2. Requirements

Resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering relating to Civil Engineering (except Project Engineering

Management)

Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering are expected to complete all the core units for the study in the above specialisation

requirements (144 credit points). They are also required to gain at least 18 credit points from the 3rd year Civil recommended elective units of study listed below,

and 18 credit points from fourth year Civil recommended elective units of study listed below. The remaining 12 credit points can be obtained from any of the listed

elective units or from units of study in other Faculties subject to approval from the Director of the Learning and Teaching Civil Engineering.

Candidates commencing one of the combined degree options from 2004 onwards (that is, Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering with either a Bachelor of

Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Medical Science, Bachelor of Laws or Bachelor of Commerce) are required to complete all of the core units of study listed

above (144 credit points), This total of 144 credit points (plus 12 credit points of electives from the list of electives below for combined degrees with Bachelor of

Arts) is only sufficient to be awarded a Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering as part of an approved combined degree program. The remaining credit points

for the combined degree will be taken in the appropriate Faculty (Arts, Science, Law or Economics) and candidates should refer to the Joint Resolutions of the

Faculty of Engineering and the relevant faculty requirements.

Candidates taking a combined degree with Science or Medical Science may count the Science subjects in the Civil Engineering core to their 96 credits points of

Science subjects. Electives from the list below should be taken to complete 144 credit points of Engineering subjects.

Candidates taking a combined degree with Design in Architecture please see the separate Table of core units of study.

To meet specialisation requirements for either Construction Engineering and Management, Structural Engineering, Environmental Engineering or Geotechnical

Engineering, students must enrol in at least 3 electives from the relevant stream listed below and undertake a thesis in a related topic. Students may enrol in a

maximum of 4 electives from the Construction Engineering and Management stream.

Construction Engineering and Management Stream: CIVL3805, CIVL3813, CIVL4810, CIVL4814, CIVL4815.

Structural Engineering Stream: CIVL3235, CIVL5266, CIVL5269, CIVL5458

Environmental Stream: CIVL3613, CIVL4614, CIVL4615, CIVL5351

Geotechnical Engineering Stream: CIVL3411, CIVL5351, CIVL5452, CIVL5458

Most Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science units of study offered by the Faculty of Science can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level

units of study subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met.

Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from the relevant department before enrolling.

Acceptable alternative units of study

The Faculty has prescribed the following acceptable alternatives to core units of study listed in the above specialisation requirements:

GEOL1501 Engineering Geology 1 (6cps), acceptable alternative: GEOL1001 and GEOL1002
