- Students are to select the introduction unit relevant to their stream. Students in both Electrical and Software Engineering streams are to take ELEC1004.
- Students enrolled in the Dalyell Stream may count any Dalyell unit in place of ENGG2112 and may count any Engineering Dalyell unit in place of ENGG3112
- Students are to select the thesis units relevant to their stream. Aeronautical, Mechanical and Mechatronic students are to enrol in the AMME coded units. Students in both Electrical and Software are to enrol in the ELEC coded units.
Block 3 - Professional Engagement Program (PEP) Units
Note:
-Candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering Honours must complete the Professional Engagement Program units of study.
- Candidates must enrol in ENGP1001 in their first semester of study
Block 4 - CBE Stream Core (Min CP: 102,Max CP: 102)

Note:
A minimum of 12 credit points must be taken.
The "Advanced Breadth" and "Advanced Depth" requirements for the Chemical and Biomolecular Stream are based on IChemE curriculum standards for Chemical Engineering degrees accredited at IChemE M Level (Master equivalent). "Breadth" subjects are defined by IChemE as subjects broadly related to Chemical Engineering that are "at an appropriate advanced level" but without prerequisites. Degrees accredited at I-Chem-E M Level must include at least two advanced level Chemical Engineering units in the "Breadth" category as well as two units of "Depth".
Block 7 - CBE Stream Depth Units (Min CP: 12,Max CP: 12)
Note:
A minimum of 12 credit points must be taken.
The "Advanced Breadth" and "Advanced Depth" requirements for the Chemical and Biomolecular Stream are based on IChemE curriculum standards for Chemical Engineering degrees accredited at IChemE M Level (Master equivalent). "Depth" subjects are defined by I-Chem-E as subjects that involve greater knowledge and more challenging outcomes than "Breadth" subjects, and have specific chemical engineering prerequisites. Degrees accredited at I-Chem-E M Level must include at least two advanced level Chemical Engineering units in the "Depth" category as well as two units of "Breadth".
Block 8 - Free Electives (Max CP: 6)
Note:
Students may take 6 credit points of free electives to complete the total number of credit points for their degree. Students may take the following units of study as free 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.

If a student chooses to do a specialisation, it must be completed within the 192 credit points described above. 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. 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/ |
