Structure

Parts C. and D. Environmental engineering knowledge, application and professional practice108 credit points

You must complete the following core environmental engineering units

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 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 environmental engineering technical electives list. You are encouraged to take up the opportunity to pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements your engineering specialisation.

Environmental engineering technical electives

36 credit points

You may consider other engineering technical units chosen from the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite or co-requisite rules.

Studying a double degree

The 36 credit points of specialisation 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.
