may be based on an industry project and design projects in the final year are based on industry input, thus providing opportunities for work integrated learning (WIL). You will visit industry sites throughout the program.
