1. With the permission of the Director of Studies, students may undertake ENGR9403 Engineering Work Experience (0 units) plus 13.5 units of upper-level topics in place of ENGR3700 Engineering Practicum or ENGR3710 International Engineering Practicum. ENGR9403 may be taken any time after the student has completed 63 units. Please see the topic coordinator for further details. Upper-level topics must be selected from COMP, ENGR, MATH and STAT topics at 2000-level and above.
2. ENGR3710 International Engineering Practicum should be selected by those students intending to undertake their Practicum outside of Australia. Enrolment is subject to approval by the College which will consider the quality and appropriateness of the placement.
3. Students must undertake the Masters Thesis topics over a minimum of two semesters.
4. Option topics must be selected from from Table A, at least half of which must be chosen from those labelled as Mechanical (Group H).
5. The honours grade awarded is determined in accordance with the University's Assessment Policy and Procedures Policy and is calculated from the Weighted Average Mark of all topics at level 7000 and above taken as part of the degree as follows:
85 ≤ WAM - Honours First Class (H1)
75 ≤ WAM < 85 - Honours Second Class Division A (H2A)
65 ≤ WAM < 75 - Honours Second Class Division B (H2B)
WAM < 65 - Honours Third Class (H3)
The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours), Master of Engineering (Biomedical) may also be studied in a combined degrees program with another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy.
