	Program: 3710 - Mechanical & Manufacturing Eng
	Award(s):
	Bachelor of Engineering (Major)

Plan Outline

Students may undertake a 4.5 years (10 semesters) full-time fast-track program leading to the awards of a Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Engineering Science in Manufacturing Engineering and Management.

Plan Structure

Students undertake the first three years (6 semesters) of the BE program in Manufacturing Engineering and Management. Subject to satisfying a minimum performance over these three years, they:

(a) substitute 12 units of credit of the standard 4th year BE degree program with a School approved 12 units of credit of graduate coursework in their 4th year;
(b) undertake 12 units of credit of project/thesis work over the Summer (9th) semester; and
(c) undertake 24 units of credit of graduate coursework in the 10th semester (first half of their 5th year).

Years 1, 2 and 3 (MANFA13710)

Students in Years 1 and 2 are enrolled in the standard single degree Manufacturing Engineering and Management plan MANFA13710 within program 3710.

Year 4 (plan MANFL13710)

In Year 4, students transfer to the special plan MANFL13710 within program 3710. Compared to the standard plan for Session 1 of Year 4, the postgraduate course MANF9471 Manufacturing Strategy is substituted for MANF4440 Strategic ManufacturingManagement and for MANF4500 Computers in Manufacturing 2. In Session 2, the postgraduate course MANF9340 Factory Automationis substituted for MANF4300 Design of Manufacturing Facilities 2.

MANF4011 Analysis of Manuf. Systems A (3 UOC)
MANF4012 Analysis of Manuf. Systems B (3 UOC)
MANF4430 Management for Engineers (6 UOC)
MANF4601 Comp Aided Production Mgmt A (3 UOC)
MANF4602 Comp Aided Production Mgmt B (3 UOC)
MANF9340 Factory Automation (6 UOC)
MANF9471 Manufacturing Strategy (6 UOC)
MECH4001 Comm. for Professional Eng. (3 UOC)
MECH4003 Thesis A (6 UOC)
MECH4004 Thesis B (9 UOC)

8710 Manufacturing Engineering and Management

After Year 4, students having completed their engineering program, change to MEngSc program 8710.

Summer Session between Year 4 and Year 5

Students undertake a 12 Units of Credit project, MANF9010.

Year 5

24 Units of Credit of courses are selected from the School's postgraduate courses. It is suggested that consideration be given to the courses making up the Manufacturing Engineering and Management specialisation plans outlined in the Postgraduate Handbook. Attribution of a specialisation on the Master of Engineering Science testamur may not be possible if project MANF9010 has been taken instead of certain courses. Consult the School for direction on this matter.

Academic Rules

The minimum duration of the program is 4.5 years (including a summer semester at the end of the 4th year) leading to the award of the two degrees Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Master of Engineering Science (MEngSc). In the School of Computer Science and Engineering, the award is Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Master of Information Technology (MIT).
Students must study all courses in the sequence approved by the Faculty of Engineering and are not permitted to enrol in any graduate course until the first six semesters of the program are successfully completed.
A minimum average of 65% in the first 3 years of the BE program is required for consideration for entry to the fast track degree program.
Honours grading for the BE degree will be based on performance in the first 4 years of study, with course weightings in accordance with School guidelines. The 12 units of credit of graduate coursework undertaken in Year 4 are thus counted for both degrees.
Normal Student Contributions/fees apply to the first 8 semesters of the program (including the 12 units of credit of MEngSc courses completed in Year 4) consistent with other undergraduate programs within the Faculty. Fees for the remaining 36 units of credit of the MEngSc program will be 75% of the current fee for the standard 48 units of credit MEngSc.
