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 Advice for Bachelor of Engineering Students

• Both PHYS1001 and PHYS1101 satisfy the compulsory first-year physics requirements for BE students.
• PHYS1101 – Physics 1 is the recommended first year physics course for BE students. It is also a compulsory pre-requisite for subsequent Physics courses. It is recommended for BE students who are interested to do more Physics courses as electives.
• PHYS1001 is advised only if you did not complete year 11 and 12 physics.
• PHYS1001 is offered in Semester 1 only. PHYS1101 is offered in both Semester 1 and Semester 2.
• It is possible to do PHYS1001 in Semester 1 then PHYS1101 in Semester 2. In this case, PHYS1001 is counted as a 1000 series elective course.

Computing Advice for Bachelor of Engineering Students

• Both COMP1730 and COMP1100 satisfy the compulsory first-year computing requirements for BE students.
• Both COMP1730 and COMP1100 are offered in S1 and S2.
• COMP1730 Programming for Scientists is recommended for BE students who are looking to do a single computing course to satisfy the degree requirements.
• COMP1100 Programming as Problem Solving is the first of three core computer science courses on programming. It is a compulsory pre-requisite (directly or indirectly) for subsequent computing courses. It is recommended for BE students who are interested to do more Computer Science courses as electives.

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.

Academic Advice

• 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.
