Introduction

This handbook provides information on courses of study offered by the Faculty of Engineering, atboth undergraduate and graduate levels, together with descriptions of subjects available and areasin which research may be undertaken.

The Faculty consists of the Schools of Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering,Electrical Engineering, Geomatic Engineering, and Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. Italso has two graduate schools, the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering and the GraduateSchool of Engineering and a number of faculty centres. Furthermore, the Faculty Is actively involved

with seven Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs).

The Faculty is dedicated to the achievement of excellence in scholarship, teaching and researchin technology and its application for the benefit of the community. Schools within the Faculty offerundergraduate courses leading to the award of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (BE). Thereare also a number of combined degree courses available which lead to the award of two degrees,as well as a concurrent degree program leading to the award of a bachelor and masters degree. Through its schools and centres, the Faculty offers an active graduate program through formalgraduate courses both at degree and graduate diploma level, and research degrees.

The Faculty has a commitment to developing in students the technical, scientific and creative skills

required to solve all aspects of engineering problems, and to direct and manage engineeringactiv'rties. Critical to this Is an understanding of human interaction with the environment so that the

Handbook Guide

This handbook is divided into separate sections for each School/Unit, identified by a four-letter

code (e.g. CIVL, School of Civil Engineering). This code appears on the top right corner ofeach page relating to the School/Unit. Each School/Unit section is divided into Undergraduateand Graduate Study and includes course outlines and subject descriptions.

Read the opening sections of the handbook first, and then read the information containedunder Summary of Courses (Undergraduate or Graduate as appropriate). These sectionscover all degrees and diplomas offered by the Faculty. Detailed information on each subjectthen appears under Subject Descriptions, which Includes session/s offered, pre/corequisitedetails, class hours, credit point value, etc.

You will find that almost any course of study you wish to undertake has subjects from other

Schools, and even other Faculties. This means that in your engineering course, subjects are listedfrom other Schools in the Faculty of Engineering, each with their own identifying code, as well asfrom the School in which you are planning to do a course. If, for example, this is Mechanical andManufacturing Engineering (MECH), all the subjects for Mechanical and ManufacturingEngineering are described in the section for that School. As Mechanical and ManufacturingEngineering also includes Aerospace Engineering (AERO), Manufacturing Management (MANF)and Naval Architecture (NAVL) these subjects are also included with the School. If they areElectrical Engineeering (ELEC), Computer Science and Engineering (COMP), Civil Engineering(CIVL) or Geomatic Engineering (GMAT) subjects, then descriptions for these subjects will be

located in the appropriate School section which has that particular identifying number. Any subject which is not an Engineering subject (i.e. a subject offered by another Faculty, but

SUMMARY OF COURSES 23


31/250

Formal advanced standing procedures apply for entry intothe following Bachelor of Engineering (BE) courses at theUniversity of New South Wales with full credit.

B E in Aerosp ace Engineer ing

Students who satisfy the requirements of the first two yearsof the Mechanical Engineering full-time degree course atany other Australian university may be admitted to atwo-year program leading to the Bachelor of Engineeringdegree in Aerospace Engineering (years 1 and 2 of thiscourse are identical with the first two years of the course inMechanical Engineering).

B E in Navai Arci i i tectureStudents who satisfy the requirements of the first two yearsof the Mechanical Engineering full-time degree course atany other Australian university may be admitted to the finaltwo years of the Bachelor of Engineering degree course inNaval Architecture. (Years 1 and 2 of this course areidentical with the first two years of the course in MechanicalEngineering.)

minimum number of years. Students are not permitted toenrol in subjects witti clashing timetables.

2. Students must satisfy the rules governing re-enrolment:in particular, these require students enrolled in the Year 1of a degree program to pass in at least half that program.

Students are also required to show cause why they shouldbe allowed to repeat a subject which has been failed morethan once. Students are also required to show cause whythey should be allowed to continue with their course If theiraverage mark in a year of study falls below 50%.

3. Students must satisfy the relevant prerequisite andcorequisite requirements. This will usually necessitatestudents completing or attempting all subjects of aparticular year or stage before proceeding to a subject in

the next part of a course. Further details are available fromthe appropriate school.

4. Only in exceptional circumstances will students bepermitted to enrol in subjects extending over more than twoyears of the course or for more than twenty-eight hours ofcourse work per week if a full-time student or fourteen hoursper week if a part-time student. Students repeating subjectsare required to choose a program which limits their hoursof course work to twenty-two per week if a full-time student,and to eleven per week if a part-time student, unless theyhave the express permission of the Head of School toexceed these hours. Previously failed subjects must beincluded, except that a failed elective may be replaced byanother elective.

5. Notwithstanding the above, before students can enrol inany non-standard program such program must meet withthe approval of the Head of School. A non-standardprogram is one which involves enrolment in subjects frommore than one year or stage, or comprises subjects which

do not normally constitute a particular year's course work.

