Bachelor of Engineering
The School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering
offers a course leading to a Bachelor of Engineering in each of
the following major study areas:
The degree may be completed in a minimum of four years of full-time
study, however, subjects are scheduled so that it may also be undertaken
on a part-time basis, in which case the duration will depend upon
the particular circumstances of the student. Progression is by subject
but the various subject pre- and co-requisites must be satisfied.
There is a recommended program for a full-time four year minimum
course and a preferred part-time program for students in approved,
full-time professional employment. For holders of TAFE Certificates
and Associate Diplomas, programs will be determined on an individual
basis but exemptions of up to 48 credit points may apply.
For the recommended full-time program, students are required to
complete satisfactorily the first year before beginning the third
year and to complete satisfactorily the second year before beginning
the fourth year. With the approval of the Head of School, these
requirements may be waived.
For the recommended part-time program, students are required to
complete satisfactorily the first two stages before beginning the
fourth stage and to complete satisfactorily the third stage before
beginning the sixth stage. With the approval of the Head of School,
these requirements may be waived.
All BE 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 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.
Professional Experience
Full-time BE students must accumulate at least 12 weeks of approved
professional experience, documented in the form of employment reports
and preferably in the period between third and fourth years.
Honours
The degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is awarded for
meritorious performance over the course and particularly in the
final year. The classes of honours awarded are defined in the Course
Rules.
