This program extends over four years and students study full-time during the day for twenty-eight weeks of each year (excluding examination and recess periods).

The Director of Teaching and Learning may approve various program patterns involving full-time or part-time study.

This program is also available as a combined degree program with:

Students in this program must also satisfy the General Education requirements.
This is usually 12 UOC taken in second and third year studies.
For further information, please refer to "General Education" in the Table of Contents (see left-hand side of page).

Each Faculty has responsibility for deciding what courses are able to be counted towards the General Education requirement for their students. The Faculty of Engineering is committed to providing the widest range of choice of general education electives for its students. It strongly encourages students to make the best use of this flexibility. Please contact your School Office for further information on General Education electives available to you.

For the award of Honours in the Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry programs, students need to have distinguished themselves in the formal work, in other assignments as directed by the Head of the School, and in the final year project, for which a thesis is required.

Bachelor of Engineering Program Rules

1. The Bachelor of Engineering is awarded following the completion of a minimum of 192 units of credit.

2. The specific requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering in the various disciplines are set out in the relevant sections in this Handbook.

3. The degree may be awarded with Honours, based upon the overall performance in the program and in accordance with Faculty and School policies. Honours are awarded in the following classes - Class 1, Class 2 Division 1, Class 2 Division 2.

4. The standard duration of the program is four years, or eight sessions, of full-time study each comprising 24 units of credit. Students may undertake the program over a longer period on the basis of part-time study.

5. Each student is required to complete a minimum of 60 days of approved experience in industry prior to graduation.

6. General Education electives may only be attempted after the student has attempted at least 24 units of credit.

It is compulsory that, before completion of the program, students in both the Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry full-time programs must obtain a minimum of twelve weeks professionally oriented or industrial experience. Students in the part-time programs in Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry must complete an approved program of industrial experience of not less than twelve months prior to the award of the degree

Students are expected to possess a calculator having exponential capabilities, however, more advanced calculators and personal computers, will be found useful. In examinations, students may be required to use calculators supplied by the University, so that no student will have an unfair advantage over another. Further information may be obtained from the Head of School.

Students of both Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry are advised to have a copy of Perry J H Ed. Chemical Engineers Handbook 6th Ed. McGraw-Hill. This book is used extensively for most courses and units. Certain courses and units do not have specified textbooks and in these cases reference books are used or printed notes supplied.

If you are required to complete a varied program of physics or maths in your first year (i.e. General Maths or Fundamentals of Physics), then students are not permitted to undertake studies in higher options of other courses.

Successful completion of the BE degree program is accepted by the Institution of Chemical Engineers, the Institution of Engineers, Australia, and Royal Australian Chemical Institute as sufficient academic qualification for corporate membership.
