Program Requirements

The Bachelor of Engineering (Research & Development)  is a four year full time program with graduates obtaining a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours. Students will have to complete 192 units including:
1. 42 units of the following professional core courses (compulsory):

• ENGN1211 Discovering Engineering
• ENGN2225 Systems Engineering Design
• ENGN2226 Systems Engineering Analysis
• ENGN3211 Investment Decision and Financial Systems
• ENGN3221 Engineering Management
• ENGN3100 Practical Experience (0 unit value)
• ENGN4221 Systems Engineering Project
• ENGN4611 Engineering Law

2. 30 units of engineering fundamental courses (compulsory);

• ENGN1215 Engineering Science
• ENGN1217 Introduction to Mechanics
• ENGN1218 Introduction to Electronics
• ENGN2217 Mechanical Systems and Design
• ENGN2218 Electrical Systems and Design
  
  
  

3. 30 units of engineering discipline courses from the Engineering Discipline Courses listed under item 3 in the Bachelor of Engineering Undergraduate Handbook entry. Students must complete at least one of the Engineering Majors.

4. 12 units of mathematics;

• MATH1115 Mathematics and Applications 1(Honours) and
• MATH1116 Mathematics and Applications 2(Honours)

5. 6 units of computing;

• COMP1100 Introduction to Programming and Algorithms

6.  6 units of physics;

• PHYS1101 Advanced Physics 1

7.  30 units of courses offered by the university (i.e. university electives). These can include additional engineering courses. The degree program may not contain more than 60 units of 1000-series courses.

8.  A Research and Development major comprised of ENGN4221 Systems Engineering Project and 36 units of project based courses made up of 6 unit, 12 unit, 18 unit and 24 unit courses listed below and of which one must be at least 12 units. These can be taken in years 2, 3 and 4 of the program.

ENGN2706 R&D Project (Methods) (6 unit)
ENGN3706 R&D Project (6 unit)
ENGN3712 R&D Project (12 unit)
ENGN4706 R&D Project (6 unit)
ENGN4712 R&D Project (12 unit)
ENGN4718 R&D Project (18 unit)
ENGN4724 R&D Project (24 unit)

ENGN2706 R&D Project (Methods) is compulsory. The remaining 30 units will be comprised of any combination of the other R&D Project courses, subject to approval from the program convenor.

9. The School of Engineering will determine annually whether the level of performance of a student is sufficient to remain in the program. Generally, the expectation is for performance at, or very near, a high distinction average. Students deemed not to be performing at an appropriate level will be able to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering program, with appropriate status granted for courses successfully completed.

10. Graduation from the BE(R&D) Program will require the award of 1st class honours.
