Bachelor of Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering degree with Honours
Honours grades in the BE degree are awarded by the School of Engineering on the basis of a recommendation from the Head of Engineering and may be awarded with first class honours; second class honours, division A; or second class honours, division B.
The awarding of honours in engineering is based on meritorious performance over the entire four-year program. The assessment of meritorious performance includes the calculation of an average percentage mark (APM), together with the consideration of the overall academic progress of the student and the Individual Project result. To determine the global APM, the first year average mark is weighted by a factor 0.1, and the combined average of years 2, 3 and 4 by a factor 0.9.
The first year average mark is the average of the marks awarded in the following courses: ENGN1211 Discovering Engineering, ENGN1215 Engineering Science, ENGN1217 Introduction to Mechanics, ENGN1218 Introduction to Electronics, MATH1013 Mathematics & Applications 1 (or MATH1115), MATH1014 Mathematics & Applications 2 (or MATH1116), PHYS1101 Advanced Physics I, and COMP1100 Introduction to Programming & Algorithms.
The average mark for the remainder years is the average mark awarded in all the additional engineering courses (that is, having an ENGNxxxx code number) completed by the student, excluding ENGN4200 Individual Project, which is considered separately.
