Plan Outline

A Bachelor of Engineering degree in Manufacturing Engineering and Management and a Master of Engineering Science degree (BE MEngSc) can both be completed in four and a half years of study. The first three years are unchanged.

Students undertake the first three years (6 sessions) of the BE program in Manufacturing Engineering and Management. Subject to satisfying a minimum performance requirement over these three years (see below), they (a) substitute 12 units of credit of the standard Year 4 BE degree program with 12 units of credit of approved postgraduate coursework in their fourth year, (b) they undertake 12 units of credit of project/thesis work over the Summer (9th) session, and (c) they undertake 24 units of credit of postgraduate coursework in the 10th session (first half of their fifth year).

There will be a testamur for each degree. The degree of Bachelor of Engineering will be awarded on the satisfactory completion of the first eight sessions.

Admission Requirements:
Admission to the BE MEngSc will require a Credit average by the end of Year 3.

Plan Structure

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.

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.

Bachelor of Eng / Master of Eng Sci Progm 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).
  • 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 combined 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 HECS/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.
