Students from North-West Tasmania have a new starting point to a career in engineering, with the introduction of the University of Tasmania’s Bachelor of General Studies – Engineering Pathway.

Launched last night at an engineering industry dinner, the course will be offered at UTAS’s Cradle Coast Campus in Burnie from first semester 2014.

The new pathway degree provides a supported introduction to university-level study in engineering and is designed for students who wish to progress towards a Bachelor of Engineering at UTAS in either the Australian Maritime College or the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology. It can be completed in one year (full-time) or three years (part-time).

UTAS Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Janelle Allison said the new engineering pathway course at Cradle Coast Campus would support the career aspirations of local people and the development of employees to fulfill the future needs of regional industry.

“The new course provides an opportunity for people to work towards their goal of a career in engineering, ensuring their first steps are taken in an environment that will pave the way to a successful university experience,” Prof Allison explained.
