Bachelor of Commerce
Course requirements
To qualify for award of the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunications
Engineering) and Bachelor of Commerce a candidate must complete satisfactorily
and independently each of (a) and (b) as follows:
(a) all subjects prescribed for the Bachelor of Engineering
(Telecommunications Engineering), (except ECTE150 Engineering Design
and Management 1, ECTE250 Engineering Design and Management 2 and one
Telecommunications Option and replacing one Telecommunications Option
with an Informatics Option) and having a value of 174credit points; and
(b) the requirements for the Bachelor of Commerce.
To qualify for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Commerce
only, a candidate must satisfy
requirements stipulated in Course rule 106.
Notes:
- Normally a double degree program require students to complete 264
credit points, in some cases, however, depending upon the program
of study chosen this number may be exceeded.
- Some Commerce Specialisations will be more than 90 credit points.
- To assist students to complete their program, some Commerce subjects
are available in Summer Session. Students should consult the Calendar
for details.
Recommended Full-Time Program
The School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering,
in conjunction with the Faculty of Commerce, offers a double degree course
leading to the Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunications Engineering)-Bachelor
of Commerce. The program, which may be completed in five years of full-time
study, offers the opportunity for students to include additional commerce
subjects with their studies in computer engineering. It is likely to be
of particular interest to those students who wish to undertake a career
in management. The BE degree with Honours is awarded for meritorious performance
over the course and particularly in the final year thesis subject. The
classes of honours awarded are defined in the Course Rules.
With the approval of the Head of the School of Electrical, Computer and
Telecommunications Engineering and the Sub-Dean of the Faculty of Commerce,
students who have completed the recommended first year program of the
Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering
or Telecommunications Engineering) course and who have gained a weighted
average mark of 67.5% or better may transfer to the BE (TeleEng),BCom.
It is a requirement of the BE (TeleEng),BCom that all students enrolled
maintain this level of achievement throughout the course or they will
be transferred to the BE (Telecommunications Engineering) Course.
All BE,BCom students must sit for and perform satisfactorily in an English
Literacy Test organised by the School in association with the Student
Learning Development Centre. The test will be held during the first session
of a student's enrolment at the University. It is a requirement of the
BE degree that the student perform satisfactorily in at least one such
test prior to enrolment in ECTE457 Thesis. Students who are deemed to
require tuition in literacy in order to complete this requirement will
be advised accordingly and will be required to repeat the literacy test
the following year. Enrolment in and attendance at literacy courses will
be the individual responsibility of the students concerned.
As indicated in the individual subject pre-requisites, students are required
to complete satisfactorily the recommended first year before beginning
the recommended third year and to complete satisfactorily the recommended
second year before beginning the recommended fifth year. With the approval
of the Head of the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications
Engineering, these requirements may be waived.
