Program Description

After commencing at UNSW@ADFA students may apply to undertake the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)/Bachelor of Science (BE/BSc).

Owing to current military policy, students will normally only be considered for a combined degree if they have sufficient credit for previous study (advanced standing) to enable them to complete the requirements for this combined degree in four years.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The program objectives and learning outcomes are the combined objectives and learning outcomes of the Bachelor of Science (4410) and Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering (4423)).

Program Structure

UNSW@ADFA offers a five-year full-time equivalent program leading to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) and Bachelor of Science degrees. However, current service obligations prevent cadets from enrolling in a five-year program.

To be able to complete the requirements of both degrees in four years, with a standard workload of 24 UOC per session, an applicant will need sufficient credit from previous studies at a recognised tertiary institution.

Academic Rules

1. These degree rules must be used in conjunction with the UNSW@ADFA Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students.

2 The program is a five-year full-time combined program leading to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Bachelor of Science (BSc) degrees.

3 These rules are designed to operate in conjunction with the BE and BSc degree rules. These are published in the UNSW@ADFA Handbook for the same year that the student commences studying the double degree program.

4 The program will include a minimum of 240 units of credit overall, including:
4.1 174UOC for the BEng degree
4.2 48UOC for a BSc major
4.3 12UOC for elective courses chosen from Science disciplines
4.4 6UOC for one Directed Studies course.

5 Students will be exempt from the General Education requirements of both degrees.

6 Neither degree will be awarded until the requirements of both are met at the completion of the five-year program. Students will receive a testamur for each degree.

7 After commencing the program, a student may elect to transfer into either the BSc or BE program. The student then need only meet the requirements of the specified single degree to be eligible to graduate.

8 Honours

9 Students who meet the requirements of the double program may seek approval from the relevant Head of School to enrol in the standard BSc (Honours) program.

10 Honours in the BE degree will be awarded as determined by the standard BE (Honours) criteria.
