Undergraduate handbook 2005 - Engineering

Professional recognition of courses

The Bachelor of Engineering courses at all campuses, the engineering double-degree courses, the Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering and the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering are all accredited for the purpose of admission to membership of Engineers Australia. Graduates of the Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) are eligible for Affiliate-Technologist membership of Engineers Australia. Of the more recently commenced courses, the Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Technology (Aerospace), the Bachelor of Telecommunications Engineering and the Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure - Design, Construction and Management) have been granted provisional accreditation by Engineers Australia pending first graduations. The Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering has been designed to meet the accreditation requirements of Engineers Australia.
The Engineering Accreditation Council of Malaysia (EAC) and Engineers Australia have accredited the Bachelor of Engineering programs in mechanical and mechatronics engineering offered at the Malaysia campus. The EAC consists of the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM), the Institution of Engineers Malaysia (IEM), Lembaga Akreditasi Negara (LAN) and Jabatan Perkhidmatan Awam Malaysia (JPA). The Bachelor of Engineering program in electrical and computer systems engineering at the Malaysia campus has received provisional accreditation from EAC and Engineers Australia. It is expected to be fully accredited by the end of 2004, with the first cohort of students having completed the program.
The Institution of Chemical Engineers (UK) has accredited the Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical), Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical)/Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical), Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical)/Bachelor of Laws, and Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical) as equivalent to the MEng degree from a recognised UK university.
The Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering) including the engineering double degrees at Clayton, Bachelor of Telecommunications Engineering and Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) are also accredited at the professional level by the Australian Computer Society.

Vacation work/industrial experience

In order to fulfil the requirements of the various degree regulations and Engineers Australia, all engineering students must complete 12 weeks of approved engineering work experience and submit a report on that work. Such work is normally undertaken in the vacations between second and third years and/or between third and fourth years (but may also be taken between first and second years). Students who have completed all academic requirements for their degrees are not eligible to graduate until this work experience has been completed and a satisfactory report submitted.
