Lowest selection rank
UTAS has not published a lowest selection rank for this course for recent intakes. That usually means too few ATAR-based offers were made to report one, or that selection also uses a portfolio, audition, interview or other criteria. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page.

Is this the right degree for you?
You probably thrive here if
- You have strong Year 12 maths and physics and enjoy problem solving
- You are interested in Tasmanian hydro, transmission and maritime industries
- You can manage labs, design studios and heavy weekly problem sets
- You enjoy team-based design work as much as individual technical study
- You want a clearly defined Engineers Australia accredited pathway
It is probably not for you if
- You dislike maths-heavy subjects and lab-based assessment
- You want a quick three-year degree
- You cannot commit to 12 weeks of industry placement
- You want to avoid CAD, simulation and engineering software
