Honours

Students must formally enrol in ENGN4100 Engineering Honours at the commencement of their intended final semester.

Back to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) page

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (BE) is a unique and exciting degree that is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia. The degree encompasses a technical major along with an interdisciplinary systems engineering approach. The degree can be taken as a four year single degree in which students complete a major in an engineering discipline.

The BE can also be taken as a a five year double degrees. You will still complete an engineering major but you can also specialise in other areas as part of the ‘other half’ of your double degree.

No choice of major is required until later in 2nd year with all students undertaking the same courses in their first year.



Single degree

  • This degree rquires a total of 192 units.
  • You will complete one Engineering major of 48 units.
  • 36 units of university electives. These can be additional Engineering courses (including the option of a minor) or courses from another ANU College.






Double degree

  • This degree requires a total of 144 units  with an additional 12 units counting towards both Engineering and the other half of your degree. The Engineering double degree program requirements outline which courses are double counted.
  • You will complete one Engineering major of 48 units.
  • There are no university electives available in a double degree.





About this degree

  • Typically students will enrol in 24 units per semester. This is four, six unit courses per semester. There are some variations in your later years with double weighted (12 unit) courses.
  • A major is typically 48 units of courses and a minor is 24 units. You will need to complete at least one Engineering major in your degree. Engineering has more compulsory courses than many other degrees due to its professional requirements.
  • In the single degree you will have 36 units (six courses) of university electives. You may use these to do additional engineering courses including an engineering minor or you may choose to take other courses of general interest.  You should note that you can only do a maximum of 60 units of 1000 level courses.
  • In the double degree, you have no electives - your other degree requirements use up all of these.

Enrolment Status

While it's possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, which is called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must always be full-time.

Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

  • IF YOU ARE COMMENCING IN JULY YOU SHOULD SEND AN EMAIL TO <studentadmin.cecs@anu.edu.au> FOR ADVICE ABOUT YOUR ENROLMENT OR YOU SHOULD ATTEND AN ENROLMENT ADVICE SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THE WEEK BEFORE SEMESTER COMMENCES.

  • If you studied ACT Maths Methods, or are not confident in your Maths ability, please please FOLLOW THE ADVICE HERE
  • Students who excel in maths and have done the highest level of maths available to them at school should read the following: You may choose to enrol in MATH1115 and MATH1116 (honours maths) in place of MATH1013 and MATH1014. There is no particular advantage to doing this, and there is additional workload, but students who are passionate and talented may like to choose this option.
  • Students who have not taken Physics in Year 11 and 12 should read the following: If you have ­not undertaken Physics in Year 11 and 12, you should enrol in PHYS1001 Foundations in Physics in place of PHYS1101 Advanced Physics. You will not need to complete PHYS1101. :

  • You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.
  • You can’t study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year.
  • Remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards the Engineering half of the double degree.



Majors and Minors

See available majors and minors for this program

There are a number of Engineeirng majors and minors for you to choose from. The good news is that you do not need to make any decisions about these until after first year. Just follow the first year enrolment pattern for single and double degrees. If you want more information about majors and minors you can have a look at the Bachelor of Engineering Degree Requirements in the 'Programs and Courses' website

Enrolment Status

While it's possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, which is called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must always be full-time.

Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

When you enrol for the first time you will study ‘1000-level’ courses. These courses have ‘1’ as the first number in their course code, such as ASIA1234.

You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester. You can’t study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year. You need to enrol in courses to meet the requirements of the program, including ASIA1025, ASIA1030, courses for the language requirement and electives. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree program.

Majors and Minors

See available majors and minors for this program

While you only need to enrol in courses to complete the requirements of your degree, you can use your core and compulsory courses to enrol in 1000-level courses for a major or minor. That way you keep your options open. Once you've selected courses for a major, and/or a minor or second major, you should choose electives to make up the balance of your courses.

Electives

While you only need to enrol in courses to complete the requirements of your degree, you can use your elective courses to enrol in 1000-level courses for a major or minor. That way you keep your options open. Once you've selected courses for a major, and/or a minor or second major, you should choose electives to make up the balance of your courses.
To find 1000-level courses, search Programs and Courses. Remember you can choose up to 8 courses from another ANU College at the University if you are undertaking the single Bachelor of Asian Studies program.
