Overview

Bachelor of Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) Honours

This course at ECU provides the foundations for a professional engineering career in the oil and gas industry, both in Australia and internationally. 

As well as providing core mechanical and chemical engineering skills, the course provides specialist knowledge in drilling, reservoir and petroleum production engineering.

The program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem solving, team work and project development. 

In the final two years of study, a range of more specialist petroleum engineering topics are covered to prepare students to enter their chosen profession with relevant knowledge and skills.

The first year of this course includes a set of eight units that are common across all engineering honours courses. 

Work Experience requirement

Students are required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks of practical work experience in an engineering industry environment. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period.
