Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points
Studying single degree engineering
36 credit pointsIn single degree engineering, you must complete 36 credit points of elective study after Year 1. In Year 2, the 12 points of electives can be level 1, 2 or 3 units from engineering or other faculties.
In Years 3 and 4, the 24 points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list.
Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements. You may also use the elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your specialisation (This option is available only in Clayton).
In Years 3 and 4, the 24 points of electives must be level 3, 4 or 5 units and from your engineering specialisation technical electives list.
Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements. You may also use the elective study to complete an engineering minor that will complement your specialisation (This option is available only in Clayton).
Civil engineering technical electives
36 credit pointsStudying 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 1: 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.
NOTE 2: If you are studying in Malaysia, please refer to the information below about a specific professional accreditation requirement.

Studying in Malaysia - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
6 credit pointsYou 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 with engineering
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.
