The stages of a generic combined program are shown below. It should be noted that it is possible to adapt the program by moving courses, subject to prerequisite requirements and the overall requirements given under Academic Rules below.

Day to day administration of this program is conducted through the Computer Science and Engineering Student Office, to which enquiries should be directed.

Please contact the School of Computer Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Science for information on the Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes.

Honours will be awarded to students who have achieved superior grades in courses over the whole program including the successful completion of a thesis at sufficient standard. Weighted average marks required for Honours grades are given below: The School of Computer Science and Engineering uses an internal method for calculating this average, the information provided by New South Student is not used for this purpose.

Honours Class 1: WA greater than or equal to 75

Honours Class 2: Division 1: WA equal to 70 up to and including 74

Divison 2: WA equal to 65 up to and including 69

The BE (Software Engineering)/BSc combined program requires the completion of 240uoc, including at least 84uoc of science courses, and must contain a major sequence of 42uoc at stages 2 and 3, with at least 18uoc at stage 3 in a single science discipline. To satisfy the requirement of the combined program, the free electives and the General Education electives of the standard Software Engineering program are assigned to science electives. The science content of the generic combined program consists of:

This yields a possible total of 90uoc of Science. Combined Programs are exempt from the General Education requirement.

The major Science discipline may not be Computer Science.

Students who are enrolled in a combined program are expected to maintain a credit (65% or higher) average across courses taken from each of the composite programs. Students who fail to meet this condition will be counselled about their suitability to remain in the combined program.

6. All students in the BE/BSc Software Engineering/Science program must complete at least 60 days of approved Industrial Training before the end of Year 5 to fulfill the requirements of SENG4903 in stage 5.

1. The Institution of Engineers, Australia

The professional body for engineering in Australia is the Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust), which has as its first objective the promotion of the science and practice of engineering in all its branches.

The IEAust has its national headquarters in Canberra and functions through a series of divisions, the local one being the Sydney Division. Within each division are branches representing the main interests within the profession, e.g. civil, mechanical, electrical, engineering management and environmental engineering.

Students of an approved school of engineering may join the Institution as a student member (StudIEAust). Student members receive the monthly publication Engineers Australia and for a small fee they also receive The Transactions which contains articles on a particular branch of engineering.

Student members are invited to participate in the Excellence Award for Work Experience, the National Young Engineer of the Year Award and to avail themselves of other IEAust services including the Mentor Scheme and industrial experience guidance.

For more information and membership application forms, contact The Institution of Engineers, Australia, Sydney Division, 1st Floor, 118 Alfred Street, Milsons Point 2061, telephone 8923 7100, website www.ieaust.org.au
