Overview

The School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications offers a five year integrated degree program (240 UOC) leading to a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Master of Engineering (BE ME) in Electrical Engineering. The program includes a compulsory 24 UOC minor in a discipline outside the area of electrical engineering and … For more content click the Read More button below. The program outcomes are achieved through the learning outcomes of all courses including project work, electives and compulsory and relevant industrial training within the BE ME integrated degree program. The 5-year BE ME structure is designed such that at graduation, students would be expected to have desired skills competency, such as creative problem solving, innovative design, capacity for analytical and critical thinking, independent in reflective learning, in-depth discipline specific knowledge, good communication skills, professional attitude and ethical practice, and teamwork.

Program Requirements

Compulsory Training Component

A requirement for the program is the completion of 60 days of industrial experience in the relevant discipline, preferably in Australia. Students who have already completed such industrial experience may be granted an exemption.

Progression Requirements

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Progression Requirements:

Students must make satisfactory progress while studying in the BE (Hons) program. Students may be excluded from the program if any of the following occur:

  • Fail a core course 2 or more times
  • Fail more than half of the courses attempted, after completing 84 UOC or more of the BE(Hons) major
  • Have an overall WAM less than 50.000 with 48 UOC or more of your BE(Hons) remaining

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) / Master of Electrical Engineering Requirements:

In addition to the above BE(Hons) program requirements, students must perform at a credit average (65 CR) for the first three years to remain in the dual degree and continue into the Masters of Electrical Engineering. Students who do not meet this requirement may be transferred into the single BE(Hons) degree
