Program: 3040 - Chemical Engineering
 
 
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 Chemical Engineering.

Plan Structure


Students undertake the first three years (6 semesters) of the BE program in Chemical Engineering. 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).

Students need to apply, at the end of Year 3, to the Director of Teaching and Learning for entry into the program.

The School of Chemical Sciences and Engineering administers the program.
Stage 1 to Stage 3

Same as program 3040. (48 units of credit each Stage.)A direct link is given below:

Stages 1 - 3, program 3040

Stage 4
  • General Education course (3 UOC)

Stage 5 (Summer Semester)

Stage 5 (Session 1)
  • 4 postgraduate elective courses, totalling 24 UOC.

Academic Rules


  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
