Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points
Students enrolled in the single degree Engineering
36 credit pointsIn Year 2, you must complete 12 credit points of electives which can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from Engineering or other faculties, subject to meeting the unit enrolment rules. Please ensure that you adhere to the course rules regarding level 1 units and do not exceed the maximum 60 credit points allowed.
In Years 3 and 4, you must complete 24 credit points of electives which must be level 3 or 4 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list. You may also enrol in up to two level 5 units in your final year. If you intend to enrol in the Faculty's Master of Engineering post-graduate, completing level 5 units that are core in the Master's course will reduce the total duration of your Master's study.
Aerospace engineering technical electives
Option 1: You may use your electives to complete a complementary engineering minor that is available with your specialisation. This allows you to further enhance your knowledge and skills in a specific area of engineering that complements your main field of study.
Option 2: You may consider engineering technical units listed across the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite or co-requisite rules. This will allow you to tailor your studies and broaden your knowledge within the field of engineering while still aligning with your chosen specialisation.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a compulsory requirement for all Engineering students. You must complete 420 hours of continuous professional development in order to graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) qualification. It is a collection of all work including volunteer, personal and professional practice experiences outside the classroom which may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment taken throughout the duration of the course. You must submit a series of reflections on your experience with particular reference to the development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies. Visit the Student Experience website for more information about professional development.
