Program structure changes in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Engineering

What is the new program structure?

• 8 units of BE(Hons) Core Courses (ENGG1100 / ENGG1001 or CSSE1001 / MATH1051 / MATH1052); 
• 66 units for a Field of Study, and
• 0-4 units Preparatory Courses (MATH1050/PHYS1171/CHEM1090), and
• 0-6 units Program Electives, and
• 0-4 units General Electives

View the course list for this program.

Available Fields of Study:

• Chemical Engineering
• Chemical and Biomedical Engineering*
• Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering*
• Chemical and Environmental Engineering
• Chemical and Materials Engineering
• Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Civil and Environmental Engineering*
• Electrical Engineering
• Electrical and Biomedical Engineering
• Electrical and Computer Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
• Mechanical and Materials Engineering
• Mechatronic Engineering
• Software Engineering

*New fields of study available in 2021

What has been discontinued?

• The Fields of Study in Chemical and Biological Engineering and Civil and Fire Safety Engineering have been discontinued. Existing students in these fields will be able to complete their current program.
• ENGG1200 was last offered in Sem 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.

Continuing in the pre-2021 program after changing from BE(Hons) or BE(Hons) dual program

Students program changing to the BE(Hons)/ME in 2021 after completing at least 16 units in the BE(Hons) or BE(Hons) dual program may follow the pre-2021 program structure in the BE(Hons)/ME, except when selecting a field of study that was first introduced in 2021 (Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering). Please refer to the relevant pre-2021 checklist to plan your enrolment in the BE(Hons)/ME program.

I want to change to the new program

In some instances, pre-2021 students may choose to change to the new program structure. If you wish to select a field of study that was introduced in 2021 (Chemical and Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering), you will need to follow the new program structure. Please contact the EAIT student administration team to discuss this.

If you choose to change to the new curriculum, you will be required to follow the 2021 program structure and program requirements. Please note that in some instances, there are no existing substitutions for new compulsory courses in the new 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.
