Program Description
This program is designed for those students who wish to study engineering but choose to delay their choice of which branch of engineering to study until the end of Year 1. Students stay in this program until they have passed more than 30 UOC and are of Good Standing, at which time they transfer into one of the following programs:
- 3040 BE in Chemical Engineeringprogram 3040
- 3620 BE in Civil Engineering program 3620
- 3645 BE in Computer Engineering program 3645
- 3640 BE in Electrical Engineering program 3640
- 3625 BE in Environmental Engineeringprogram 3625
- 3100 BE in Industrial Chemistryprogram 3100
- 3710 BE in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (includes Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Management, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering and Naval Architecture)program 3710
- 3140 BE in Mining Engineeringprogram 3140
- 3045 BE in Petroleum Engineeringprogram 3045
- 3644 BE in Photonic Engineeringprogram 3644
- 3642 BE in Photovoltaics and Solar Energy program 3642
- 3657 BE in Renewable Energy Engineeringprogram 3657
- 3742 BE in Surveying & Geoinformation Systems program 3742
- 3643 BE in Telecommunications program 3643
or may apply to transfer into one of the dual award degrees with Science BE/BSc, with Arts BE/BA, with another engineering (limited options) BE/BE, or with Commerce BE/BCom, or into the concurrent degree with Biomedical Engineering BE/MBiomedE.

Program Structure
Year 1
Choose ONE of:
Choose ONE of:
- MATH1131 Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
- MATH1141 Higher Mathematics 1A (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- MATH1231 Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
- MATH1241 Higher Mathematics 1B (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- PHYS1121 Physics 1A (6 UOC)
- PHYS1131 Higher Physics 1A (6 UOC)
And ONE of:
- COMP1911 Computing 1A (6 UOC)
- ENGG1811 Computing for Engineers (6 UOC)
Plus
- ENGG1000 Engineering Design (6 UOC)
And also choose three Year 1 Electives totalling 18 UOC
These electives should be chosen from the Year 1 elective list
Students can use first year elective courses to satisfy core requirements for specific engineering programs, allowing them to have additional professional elective courses in subsequent years. Some elective courses assume that the student has taken the appropriate prerequisite course whereas some elective courses have exclusions, that is, other courses are excluded. Thus students should choose their electives appropriately to optimise their course options in subsequent years.
Years 2 to 4
