Notes

  1. Students should select topics that are consistent with the specialisation they are planning to select.
  2. ENGR2703 Mechanical Practice Certificate is taught intensively outside of the normal teaching periods. Students must ensure that they are available for this topic.
  3. Variations to these programs of study that are consistent with the specialisations may be agreed with the Course Coordinator. Such variations might, for example, be consistent with one of Flinders University's Bachelor of Engineering awards.

Combined degrees

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology may also be studied in a combined degree program with another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy.

Entry requirements

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements. Successful completion of any of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics, Mathematical Studies or Mathematical Methods with a minimum grade of C- or better (or equivalent) is normally required for entry to the Bachelor of Engineering Technology. Knowledge of Physics equivalent to SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed.

For students who do not have Year 12 Mathematics or Physics, or those planning to undertake a stream of topics oriented towards civil engineering, a Bachelor of Engineering Science is available.
