Progression
Course progression requisites | Where there is overlap between the core subjects for the course and for the chosen major,students are required to contact the Division office to add substitute subjects to their study plans. It is strongly recommended that in this situation students take extra engineering subjects as listed under the corresponding major in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) single degree. |
Course includes mandatory professional placement(s) | No |
Special assessment requirements | The engineering thesis topic must be specific to the student’s chosen engineering major. |
Accreditation requirements | Nil |

Supplementary exam for final subject | Not applicable |
Advanced Standing
Eligibility | Students may apply for advanced standing for previous tertiary study in accordance with the Advanced Standing and Articulation policy and associated procedures. |
Maximum allowed | 63 credit points |
Currency | Advanced standing will be granted only for studies completed in the 10 years prior to the commencement of this course. |
Expiry | Advanced standing gained for any subject shall be cancelled 23 years after the date of the examination upon which the advanced standing is based if, by then, the student has not completed this course. |
Other restrictions | A minimum of 18 credit points of engineering subjects (including 6 credit points of fourth year thesis subjects) should be completed at for each of levels 3 and 4. If the student requests advanced standing approaching this maximum level, then the advanced standing should be predominantly from the first two levels of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program. |
