Bachelor of Design / Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Conjoint - Engineering Part I

The University of Auckland

Both Design and Engineering are focused on finding the best solutions for current challenges and potential futures. In the BDes/BE(Hons) conjoint, you can bring the two disciplines together to better prepare yourself to respond to our changing world. Find your niche in one of ten specialisations within Engineering. Tackle real-world and imagined issues in Design, using digital, material and emerging technologies. The combination of these two fields gives you a solid foundation in appropriate technologies and sustainable solutions for future realities. Your Engineering specialisation, Design skills and personal interests can impact what you pursue. With technical skills, a creative problem-solving approach and strategic design methods, you’ll easily adapt to the technologically-driven nature of many industries. Many organisations are adding designers to the engineering teams and vice versa to ensure all projects are thoroughly tested, revised and correctly implemented, with full consideration of their socio-cultural impact.Conjoint programmes are most beneficial if you see how other degree components can be beneficial to your proposed career, or have skills in a variety of areas such as languages or commerce that you'd like to develop further. Most BE(Hons) conjoint programmes can be completed in five years. For students starting a conjoint with BE(Hons) in 2019, your programme will generally consist of 420 points’ worth of courses in Engineering, 255 points from other degree courses, and 15 points from approved General Education courses. Exceptions include conjoints with the BAdvSci(Hons), LLB and LLB(Hons).
