Program Description

The streams under program 3710, which lead to the award of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (BE), are designed to provide the appropriate academic training for the professional engineer in the fields of Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Management, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering and Naval Architecture. The first two years of these streams are identical whilst the third and fourth years of the streams contain a number of common courses. Professional elective courses provide for a limited degree of specialisation in the fourth year of the Mechanical Engineering stream. The Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Management, Mechatronic Engineering and Naval Architecture streams do not have professional elective components. Each student is required to submit a thesis at the end of the final year and to deliver a seminar on the topic of the thesis.

Note:
The School also offers the dual degree programs:

BE/BSc,Program 3711
BE/BA,Program 3704
BE/BCom, Program 3715
BE/LLB,Program 4778
BE/MBiomedE in Mechanical Engineering, Program 3683 and
BE/MBiomedE in Mechatronic Engineering, Program 3688

Program Structure

The program structure is listed under each individual stream; please see links to each stream below.

The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. Suggestions for other course sequences consistent with timetabling and availability can be found on the School website. While some courses are given twice a year, many courses are given only once a year. In addition, courses may have prerequisites and exclusions. Thus students should plan their enrolments appropriately.

Professional Recognition

The Institution of Engineers, Australia, recognises the degree of BE in any of the undergraduate programs offered by the School as meeting the examination requirements for admission to graduate and corporate membership. Substantial or complete recognition is accorded to the BE degree programs by overseas engineering institutions.

The award of the BE degree in Aerospace Engineering is recognised by the Royal Aeronautical Society as giving exemption from the formal examination requirements for corporate membership. Advancement from graduate membership to associate membership grade is awarded on a case by case basis after a further period of some years of professional experience.

The award of the BE degree in Naval Architecture is recognised by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), London, as the academic qualification for corporate membership of that body.
  • A student who is faced with compiling a timetable comprising courses from two academic years must give preference to courses from the lower year.
  • For students taking the Manufacturing Engineering and Management stream, the accounting courses GENC1001, GENC1002 or GENC1003 should not be chosen as they partially duplicate course ACCT9003.

Thesis Arrangements
  • The course MMAN4000 Professional Engineering must only be taken in conjunction with either MMAN4010 Thesis A or MMAN4020 Thesis B.
  • MMAN4010 and MMAN4020 must be undertaken in two consecutive semesters which are the final two semesters of candidature.
  • A student must not be enrolled in more than 24 units of credit in any semester involving MMAN4010 and MMAN4020.
  • A single thesis project is commenced in MMAN4010 and completed in MMAN4020. MMAN4020 carries the mark for the thesis project.
  • MMAN4010 is graded satisfactory (SY)/failure (FL). If a student receives a failure (FL) in MMAN4010, a student cannot proceed with MMAN4020.
  • If the project is abandoned during MMAN4020, or if MMAN4020 is failed, then the satisfactory (SY) for MMAN4010 is changed to failure (FL). To complete the degree, a completely new topic must be chosen and the student must enrol again in both MMAN4010 and MMAN4020. (For BE/MBiomedE students, read BIOM5001 instead of MMAN4010 and BIOM5003 instead of MMAN4020).
