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.
