#With the permission of the Course Coordinator students may enrol in any other relevant topics where prerequisites are satisfied

** With the permission of the Course Coordinator eligible students may enrol in Advanced Studies for Engineering

1. With the permission of the Course Coordinator students may undertake ENGR9405 Engineering Work Experience (4.5 units) plus 9 units of upper-level topics in place of ENGR3700 Engineering Practicum or ENGR3710 International Engineering Practicum. ENGR9405 may be taken any time after the student has completed 63 units. Please see the topic coordinator for further details. Upper-level topics must be selected from COMP, ENGR, MATH and STAT topics at 2000-level and above.

2.ENGR3710 International Engineering Practicum should be selected by those students intending to undertake their Practicum outside of Australia. Enrolment is subject to approval by the College which will consider the quality and appropriateness of the placement.

3. Students must undertake the Masters Thesis topics over a minimum of two semesters.

4. The honours grade for the Bachelor degree is awarded at the end of the combined degree and is determined in accordance with the University's Assessment Policy and Procedures and is calculated from the Weighted Average Mark of all topics at level 7000 and above taken as part of the degree as follows:

85 ≤ WAM - Honours First Class (H1) 75 ≤ WAM < 85 - Honours Second Class Division A (H2A) 65 ≤ WAM < 75 - Honours Second Class Division B (H2B) 50 ≤ WAM < 65 - Honours Third Class (H3)

Where a student has satisfied all requirements for the course but has achieved a WAM of less than 50, the WAM will be deemed 50 for the purposes of calculating the honours classification.

Combined degrees

The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics) (Honours), Master of Engineering (Electronics) may also be studied in a combined degrees program with another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy.

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements.

Successful completion of either SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required for entry. Knowledge of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed

On completion of the award, students will be able to:

• competently use Professional Skills and knowledge in the systematic development of complex Robotic Systems
• demonstrate a strong and broad understanding of the robotic and electronic enginerring disciplines and a deeper understanding of some areas of robotic and electronic engineering
