Parts C and D. Civil engineering knowledge, application and professional practice108 credit points
Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points

Studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) single degree

36 credit points
Electives must be completed at the unit level required to satisfy the course requirements. You must complete a total of 36 credit points of engineering elective study. 12 credit points must be at levels 2 or 3 and 24 credit points must be at levels 3 and 4 or 5 from the engineering technical electives list below. If you have completed two electives in Year 1 in a non-engineering minor in a discipline from another faculty that is approved by the Faculty of Engineering, you may want to use the 12 credit points at level 2 to complete the non-engineering minor, or choose from the civil engineering technical electives list. If you are studying the course at the Clayton campus in Australia, you are encouraged to take up the opportunity to pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements your engineering specialisation.

Civil engineering technical electives

36 credit points
Studying in Clayton: You may consider other engineering technical units chosen from the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite and/or co-requisite rules. Studying in Malaysia: You may consider other engineering technical units with approval from the School of Engineering and subject to meeting the unit prerequisite and/or co-requisite rules. NOTE: To enrol in a level 5 unit listed below, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of level 3 and be in your final year.

Studying in Malaysia - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

6 credit points
You must complete ENG1021 either as a First Year elective or a Civil engineering technical elective to satisfy the Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia (EAC) requirement for accreditation in Malaysia.

Studying a double degree

The 36 credit points of civil engineering technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree courses.
