Program of study notes

1. This Program of Study serves as a suggested study plan. When core topics are offered in both halves of the year, students may enrol in these topics in either half of the year as long as requisites are met

2. Students planning to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Environmental)(Honours) should select the Civil Engineering major. Students planning to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics)(Honours) or the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronics Systems and Security) should select the Electrical and Electronic Engineering major.
Students planning to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Maritime)(Honours) should select the Mechanical Engineering major.

3. Students following the Mechanical Engineering Major may be required to undertake topics in a different sequence due to pre-requisites

4. Students entering with SACE (Year 12) Mathematical Methods may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, substitute the Mathematics Fundamentals topics for alternative topics

5. Students who have completed SACE (Year 12) Physics may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, substitute Physics for the Modern World for an alternative topic
