Note: This course version applies only to students first enrolling in 2014.
WARNING: This course version is currently under review and is subject to change.


1. Overview

Course: Flexible First Year (Stream A) / Science (2014)
CP Required: 48
Min FT Duration: 1.00 Years
Min PT Duration: N/A
Faculty/School: University Archive
Years Offered: 2014, 2013, 2012

2. Requirements

Stream A is designed to lead students into the following branches of Engineering : Aeronautical; Aeronautical(Space); Biomedical (all majors except Electrical); Chemical and Biomolecular; Civil; Mechanical and Mechanical(Space).

Students wishing to transfer to Biomedical Engineering or Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering should transfer to that stream in Semester 2.

Students may take advanced alternatives in place of MATH1001 and MATH1002 but should check with the Faculty of Science before doing so.

Students taking Stream A as first stage of combined Engineering/Science degree may take up to 12 credit points of junior science units.

Please consult school advisers so that a correct choice of core and elective is made.

Note: Junior, Intermediate and Senior Science units should be selected so as to ensure that 72 credit points of Science units, including one major, are completed in addition to the units completed as part of the engineering core. Every major requires at least 24 credit points of senior units plus varying amounts of intermediate and junior credit points as prerequisites for the senior units. Please see Science Faculty 2011 handbook for details of specific majors.
