Note:  BUSS3500, senior capstone unit for the Commerce component of the combined degree, has been discontinued and will be available for the last time in an intensive February session in 2017. If you have not completed the unit by this time, you must select an additional senior Commerce elective to replace it.

BUSS3500 is the senior capstone unit for the Commerce component of the combined degree since 2011. Combined degree students who commenced study in 2010 or earlier should take BUSS3500 in place of ECOF3001 Business Strategy, the capstone unit for the old pre-2011 Bachelor of Commerce. Combined degree students who began study before 2011 and are having difficulty enrolling in BUSS3500 should seek assistance from the Engineering & IT student office on Level 3 of the Peter Nicol Russell Building (PNR).

Students intending to complete a major in Business Analytics require the following units.

(1) One prerequisite junior unit of study (6 credit points): BUSS1020. Engineering/Commerce students are exempted from BUSS1020 once they have completed Engineering core unit MATH1005 and one other MATH unit.

(2) Two compulsory senior units of study (12 credit points): QBUS2310,QBUS2810.

(3) A minimum of 24 credit points from the senior elective units list (minimum of four units), with at least 12 credit points (two units) at 3000-level.

Note that a number of the QBUS units are replacements for previous ECMT units. See Business School website for equivalences between new QBUS units and previous ECMT units at http://sydney.edu.au/business/currentstudents/undergraduate/curriculum_information/undergraduate_courses/changes_to_undergraduate_programs

Requirements: To be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Commerce combined degree, students must complete units of study with a total value of 240 credit points, comprising units of study required for the Bachelor of Engineering’s specialisation and a minimum of 96 credit points in units of study from the Faculty of Economics and Business. The 96 credit points from the Faculty of Economics and Business must include:

• core Bachelor of Commerce units as set out in the Faculty of Economics and Business handbook.

• a major selected from the `Bachelor of Commerce subject areas for majors and electives`

• a minimum of 48 credit points in senior (2000 and 3000 level) units of study)

Alternative Maths and Physics units

The Mathematics and Physics core units of study may be replaced by equivalent advanced level units of study (if available) subject to prerequisite conditions being met.

Civil Engineering Specialisations

Specialist Civil Engineering streams (Structures, Geotechnical, Construction Management, or Environmental) require additional units (listed below) outside those specified for Civil Engineering combined degrees. In order to finish a combined degree with a stream, students may need to go beyond usual total of 240 credit points.

The specialist Civil Engineering streams are available to exceptional students who meet certain progress requirements. To satisfy the specialisation criteria students must be enrolled in the 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

(iv) Construction Management Specialisation: CIVL3805, CIVL4815, CIVL3813, CIVL4810 and CIVL4814 Students cannot do more than four units from the Construction Engineering and Management stream, even as a free elective. CIVL3813 is a 4th year elective, not 3rd year.

Decisions on whether or not to proceed with a specialisation may be left until second or third year as the required electives are usually taken in the last two years of the degree.

Engineering Final Year

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.

This course outline should be read in conjunction with the Handbook for the Bachelor of Engineering: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/engineering/
