(2) Students must complete one of the following computing units:²

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 This would normally occur by the end of their second academic year. Students should note that at least one of these units is included in the core of each Bachelor of Engineering program, and should ensure that they select the appropriate unit.

Foundation units

6.2.2A.6(1) Students must complete—

(a) all units in Table 6.2.2Aa (Bachelor of Engineering foundation core units)—36 points

and

(b) two units from Table 6.2.2Ab (Bachelor of Engineering foundation options)—12 points.¹

¹ Students should take into consideration their intended program when choosing foundation options and may seek the approval of the Faculty to substitute for one or both of the units required under 6.2.2A.6(1)(b) units chosen from anywhere in the University, including core units from their chosen program.
