Program structure changes in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

What is changing?

The current Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program offers:

• Specialisations in Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, and Software Engineering
• The ability to tailor your specialisation with majors or minors to meet your interests and career goals:
  • Majors in Aerospace, Biomedical, Bioprocess, Computer, Environmental, Geotechnical, Materials, Metallurgical, Mining, Structural, Transport, and Water and Marine Engineering. 
  • Minors in Data Science, Computing, or Design

What has been discontinued in the previous BE(Hons) structure??

• Mining Engineering and Mining and Geotechnical Engineering majors have been discontinued in the pre-2021 BE(Hons) program.
  Unless you declared one of these majors by 31 August 2020, you will not be permitted to undertake these majors if you are studying the pre-2021 program structure. Students currently enrolled in Mining Engineering and Mining and Geotechnical Engineering will be able to complete their program.
• ENGG1200, a compulsory course in the pre-2021 BE(Hons) program was last offered in Semester 2, 2020 and has been discontinued – What is the replacement course for ENGG1200?
• ENGG1700 replaces ENGG1400 – some dynamics content is moving to MATH1052. *If you commenced prior to 2021 and are intending to study Mechanical or Mechatronics and have NOT completed ENGG1400, please seek advice from your Academic Advisor.

I started the BE(Hons) prior to 2021 and I want to change to the new current program structure

To change to the current BE(Hons) program structure, are required to submit mySI-net during the program change request window. You are strongly advised to complete the transition checklist and seek academic advice before requesting a program change. Once a program change is approved, you will not be permitted to return to the discontinued structure.

If you choose to change, you will be required to follow the program structure and program requirements for the year that you change. Please note that in some instances, there are no substitutions for compulsory courses in the current program.

This may mean that you will be required to complete additional courses above the minimum program requirements. In addition, due to the progressive rollout of some new course offerings, this may also result in a potential delay to your graduation.

It is very important that existing students seek academic advice before requesting to change into the new program.
