Complete a minimum of 36cp including:
- ENGP1000 (0cp), ENGP2000 (0cp) and ENGP3000 (0cp)
- Exactly 12cp of Integrated Engineering units comprising ENGG1111 (6cp), ENGG2111 (2cp), ENGG3111 (2cp) and ENGG4111 (2cp)
- Exactly 12cp of MATH1xxx units: MATH1021 Calculus of One Variable (3cp) AND MATH1002 Linear Algebra (3cp) AND MATH1023 Multivariable Calculus and Modelling (3cp) AND MATH1005 Statistics (3cp)
- A minimum of 12cp of (see note 1) from either AMME4111-4112 Thesis A & B (6cp+6cp) OR CHNG4811-CHNG4812 Thesis A & B (6cp+6cp) OR CIVL4022-4023 Thesis A & B (6cp+6cp) OR ELEC4712-4713 Thesis A & B (6cp+6cp) OR AMME4010 Major Industrial Project (24cp) OR CHNG4203 Major Industrial Project (24cp) OR ELEC4714 Major Industrial Project (24cp)
Note 1. All Thesis A units are mutually prohibited (meaning that only one can be completed), and all Thesis B units have the associated Thesis A unit as a pre-requisite. Students may undertake only the Thesis units relevant to their stream or major.
Block 2 - CBE Core (Min CP: 108,Max CP: 108)

Note:
Students may take 12 credit points of free general electives to complete the total number of credit points for their degree. Students may take the following units of study as free general electives, provided they satisfy any prerequisite, quota, departmental permission or any other requirements of the units, and the units are not essentially the same or prohibited units for any of the other units in their degree.

| Requirements: | Summary In summary the requirements are: Students must complete 192 credit points as follows: ► 36 credit points of Engineering core units ► The Professional Engagement Program comprising ENGP1000 (0cp), ENGP2000 (0cp) and ENGP3000 (0cp) ► 108 credit points of Chemical stream core units ► A minimum of 6 credit points of Chemical Specialist Fundamental units ► A minimum of 12 credit points of Chemical Specialist Breadth units ► A minimum of 12 credit points of Chemical Specialist Depth units ► A maximum of 12 credit points of General (Free) Electives The completion of a major is not necessary. If a student chooses to do a major, aligned majors can be completed within the 192 credit points described above. Handbook Rules The handbook rules governing this degree are as follows: To qualify for the award of the Bachelor of Engineering Honours degree, a candidate must: (a) successfully complete 192 credit points comprising: (i) A minimum of 36 credit points from the Engineering Core Table, including all required units; (ii) A minimum of 108 credit points from the Engineering Stream Table pertaining to the specialist stream being undertaken, including all required units; (iii) A minimum of 48 credit points of additional units from the Engineering Stream Specialist Table pertaining to the specialist stream being undertaken, including satisfying any additional requirements specified for the Specialist Table. (b) Successfully complete the requirements of the Professional Engagement Program (2) The class of Honours will be determined by the EIHWAM. (3) In exceptional circumstances, the Dean may vary the conditions for the award of Honours after seeking the advice of the relevant Head of School. Advanced units in Maths and Science Most units of study offered by the Science Faculty on the list of core requirements can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level unit; subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from their department before enrolling. Study Abroad Students undertaking Study Abroad in a particular year of their degree must enrol in the appropriate International Exchange Program units of study as an alternative to a semester's standard units. Permission from the relevant Head of School must be sought prior to enrolling in exchange units of study. Majors A major requires: (a) the completion of 48 credit points chosen from units of study listed in the table for that major; (b) satisfying any additional requirements specified for the major, and listed with the table of units for the major; Dalyell Scholars Program Unit substitutions may be available for students enrolled in the Dalyell Scholars Program, depending on their year of commencement and degree. Dalyell Scholars can view the Canvas page for further information specific to their circumstances: https://canvas.sydney.edu.au/courses/7156/pages/enrolment-options-for-dalyell-scholars Faculty Resolutions Details of relevant Faculty resolutions are available via the university handbook site at: http://sydney.edu.au/handbooks/ |
