Information valid for students commencing 2020

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

This course list contains information for pre-2021 BE (Hons) students only. It is recommended that students go to the transition checklists for course information, as a number of courses may now be renamed, recoded or unavailable due to the program re-structure in 2021. Approved substitutions for your courses can be found in the relevant checklist . Please view the Faculty website for further information.

If you commenced the BE(Hons) in 2021 please follow the 2021 structure.

Flexible First Year

Flexible First Year (Plan code UNDECX2342) During the first year of study students can choose to commence in their chosen specialisation or undertake the flexible first year. The flexible first year allows students to keep their options open and provides the opportunity to experience the diverse range of engineering disciplines. Students will be required to choose their program specialisation by the commencement of second year.

Students undertaking the flexible first year program will complete 16 units comprising:

  1. 4 units from part A1; and
  2. 4 units from part A2; and
  3. 2 to 6 units from part B; and
  4. 2 to 6 units from part C and D or other courses approved by the Executive Dean.
    5. Note: No more than 4 units will be permitted from part D.
