3. Semesters

Year 1 - Semester 1

Type CP CP From
3 Select from MATH1021: Calculus of One Variable
6 Select from ENGG1801: Engineering Computing


Note: INFO1110 may be substituted for students strongly considering Electrical Engineering or Software Engineering upon enrolment.
6 Select from ENGG1800: Introduction to Engineering A
6 Select from ENGG1111: Integrated Engineering 1
3 Select from MATH1002: Linear Algebra
0 Select from ENGP1000: Professional Engagement Program 1


Note: All students must enrol in ENGP1000 in their first semester of enrolment.

New ENGP units will be in place from 2021. You can find more information at https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/2806/pages/professional-engagement-program-pep-2021-changes

Note: MATH1021 and MATH1002 may be replaced by advanced units MATH1921 and MATH1902.

Students enrolled in a combined degree should replace ENGG1801 with 6 credit points from their second degree.

Students choose a stream of engineering to undertake at the end of Semester 1. In semester 2 they then follow the program for that particular engineering stream.

Year 1 - Semester 2

Type CP CP From
6 Select from ENGF1663: Flexible First Year Enrolment 3
6 Select from ENGF1662: Flexible First Year Enrolment 2
6 Select from ENGF1661: Flexible First Year Enrolment 1
3 Select from MATH1023: Multivariable Calculus and Modelling
3 Select from MATH1005: Statistical Thinking with Data

Note: MATH1023 and MATH1005 may be replaced by advanced units MATH1923 and MATH1905.

Students enrolled in a combined degree should replace ENGF1663 with 6 credit points from their second degree.

This semester's units should only be used as a temporary enrolment. At the end of Semester 1 you should select your stream and change your unit selection to the appropriate units for that stream. Note that the MATH units should be taken regardless of which stream is selected.

Students in the combined BCom take MATH1004 in place of MATH1005, as the Statistics content is covered in BCom core unit BUSS1020.