Prerequisites and Corequisites

A prerequisite unit Is one which must be completed priorto enrolment in the unit for which it is prescribed.

A corequisite unit is one which must either be completedsuccessfully before or be studied concurrently with theunit for which it is prescribed.

Industrial Experience Requirements

All students must complete at least 60 working days ofapproved industrial experience (or professional practice inthe case of Geomatic Engineering students) prior toenrolment in the final year of their course. The award of thedegree is dependent on the completion of the requisiteperiods of industrial employment at a standard approvedby the University.

Students enrolled in Bachelor of Engineering courses in theSchools of Civil Engineering, Computer Science and

Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical andManufacturing Engineering are required to enrol inIndustrial Training subjects. Geomatic Engineeringstudents enrol in a professional practice subject. Schools'entries under Course Outlines and Subject Descriptionsshould be consulted for details of subject requirements.

Computing Requirements

General Education Program

UNSW requires that all undergraduate students undertakea structured program in general education as an integral

part of studies for their degree. The University believes thata General Education complements the more specialisedlearning undertaken in a student's chosen field of study andcontributes to the flexibility which graduates areincreasingly required to demonstrate. Employersrepeatedly point to the complex nature of the modern workenvironment and advise that they highly value graduateswith the skills provided by a broad general education, aswell as the specialised knowledge provided in morenarrowly defined degree programs. As well, over many

years graduates of this University have reported that theygreatly valued their General Education studies, which arefound to be relevant to both career and personaldevelopment.

The General Education Program at UNSW intends tobroaden students' understanding of the environment inwhich they live and work and to enhance their skills ofcritical analysis.

Objectives of the General Education Program

The following objectives were approved by the Council ofthe University in December 1994.

1. To provide a learning environment in which studentsacquire, develop, and deploy skills of rational thought andcritical analysis.

2. To enable students to evaluate arguments andinformation.

3. To empower students to systematically challengei d di i f k l d b li f d l



33/250

General Education Requirements

The basic General Education requirements are the samefor students in all single degree courses. Over the courseof a degree program students:

• satisfactorily complete a minimum of 30 credit points ofstudy in General Education subjects or their equivalent;

• undertake an additional fifty-six (56) hours of study which

ensures that students examine the purposes andconsequences of their education and experience atuniversity, and fosters acceptance of professional andethical action and social responsibility. This fifty-sixhours of study may be distributed throughout the course,or exist as a separate subject, depending on the course.

Because the objectives of General Education requirestudents to explore discipline and paradigm bases other

than those of their professional or major disciplinaryspecialisation, all students are excluded from countingsubj ects toward the fulf ilment of the General Educ ationrequirement, which are similar In content or approachto subjects required In their course.

Facuity Requirements

Each Faculty has responsibility for deciding what subjects

are nof able to be counted towards the General Education

requirement for their students. The Faculty of Engineering

is committed to providing the widest range of choice of

general education electives for its students. It strongly

encourages students to make the best use of this flexibility.

In general, the only restrictions, apart from the usual need

for prerequ isite knowledge, on the choice of subjects is that,

in all but exceptional circumstances, students may not take

subjects offered by the Faculty of Engineering, or by

From the summer session of 1995-96, students will be

required to satisfy the unfilled portion of their General

Education requirement under the terms of the new

Program.

The exemption of General Education requirements for

some double or combined degree programs will continueto apply for students who enrolled in these exempt courses

prior to 1996.

Conditions for the Award of the

Degree of Bachelor of Engineering1. A candidate for the award of the degree of Bachelor ofEngineering shall:

(1) comply with the requirements for admission;

(2) follow the prescribed course of study in the appropriateSchool, and satisfy the examiners in the necessary

subjects;

(3) complete an approved program of industrial training(professional practice in the case of Geomatic Engineeringcandidates) for such periods as are prescribed. In general,this training must be completed before 31 January in the

year in which the degree is to be awarded.

2. During each year a student shall perform laboratory,drawing office and field work, attend demonstrations andexcursions to such an extent and in such a manner as isprescribed from time to time by the Academic Board on therecommendation of the Faculty. Those students who are

required to undertake field work for any subject must bed t th i t t d b i tt d

Similarly, students not wishing to complete the BSc degree

course may revert to the Civil Engineering program (3620)

with appropriate credit for subjects satisfactorily completed.

The combined course consists of the Civil Engineering

program (3620), and at least fourteen units of the Science

and Mathematics Course (3970) within an approved

program.

There are three approved programs but additional onesmay be approved if they are relevant. Approval may be

given to change the programs listed below to allow fortimetabling and the student's academic interests.

Although transfer from Course 3620 to Course 3730 is

normally made at the end of Year 1, first year students whoare considering to apply for transfer should note the

requirements for PHYS1002 Physics 1 in the second

program.

The prerequisite CHEM1002 for Year 2 Chemistry subjectswill be waived for students in Course 3730.

Approved Programs

These programs will be affected by course revisions to3620. Please consult the School of Civil Engineering foradvice.
