Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
Qualification for this award requires the successful completion of 320 credit points, which include the subjects listed in the recommended sequence below.
* All students undertaking the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) are required to enrol inMATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary and undertake a readiness test at the beginning of their study.
The readiness test will be conducted at the beginning of the first semester of enrolment and the result will be used to determine whether a student will remain in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary or be transferred by the School to MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1
Students remaining in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary will be required to complete MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1during the Spring session and will be encouraged to complete MATH 1019 Mathematics for Engineers 2 during the Summer session.
