Block 2 - Arts (Min CP: 84,Max CP: 84)
Note: For the Bachelor of Arts component, students are required to complete a total of 84 credit points of units as listed in the handbook of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, including a major and a minimum 54 credit points of 2000/3000 level units of study. http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/arts/
Course: | Civil / Arts (2022 and earlier) (2015) |
CP Required: | 240 |
Min FT Duration: | 5.00 Years |
Min PT Duration: | N/A |
Faculty/School: | Faculty of Engineering |
Years Offered: | 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 |
Requirements: | This course outline should be read in conjunction with the Handbook for the Bachelor of Engineering: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/engineering/ To qualify for the award of a combined Civil Engineering/Arts degree a candidate must complete units of study to a total value of at least 240 credit points including: (a) 144 credit points of CORE Civil units, and (b) 84 credit points of units of study given by the Faculty of Arts for the BE/BA, with at least 54 credit points at 2nd or 3rd year level, and the completion of an Arts major, as outlined in Subject Areas of the Arts Handbook: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/arts/ and (c) 12 credit points of Civil Engineering Elective units. Candidates are required to achieve a minimum academic level as described in the Engineering Handbook: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/engineering/ . Students not meeting this requirement will be awarded the PASS degree Bachelor of Engineering. Civil Engineering Specialisation Specialisation in the BE (Civil) degree is available to exceptional students who meet certain progress requirements. To satisfy the specialisation criteria students must be enrolled in a specialisation stream and complete at least 3 electives from the relevant specialisation listed below and undertake an Honours Thesis or Engineering Project in a related topic: (i) Structures Specialisation: CIVL3235; CIVL5266; CIVL5269; CIVL5458 (ii) Environmental Specialisation: CIVL3614; CIVL5351; CIVL5668; CIVL5670 (iii) Geotechnical Specialisation: CIVL3411; CIVL5351; CIVL5452; CIVL5458. (CIVL5453 will replace CIVL5452 in 2015) (iv) Construction Management Specialisation: CIVL3805, CIVL4815, CIVL3813, CIVL4810 and CIVL4814 Students cannot do more than four units from the Construction Management stream, even as a free elective. CIVL3813 is a 4th year elective, not 3rd year. In order to satisfy the requirements for specialisation the candidate may need to complete more than 240 credit points. Additional Electives There are no general electives in this degree. The 12 cp of additional electives must be Civil subjects. Additional electives can be obtained from any of the Second Year, Third Year or Fourth Year Civil electives. Choice of electives will depend upon subject availability, timetabling and prerequisite conditions. Other Notes Students in the Honours program must enrol in CIVL4022 & CIVL4023; students in the Pass Program must enrol in CIVL4024 & CIVL4025. With special permission from the Director of Undergraduate Studies Civil Engineering it is possible to take Thesis or Project A in Semester 2 and Thesis or Project B in Semester 1. 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. |
