Rules for completing this course

You must complete 144 credit points, comprising: - Part C. Core specialist studies (108 credit points); - Part D. Professional practice (0 credit points); and - Part E. Elective studies (36 credit points).

Part C. Core specialist studies

108 cp

You must complete 108 credit points, comprising: - the following units (102 credit points); and - one unit (6 credit points) from the Professional Practice domain list.

Professional Practice domain

6 cp

You must complete 6 credit points from the following units

  • ENG4801Professional practice (Curriculum embedded)6 cp
  • ENG4802Professional practice (Student teams)6 cp
  • ENG4803Professional practice (Industry experience)6 cp
  • ENG4804Professional practice (Co-operative education)6 cp

Part D. Professional practice

Continuous professional development is a crucial part of meeting the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard to be a Professional Engineer. You must enrol in the following unit in your final year and satisfy the professional development requirements.

  • ENG0001Engineering continuous professional development0 cp

Part E. Elective studies

36 cp

You must complete 36 credit points, comprising: - In year 2: 12 credit points at Level 1, 2 or 3 from the Faculty of Engineering or other faculties; - In years 3 and 4: 24 credit points at Level 3, 4 or 5 from the Technical electives list. Note 1: Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements. Note 2: You may use your elective studies to complete an engineering minor, or any unit from an engineering minor, that will complement your specialisation. If you select a single unit you must ensure you meet the unit prerequisites or co-requisite rules. This will allow you to tailor your studies and broaden your knowledge within the field of engineering while still aligning with your chosen specialisation. Note 3: You may enrol in up to two units (12 credit points) at Level 5. To be eligible to enrol in Level 5 units, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of Level 3 and be in your final year of study. If you intend to enrol in the Master of Engineering, completing Level 5 units that are core in the Master's course will reduce the total duration of your Master's study. Double degree students are not required to complete this Part. The 36 credit points of aerospace engineering technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree courses.
