To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) 4 years.
The Clean Technology Specialisation is offered as part of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) and requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The Specialisation is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
Specialisations have different admission requirements to other programs of study available in the Bachelor of Science (Honours). In order to undertake a Specialisation students must be admitted to the Specialisation program. The name of the Specialisation will appear on the transcript and parchment.
Within the Bachelor of Science (Clean Technology) students will have the option of three streams: namely a Technology Solutions Stream, an Environmental Solutions Stream and a Biological Solutions Stream. The topic sequence for each forms a coherent and explicit path towards a comprehensive appreciation of, and competence in, the appropriate underlying science.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements. Successful completion of one of SACE Mathematical Methods, Mathematical Studies, or Specialist Mathematics or equivalent IB or interstate subjects is required.
In order to progress into the Honours year of this program, a student must complete 108 units of the Bachelor of Science (Clean Technology) achieving an academic standard of a GPA greater than or equal to 5.
As well as the student's undergraduate record, the availability of an academic supervisor for the research project will be taken into account.
The goal of this course will be to provide a high quality education by providing both an awareness of current issues and the various technological approaches to solving these issues. The streaming structure of the course will see many issues covered during the degree. The Honours year will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study in disciplines related to clean technology science or for a career in a science-related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
On successful completion of the course, graduates should be able to:
In addition, the Honours year will enable graduates to:
To qualify for the Bachelor of Science (Honours) (Clean Technology) a student must complete 144 units, with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
No more than 45 units of First Year level topics may be included in the 108 units for the degree. A topic cannot be counted twice.
Elective topics to complete 144 units may be selected from any offered within the University or, with approval from the College of Science and Engineering, from outside the University, provided any course and prerequisite requirements are met.
Not all topics are necessarily available in a given year.
Upon completion of at least 103.5 units and with a GPA of 5 or more in the last 36 units of study, students may commence the Fourth Year Honours program. Students who do not meet the GPA requirement will exit with the Bachelor of Science (Clean Technology) on completion of 108 units
Except where there is an approved double specialisation (see Bachelor of Science program of study) the same upper level (2xxx or above) topic cannot be counted twice. For example an upper level topic that is counted towards a specialisation may not also be counted towards a minor.
Students undertake one of three streams in the Clean Technology Specialisation:
Details of the material covered in each stream follows:
Technology Solutions Stream - new sensors, solar cells, water filtration membranes etc.
Environmental Solutions Stream - monitoring, actions, groundwater, environmental health etc.
Biological Solutions Stream - remediation, biorestoration application of biological systems to the development of clean technologies, bioenergy including microbial fuels cells, biogas production, biofuels etc.
