Program Description
The program 3710 leads to the award of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and is 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 disciplines are almost identical with some variation for Mechatronic Engineering whilst the third and fourth years contain a number of common courses. Professional elective courses provide for a limited degree of specialisation in the fourth year. 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. Each student is also required to undertake 60 days of Industrial Training.

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).
