The Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) (Honours) is offered by the College of Science and Engineering. It requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). Students who do not qualify but who have completed SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) General Mathematics or SACE Stage 1 Mathematics should consider the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - General Entry.
This new course has been designed to be accredited at the level of Professional Engineer and will be presented for accreditation by Engineers Australia in the near future. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered Professional Engineering status.
The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.
Successful completion of either SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required for entry. Knowledge of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
On completion of this course you will be able to:

Course Rule Notes
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 which will consider the quality and appropriateness of the placement.
3. Students must undertake the Honours Thesis topics over a minimum of two 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.
5. With the permission of the Course Coordinator eligible students may enrol in Advanced Studies for Engineering.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental) (Honours) may also be studied in a combined degrees program with:
