Block 6 - 3000+ level Engineering units (Min CP: 12,Max CP: 12)

Note: Students must take 12 credit points of 3000+ level Engineering electives to complete the total number of credit points for their degree.

Students may take any 3000+ level unit of study offered by the Faculty of Engineering and available to undergraduate students, provided they satisfy any prerequisite, quota, departmental permission or any other requirement of the unit, and the units are not essentially the same or prohibited units for any of the other units in their degree.

Block 7 - 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.

(1) Any units of study from the Faculty of Engineering available to undergraduate students

(2) Any unit of study from Table S available to undergraduate students

Course: Civil Engineering (2022)
CP Required: 192
Min FT Duration: 4.00 Years

Requirements: Summary

In summary the requirements are:

Students must complete 192 credit points as follows:

► 6 credit points of Introductory Computing units table

► 12 credit points of Foundation Mathematics units table

► 30 credit points of Project table

► The Professional Engagement Program (PEP) units comprising ENGP1001 (0cp), ENGP1002 (0cp), ENGP1003 (0cp), ENGP2001 (0cp), ENGP2002 (0cp), ENGP2003 (0cp), ENGP3001 (0cp) and ENGP3002 (0cp)

► 96 credit points of Civil Stream core units

► 30 credit points of Civil Stream elective units

► 12 credit points of 3000+ level Engineering electives

► 6 credit points of Free Electives (Engineering Electives, or a Table S elective)

The completion of a specialisation is not mandatory. 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
