Bachelor of Engineering + Bachelor of Mathematics
The University of Wollongong offers two different Engineering-Mathematics degrees, each with a number of different specializations available. They are:
• Bachelor of Engineering (Civil, Environmental, Materials, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Mining)/Bachelor of Mathematics
• Bachelor of Engineering (Computer, Electrical, Telecommunications, Internet)/ Bachelor of Mathematics
Both of these degrees are accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Australia, and both involve a period of 12 weeks approved professional experience during the course.

The skills encouraged in this degree are: good verbal and written communication; the ability to analyse problems leading to the formulation and evaluation of possible solutions; synthesis of engineering solutions; the ability to function effectively in a team environment; and comprehension of management mechanisms and how to function within them.
The first two years of the degree are identical, no matter which specialization is chosen, and contain an introduction to all basic areas in the electrical/internet/telecommunications field, and also basic mathematical and physical sciences. The engineering design and management strand is also begun in these years and flows into the third year, when students also work on group design projects.
In 4th year, students do a thesis, which gives them the opportunity to work on a project in a field in which they have an interest.
The Mathematics degree is flexibly structured to allow students to specialize in areas of interest, while giving a good grounding in the essentials of mathematics and statistics. Students are assigned a personal academic mentor, who helps plan an individual program of study based on the student's interests, and gives other academic advice.
Analytical thinking and logic are two of the most important skills acquired through the study of maths, which can then be applied to any real-life situation. The degree also encourages the development of computing, analysis and mathematical modeling skills and problem-solving.
