* Scholars students must complete ECTE355 Scholars Project instead of a General Schedule subject. Students must seek enrolment advice at the beginning of their Third Year.

^ General Schedule subjects are selected from the General Schedule. They may be 100/200/300/400-level (excluding ECTE181, ECTE182, ECTE282 and ECTE283) and are subject to the approval of the Head of School or nominee.

SECTE Elective Subjects

Subjects appearing on the SECTE Elective Subjects list will only count as either a Major Subject or an SECTE Elective Subject.

Unless class numbers warrant, not all Elective Subjects will be offered in any one year.  

Credit Arrangements

Credit and articulation arrangements are available from the Course Finder. Refer to UOW's credit arrangements for information on how to apply for credit.

Professional Recognition/Accreditation

UOW's engineering programs are accredited by Engineers Australia and relevant world engineering bodies through the Washington Accord. This ensures recognition by equivalent professional engineering bodies in the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Ireland, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries.
