Monash is No. 1 in Australia for Engineering – Start your journey today, with UCL

Engineering – The Ultimate Field for Challenge and Creativity: The “next scientific revolution” the world is slated to experience, offers an optimistic future where change is principally driven by developments in technology. It is assumed that the future will follow a predictable path where technologies that are on the horizon today are developed to a state where they can be used in commercial applications and their role is optimized to the benefit of society. As such, engineers will play a key role in exploiting new sciences to develop technologies that benefit humankind and overcome challenges in areas such as climate change, natural-resource depletion, food shortages and energy.

The future scope of engineering sectors to work in: Widely considered as one of the most lucrative and in demand career choices, with multiple engineering disciplines and job types, the top five in-demand engineering jobs of the future include Software engineering, Aerospace engineering, Civil engineering, Environmental Engineering and Biomedical Engineering .

The smart choice for an engineering future: Monash University, ranked as a top 100 university in the world, and slated as the best university in Australia for Engineering and Technology, as per the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (2015/16), with its strong reputation for its Engineering degrees, industrial work placements, renowned quality of teaching and strength in engineering research, offers the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), made available through Universal College Lanka (UCL), their exclusive partner in Sri Lanka.

Moulding future leaders: Backed by a renowned lecturer panel, UCL Lecturers are either PhD or MSc/ MBA qualified – and have either studied or taught at reputed US, UK or Australian Universities. Lecturers are hired after a rigorous interview process, and officially confirmed by Monash, and hence, UCL is confident that the students will receive the best support and guidance. Its Lecture panel consists of 10 full-time Lecturers, and a pool of reputed visiting Lecturers.

Covering key subject areas such as Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Environmental, Electrical and Computer Systems, Materials, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Mining and Software Engineering, the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) incorporates classroom and laboratory instruction, integrative design experiences and applied research projects. Theoretical technical knowledge is enhanced by practical experience that imparts an understanding of methods and techniques used in real-world situations.

Through a challenging curriculum, students acquire a strong foundation in Science and Technology and develop valuable interpersonal and teamwork skills. All programmes provide a strong background in math, basic sciences, engineering science, design and complementary studies.

The 1st year of the programme develops student’s foundational skills for Engineering in various branches of Engineering.

In the 2nd year they will develop an in-depth understanding of the knowledge, techniques, tools and resources appropriate for their branch of engineering, as well as skills and knowledge of the application of Engineering methods required to conduct, design and manage Engineering projects.

Providing students with a broad knowledge of all fields of Engineering, as well as specialized training in a student’s discipline of choice, this degree will ultimately help students gain the knowledge to better innovate, build, and commercialize new ideas, in turn empowering young Engineers to design innovative solutions to meet society’s biggest challenges.

Teaching methodologies that train you to stay one step ahead: UCL offers a flipped-classroom method of learning techniques with student care being a priority which gives them a blend of practical, hands-on training and theoretical learning.

UCL is also facilitated with modern Chemistry, Physics and Engineering design labs which house the practical component of the Diploma and Foundation Level courses. The aim of the practical course is to ensure that students are able to perform a chemical investiga- tion accurately, safely and efficiently.

Limited class sizes with a maximum of 25 students each, allows the Lecturers to give individual attention to specific learning needs. Different types of assessments such as group activities, class tests, practical assignments and oral presentations are used to evaluate student performance. Students can expect to receive feedback that helps them to understand why they attained the grade awarded.
