Engineering

Consecutive degree BSc/BE

A consecutive degree program leading to a BSc after three years and BE after a further two years is offered by the Faculty of Science together with the Faculty of Engineering.

Areas of study available

Students may specialise in a number of different branches of engineering: chemical engineering; civil engineering; electrical and computer systems engineering; materials engineering; mechanical engineering. Electrical and computer systems engineering has a small quota. Students interested in this area should note that there is also a four-year degree of Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering administered by the Faculty of Engineering.

The following are the science majors which can be combined with the various branches of engineering. Two science majors are usually required in each combination:

* Chemical engineering: chemical engineering science, any other science major.

* Civil engineering: geophysics, any other science major.

* Electrical and computer systems engineering: computer science, applied mathematics, physics, physiology

* Materials engineering: materials science, any other science major.

* Mechanical engineering: physics, mathematics, computer science, materials science, meteorology and oceanography.

The other science majors for chemical, civil and materials engineering are anatomy, biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, geology, geophysics, applied mathematics, mathematical methods, meteorology, mathematical statistics, pure mathematics, materials science, microbiology, pharmacology and toxicology, physics, and physiology.

For details of course structures, see the second schedule to the regulations.
