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.
Scholars Research Options:
Engineering Scholars Program students have the option of undertaking
research projects with the various Faculty Research Units. Students
should discuss proposals with the Discipline Director of Studies

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.
The Faculty of Engineering offers courses leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Engineering in the six major engineering
