A BE(Hons)LLB conjoint allows you to complete a BE(Hons) and an LLB in less time, and with fewer points, than it would take to complete the two degrees separately. This degree equips you with the specialist knowledge to solve problems and critically engage with policies in our increasingly complex and technical environments. The study of both Law and Engineering requires distinct capabilities in order to meet the high demands of their professions – theoretical knowledge, analytical and research abilities, social appreciation, public responsibility, and communication skills. These are qualities essential for solving complex problems; and they’re applicable to broader areas such as management, intellectual property and more. The BE(Hons)LLB complements technical acumen with critical research skills. This blend equips graduates to take on roles that are emerging in many technologically-driven sectors. You may opt to augment your Law degree by pursuing the Professional Legal Studies course that allows you to practice as a barrister or solicitor. All our Engineering specialisations are accredited by Engineering New Zealand, and so the BE(Hons) is a recognised qualification in many countries.<br><br>A Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering introduces you to the field’s fundamentals: engineering sciences, design teaching and aspects of professional engineering. We also feature a strong emphasis on design and project work, so you can apply your theoretical knowledge to developing new products within team environments. Core topics include: Dynamics and control: from precision positioning of surgical robots to moving autonomous vehicles, this field involves the use of mathematics to model, analyse, predict, control and optimise the behavior of dynamic systems. This is crucial to the next generation of faster, quieter and safer technology. Engineering design: addressing real-world problems with modern tools and knowledge, for example, applying computer-aided design and finite element analysis to open-ended projects. Manufacturing systems: applied science, technology, systems thinking and supply chain excellence blend together to address questions around product innovation, 3D printing, robotics, systems design, smart factories, and the industrial internet.
