Other electives or Honours Project |
# Students must take final Elective (6 points) as overload during 2nd year, Semester 1, 3rd year or 4th year.
** FIT4003 and FIT4013 are honours research projects, available only to students undertaking the honours version of the degree. Entry to these units is by invitation, based upon a weighted average of previous years' results.
Approved course variations of the BSE course structure:
- Approved course variations of the BSE first year course structure are as follows:
- Students requiring other mathematics for an Engineering sequence may replace MAT1830/1841 with approval.
- Students intending to complete a minor or major sequence in sequence in Mathematics within the Faculty of Science should substitute another mathematics unit for MAT1830, with approval.
- Students transferring from other Faculty programs and students entering with advanced standing will be permitted the following course variation:
- FIT1004 Database may be be substituted for FIT2010 Database
- FIT1005 Networks and Data Communications maybe be substituted for FIT2008 Networks and Data Communications
- FIT2002 IT Project Management may be substituted for FIT3086 IT Project Management if taken in second year.
- The BSE degree is subject to the requirement that a maximum of 60 points be obtained at level 1 and a maximum of 60 points be obtained at level 2.
- Students are required to fulfil a 12 week industry placement requirement. Students will be advised to complete this requirement during their summer break between year 3 and year 4 of their course. (IE Aust requirement for accreditation of Professional Engineering courses)
A limited number of units not on the approved elective list may be taken with approval.
