The normal full time load is 48 credit points per year and
apart from thesis subjects all subjects have a credit point
value of 6. The Bachelor of Engineering normally takes four
years to complete, with double specialisations and double
degrees normally taking five years to complete.
The formal contact hours, methods of teaching and learning
and forms of assessment vary from subject to subject. Explicit
details will be provided to students at the commencement of
each subject by the subject coordinator. Laboratory experience
and workshop training are an essential part of the degree.
Each course consists of a common core of fundamentals and
engineering practice subjects, with discipline specific examples
incorporated into some tutorials. The discipline specific
parts of each course consist of compulsory and elective subjects.
The Faculty encourages the development of engineering skills
and knowledge gained in the workplace through Professional
Options. Students who work in appropriate industries can enrol
in Professional Option subjects and count their industry skills
and knowledge toward their degree. Depending on the degree,
students will be able to take two or three 6 credit point
Professional Option subjects during their course.

Approval should be sought from the Director of Studies for each
discipline before enrolling in these subjects.
As a requirement for the award of the degree of the Bachelor

weeks approved professional experience in a relevant industry
during the course and submit a report to the satisfaction of
the Director of Studies. Subject ENGG454 outlines the requirements
for professional experience.
Honours are awarded at the end of the course on the basis of
overall performance throughout the course. All students must
take particular notice of the Course Rules regarding minimum
rate of progress.
The Engineering degrees have been fully recognised by The Institution
of Engineers, Australia. This recognition ensures that graduates
from these courses are admitted, on application, to the grade
of Graduate Membership of the Institution of Engineers, Australia.
