Program Structure192 Units of Credit:
Students must complete 192 UOC as a standalone program.
The program requires students to complete:
- 192 UOC plus at least 60 days of approved Industrial Training experience
- At least 48 UOC Disciplinary Knowledge and Enquiry-based Courses
- 30-42UOC Introductory Knowledge core courses
- At least 12 UOC of elective courses
- The balance of the program to consist of Foundation Disciplinary Knowledge Courses
- At least 6 UOC of Engineering and Technical Management core (Foundational Disciplinary or Disciplinary Level)
The design rules above ensure students in the program meet the requirements for research-based learning requirement. Students will develop skills in undertaking enquiry-based learning within the mandated minimum 24 UOC of enquiry-based learning and will plan and execute supervised thesis research projects as part of the final year thesis courses.

Marking of written report
Thesis marks should be provided by the two assessors independently, without collusion or knowledge of the other mark.
- For any mark difference less than or equal to 10 marks, the unweighted average.
- For any mark difference of 11-15 marks, the Thesis Coordinator discusses with the two markers about why they gave their marks and assists the two markers to come to an agreement on a final mark.
- For any mark difference greater than 15 marks, and third assessor must be used. An unweighted average of the three marks will be used.
- If the situation arises that one mark is invalid, the Thesis Coordinator has the discretion to eliminate that mark and average the other two (if they fail within the 10 mark difference).
