The Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours requires the completion of 425 credit points comprising:
- 225 credit points of Core units
- 150 credit point Specialisation
- 50 credit points of Electives
The Core units are compulsory for all students and consist of 8 introductory level units (100 credit points) i.e. a common first-year, 4 intermediate level units (50 credit points), two double-weighted honours project units (50 credit points), and two WIL (industrial experience) units (25 credit points). All engineering students undertake 12 weeks of industrial experience via work placement, typically in the summer between your third and fourth year.
In Year 2, you will select your engineering Specialisation from the following: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering or Electronics and Communications Engineering.
In the Elective component you can choose from any units marked as "Student Electives" which you meet the pre-requisites for, at any level, from across the university. To search for possible Elective units, use the Unit Search tool to search by the discipline that you are interested in.
Your electives can be used to add breadth to your degree, by exploring a variety of different subject areas from within or outside the College of Sciences and Engineering. Alternatively, you can deepen your engagement with specific subject areas, for example, by completing additional units in the same discipline as your major or related fields.
