Course: | Mechatronic / Medical Science (2016) |
CP Required: | 240 |
Min FT Duration: | 5.00 Years |
Min PT Duration: | N/A |
Faculty/School: | Faculty of Engineering |
Years Offered: | 2017, 2016, 2015 |
Requirements: | In summary the requirements are: Students must complete 240 credit points as follows: Engineering (144 credit points): ► 36 credit points of Engineering core units ► 108 credit points of Mechatronic stream core units Medical Science: ► 96 credit points of Medical Science units The handbook rules governing this degree are as follows: To qualify for the award of the combined degree: (a) For all Bachelor of Engineering combined degrees a candidate must complete 240 credit points and satisfy any additional requirements specified. (b) Where the requirements specified in the following clauses account for less than the total required credit, candidates must complete additional units of study from the tables relevant to the Bachelor of Engineering as may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of the degree. Requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering For the Bachelor of Engineering component of a combined degree: (a) The units of study that may be taken for the Bachelor of Engineering component of the combined degree are set out in the tables of units of study for the Bachelor of Engineering single degree; (b) Except where approved, all candidates must complete a minimum of 144 credit points comprising: (i) 36cp from the Engineering Core Table, including all required units; (ii) 108cp from the Engineering Stream Core Table pertaining to the specialist stream being undertaken, including all required units; (c) The Faculty Board may approve, based on appropriate academic justification, a list of approved unit alternatives. These alternatives specify, for particular Engineering stream / combined degree combinations, units within the normal requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering component of the combined degree that can be replaced by specified alternative units that would form part of the normal program for single degree students in that stream. Requirements for the Bachelor of Medical Science For the Bachelor of Medical Science component of a combined degree: (a) The units of study that may be taken are listed in Table IV for the Bachelor of Medical Science from the Faculty of Science. (b) The mathematics requirement for the Bachelor of Engineering component of the combined degree will also satisfy the mathematics requirements for the Bachelor of Medical Science component. (c) Candidates must complete 96 credit points of units including: (i) A minimum of 24 credit points from junior Science units of study, including: - 12 credit points from Chemistry; and - MBLG1001/1901/1991 Introductory Molecular Biology and Genetics; and - 6 credit points of Junior Biology; (ii) 48 credit points from intermediate Science units of study, comprising: - 36 credit points of BMED240# units from Table IV (B) for the Bachelor of Medical Science; and - MBLG2#71 Molecular Biology and Genomics; and - MBLG2#72 Genetics and Genomics. (iii) A minimum of 24 credit points of senior Science units of study selected from the Bachelor of Medical Science Table IV (C). Optional Science Major The completion of a Science major through selection of appropriate Senior Science units is possible as part of the Engineering/Medical Science combined degree, but not required. Any student who satisfies the requirements of a Science major through the Science units taken as part of the combined degree shall have that major recorded on the Bachelor of Medical Science testamur at the completion of the degree. Medical Science Honours Honours in Medical Science requires the completion of one additional full time year of study. Admission and award requirements for honours in the Bachelor of Medical Science are listed in the resolutions of the Faculty of Science. Candidates for the award of the Bachelor of Medical Science (Honours) who do not meet the requirements, and who have not already graduated, will be awarded the Bachelor of Medical Science pass degree. Engineering Honours Requirements (a) an EWAM of at least 65 immediately prior to the semester in which a thesis unit of study is first attempted; and (b) have an EIHWAM of at least 65 at the completion of the degree; and (c) complete the requirements within a time limit of 5 years for a single Bachelor of Engineering Honours degree or complete the requirements within a time limit of 6 years for a combined Bachelor of Engineering Honours combined degree. Candidates who satisfy the requirements for the Engineering degree, but who have not satisfied each of Clauses (a), (b) and (c), will qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Engineering degree (i.e. the PASS degree, awarded without Honours).
