Plan Summary

 
Faculty: Faculty of Engineering
 
  
   
 
Program: 3645 - Computer 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 Information Technology.

Plan Structure

Students undertake the first 3 years (6 semesters) of the BE program in Computer Engineering.

Subject to satisfying 75% over Years 2 and 3 (see Program Rules below),they then:

(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).

Program 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 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 combined 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 MIT courses completed in Year 4) consistent with other undergraduate programs within the Faculty. Fees for the remaining 36 units of credit of the MIT program will be 75% of the current fee for the standard 48 units of credit MIT.
