During the first year of study students can choose to commence in their chosen specialisation or undertake the flexible first year. The flexible first year allows students to keep their options open as to which specialisation they chose to pursue in second year. In addition to completion of BE(Hons) core courses, students undertaking the flexible first year program will complete:

  • 2 to 6 units from BE(Hons) First Year Engineering Foundation Courses – comprising
  1. ENGG1300
  2. ENGG1500
  3. ENGG1700; and
  • 0 to 4 units from BE(Hons) First Year Engineering Electives Courses; and
  • 0 to 4 units from Preparatory Science and Mathematics Courses or General Electives


Note: Choosing fewer than 6 units from BE(Hons) First Year Engineering Foundation Courses may either limit specialisation choices in year 2 or increase the duration of study.

 

Students will be required to choose their program specialisation by the commencement of second year. First Year Foundation Courses and First Year Engineering Electives can contribute to your chosen specialisation as either a compulsory courses or as electives.

Additional Rules

1.Hurdle requirements

This program requires students to complete the following hurdle requirements:

  • Professional practice

A student must—

  1. complete 450 hours of professional practice approved by the executive dean, and
  2. satisfactorily complete assessment pertaining to that professional practice, as determined by the executive dean.

 2.Recognition of prior learning

This program is subject to the following credit limits in conjunction with PPL 3.50.03 Credit for Previous Studies and Recognised Prior Learning:

  • The maximum credit that the associate dean (academic) may grant to a student for other study is 40 units.
  • Students must complete a minimum of 2 years of study, in an Engineers Australia accredited degree program, at an Australian University.

3.Class of honours

Specific requirements apply to the awarding of honours in this program.

The class of honours is calculated on the basis of the weighted cumulative grade point average.

weighted cumulative grade point average means the average grade over all attempts at contributing courses where each course grade is weighted by the unit value of the course and the course level.

contributing courses means all courses undertaken at the university which count towards the BE(Hons) or which would have counted if passed but excludes courses where the student was awarded a final grade of ‘P’;

course grade means the final grade for that course if that grade is numeric, or, it means ‘2’ if the final grade is ‘N’ or otherwise it means ‘0’;

course level means —

the fifth character of the course code where that character is 1,2,3, or 4,or

4 when the fifth character of the course code is a 5 or 6, or

5 when the fifth character of the course code is a 7 or higher

Refer to PPL 3.50.12 Bachelor Honours Degrees for more information.

 4.Exit awards

  • Award of the Bachelor of Applied Technology

A student who withdraws from the program after completing 48 units may be awarded the Bachelor of Applied Technology with an undeclared major, subject to the student-

  1. gaining credit for at least 42 units from the BE(Hons) course lists, including 8 units for core courses, and
  2. gaining credit for at least 8 units of courses at level 3 or higher and no more than 24 units of courses at level 1.
