Single degree

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

Double degree

• The Engineering component of the Flexible Double Degree requires a total of 144 units.
  
• 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.
• In the single degree you will have 48 units (eight courses) of university electives. You may use these to do additional engineering courses including an engineering minor or even another engineering major, or you may choose to take other courses of general interest including majors/minors from outside of Engineering. 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, 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. If you study fewer than 18 units per semester you will be considered as part-time.

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

• Note that if you are commencing in July you should send an email to <studentadmin.cecs[at]anu.edu.au> for advice about your enrolment or attend an enrolment advice session at the university in the week before semester commences.
  

MATHS

• If you studied ACT Maths Methods, or are not confident in your Maths ability, 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. These courses are significantly more difficult and will likely mean a higher workload, but they will give you a much deeper understanding of underlying mathematical concepts, which may be beneficial for your future studies. You are encouraged to seriously consider this option. 

PHYSICS

• 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 consider enrolling in in PHYS1001 Foundations in Physics (if you have a free university elective available) prior to enrolling in PHYS1013 Physics of Materials, or taking an intensive online course prior to commencement of your university studies.

COMPUTING

• For your computing courses, you can complete either COMP1100 or COMP1730 and these are available in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.

Majors and Minors

See available majors and minors for this program

There are a number of Engineering 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

Electives

There is one university elective in your first year of study. If you are in a flexible double degree and need to take more than one course from your other degree during first year, you should consider doing COMP1730 in your 2nd year thus freeing up an elective in second semester of first year.
