Applicability of the general provisions

11.1.26.1 The general provisions in 11.1.1 apply to the course.

Course structure

11.1.26.2(1) The combined course for the degrees of Bachelor of Computer Science and Bachelor of Engineering consists of—

(a) units to a total value of 240 points;

and

(b) 16 weeks’ practical experience (GENG4020 Professional Practicum¹) in an engineering-related workplace approved by the Faculty.²

(2) The Faculty may, on written application by a student and on production of satisfactory evidence, accept work completed by the student prior to acceptance into the course as fulfilling the requirements of (1)(b) and (4).

(3) In exceptional circumstances, the Faculty may vary the requirements for practical experience if satisfied that such practical experience cannot be obtained or undertaken.

(4) Students must submit two copies, one for each component of the combined course, of a report on work completed for the practical experience (GENG4020 Professional Practicum¹) required under (1)(b) or on work accepted by the Faculty under (2) as fulfilling the requirements of (1)(b), and a Certificate of Practical Work Performed (available on the Faculty’s website).

¹ Students do not enrol in the Professional Practicum units. Upon successful completion, the appropriate unit will be added to their enrolment and the result released together with the results for the other enrolled units for the semester.

² Students are required to make their own arrangements for practical experience but, to facilitate their efforts, they should seek advice from members of the Faculty and register with the Careers Centre.
