*With the permission of the Course Coordinator eligible students may enrol in Advanced Studies for Engineering.
1. With the permission of the Course Coordinator students may undertake ENGR9405 Engineering Work Experience (4.5 units) plus 9 units of upper-level topics in place of ENGR3700 Engineering Practicum or ENGR3710 International Engineering Practicum. ENGR9405 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 and will consider the quality and appropriateness of the placement.
3. Students must undertake the Engineering Thesis topics over a minimum of two consecutive semesters.
4. The honours grade awarded is determined in accordance with the University's Assessment Policy and Procedures 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)
50 ≤ WAM < 65 - Honours Third Class (H3)
Where a student has satisfied all requirements for the course but has achieved a WAM of less than 50, the WAM will be deemed 50 for the purposes of calculating the honours classification.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours) 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.
