General degree, without major

UAC code: 603105
Testamur title: Bachelor of Engineering
Diploma in Engineering Practice
Total credit points: 204

Students may choose not to take any of the specified majors but may instead choose to make up a personal program drawing on several fields of engineering practice. The program of study would be:

• Core program: 60cp
• Engineering Practice Program: 12cp, plus 48 weeks of approved internship
• Fields of practice: 96cp
• Electives: 30cp
• Capstone Project: 6cp

Personal programs must be negotiated with an academic adviser and approved not later than the commencement of the student's third semester of study. All such programs must be approved by the Director, Undergraduate Programs. Any subsequent variations to the program must be approved by the academic adviser, or the Director, who has discretion to approve minor variations to the above program (for example, inclusion in the 96-credit-point fields of practice subjects of a subject from another faculty or discipline).

The fields of practice subjects must include an appropriate balance of introductory and advanced subjects, which the Director determines, and must represent a coherent theme or potential career interest.

Students are cautioned that such a general degree may not meet the requirements of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, for NPER3 registration as a chartered professional engineer. Advice in this regard should be sought through the Director, Undergraduate Programs at the time of negotiating the program.
