Program Description
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 (Hons) / Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering integrated degree, students must successfully complete 240 UOC, which is made up of the following:
- 156 UOC (3.25 Years) of Core comprising discipline-specific courses, discipline-specific thesis project work, design courses, and management courses.
- 48 UOC (1 Year) of professional electives comprising L3, L4 and L5 (postgraduate) electives.
- 36 UOC (0.75 Years) of breadth electives comprising a minor* and general education.
- Industrial Training (60 days, core for 0 UOC)
Progression
To ensure that all students who complete the program attain the honours and masters level learning outcomes of the program, the progression rules for the program are as follows:
- No level 4 course until 102 UOC of program passed
- No level 3 course until all Introductory core passed
- If any of the conditions below apply, students will be transferred to the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) or the Bachelor of Engineering Science program, with such transfer subject to appeal:
- 2 fails in any given core course
- a WAM of less than 65%
