The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications offers a five year integrated degree program (240 UOC) leading to a Bachelor of Engineering and Master of Engineering (BE ME) in Electrical Engineering. The program includes a compulsory 24 UOC minor in a discipline outside the area of electrical engineering and telecommunications. Flexibility and choice are maintained throughout the entire structure by providing many elective courses.
Program Outcomes The program outcomes are achieved through the learning outcomes of all courses including project work, electives and compulsory and relevant industrial training within the BE ME integrated degree program. The 5-year BE ME structure is designed such that at graduation, students would be expected to have desired skills competency, such as creative problem solving, innovative design, capacity for analytical and critical thinking, independent in reflective learning, in-depth discipline specific knowledge, good communication skills, professional attitude and ethical practice, and teamwork. Requirements for the BE ME degree To qualify for the Bachelor of Engineering/ Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering integrated degree, students must successfully complete 240 UoC, which is made up of the following:
* Minor courses are taken from one and only one discipline outside the area of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, including Music, Language, Commerce, Psychology, Mechatronics, Photovoltaics, Computing, Mathematics, and Physics, etc. (see list at bottom of page).
Notes: This program has received provisional accreditation by Engineers Australia. Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes Please see
Rules Each student must complete a nominated minor. The balance of the program is discipline specific core and elective study.
The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the degree. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. While some courses are given twice a year, many courses are given only once a year. In addition, courses may have prerequisites and exclusions. Depending on the minor chosen the ordering of courses may differ (see minor list below). Students are strongly encouraged to consult the School about the sequence of courses in the program. Year 1

NOTES:
It is anticipated that this program will lead to accreditation by Engineers Australia. * The 12 UOC BE and ME projects can be combined to form a 24 UOC project carried out over the 4th and 5th year of the program. ** Minor courses are taken from one discipline outside the area of electrical engineering and telecommunications, including Music, Industrial Design, Maths, Physics, Art, Computing, Commerce, etc. *** Minors in excess of 24 UOC taken outside the Faculty of Engineering can also contribute to general education. In considering advanced standing & credit transfer for any individual student, the rules of UNSW policy apply. Only in exceptional circumstances will students be permitted to enrol in more than 24 units of credit in a session. The part-time mode will usually require students to enrol in a minimum of 18 UOC within any three consecutive sessions. For information regarding fees for UNSW programs, please refer to the following website: https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/fees/FeesMainPage.html
Industrial Experience Requirements All students are required to undertake mandatory industrial training. Each student is personally responsible for arranging and completing the full 60 days compulsory industrial training prescribed as part of the requirements for the award of the degree. Industrial training should be concurrent with enrolment and is best accumulated in the summer recesses at the end of the second and third years of the program, but it must be completed before graduating. Industrial training should be in the area of engineering design and/or project work, but limited credit may be given for work of a non-engineering nature. It is preferable that all 60 days be completed with one or two organisations. Students should, in general, work with professional engineers and take an active part in their work in the design of equipment, solving of engineering problems, or any other work that is relevant to the profession of Engineering.
Students are required to submit a written report on their industry placements, typically 2000-3000 words, describing the organisation of the Company, summarising the work done and the training received. The report must be accompanied by certification of their industrial placement by a senior company representative. Industrial Training will be assessed as a compulsory part of the course ELEC4122 Strategic Leadership and Ethics. Students must complete the industrial training requirement in order to receive a completed assessment for this course, but the industrial training assessment does not affect the mark received for ELEC4122. |
