The Faculty of Engineering congratulates the inaugural group of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) graduates. Of the graduating students, around half are currently working in the industry and the other half has gone on to further study.

Victoria began teaching the four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree in 2007, building on the University's existing expertise from teaching the Bachelor of Information Technology and Bachelor of Science and Technology degrees.

The Engineering programme focuses on the digital technology that drives the modern world, from electronics to communications to software.

"The Bachelor of Engineering at Victoria has gone from strength to strength and last year received a very positive report from IPENZ (the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand), which provided provisional accreditation for the degree", says Professor John Hine.

The graduation of the 14 BE students was also celebrated by family, friends, University staff and supporters at a luncheon on the 17 May 2011. The event gave the graduates and staff the chance to catch up and reflect on the last 4 years.
