| Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) students must complete ONE of the following two research options: | |||
| ENGG452 | Thesis A | 12 | Annual, Spring 2017/Autumn 2018 |
| Or | |||
| ENGG453 | Thesis B | 18 | Annual, Spring 2017/Autumn 2018 |
| Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Scholar) students must complete ENGG453 | |||
| ENGG453 | Thesis B | 18 | Annual, Spring 2017/Autumn 2018 |
Please note that this double major in Mechanical and Mining Engineering requires students to complete more credit points (cp), that the 240 cp for a standard engineering double major - it will require 246 cp, when students complete ENGG453. Any questions should be directed towards the Academic Program Director.
* 18 credit point thesis is equivalent to the 12 credit point thesis and one 6 credit point elective.
Credit Arrangements
Refer to UOW's credit arrangements for information on how to apply for credit.
Professional Recognition/Accreditation
UOW's engineering programs are accredited by Engineers Australia and relevant world engineering bodies through the Washington Accord. This ensures recognition by equivalent professional engineering bodies in the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Ireland, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries.
UOW is a member of the Group of Eight (G08) Deans of Engineering and Associates, in recognition of being among the top Australian engineering faculties. This achievement is a direct result of our world class reputation in teaching and research.
