Note:
Students must chose 12 cp comprising EITHER Engineering Project units A and B OR Honours Thesis units A and B. Honours Thesis requires an Intermediate/Senior average mark (ISWAM) of 65% or greater. Students below this threshold must enrol in Engineering Project.
The Engineering Project or Honours Thesis may be either in the field of Biomedical engineering, or the Engineering Major. Students undertaking a project or thesis in Biomedical Engineering or Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering should enrol in AMME units. Students undertaking a project or thesis in Electrical Engineering or Information Technology should enrol in ELEC units. Students undertaking a thesis/project in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering should enrol in CHNG units.
