Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) students must complete ONE of the following two research options: | |||
ENGG452 | Thesis A | 12 | Annual, Spring 2018/Autumn 2019 |
Or | |||
ENGG453 | Thesis B | 18 | Annual, Spring 2018/Autumn 2019 |
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Scholar) students must complete ENGG453 | |||
ENGG453 | Thesis B | 18 | Annual, Spring 2018/Autumn 2019 |
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.
