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.
Engineering Scholars Program students have the option of undertaking
research projects with the various Faculty Research Units. Students should
discuss proposals with the Sub Dean before enrolling in the following
subjects:
| ENGG171 |
Scholars Research Project 1 |
| ENGG271 |
Scholars Research Project 2 |
| ENGG371 |
Scholars Research Project 3 |
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.
Professional Option Subjects include:
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 of Engineering,
students are required to obtain at least 12 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.
