ENGG454 Professional Experience 0Annual, Autumn, Spring
Students must complete ONE of the following two subjects:
ENGG452 Thesis A 12Annual, Spring 2018/Autumn 2019
OR
ENGG453 Thesis B* 18Annual, Spring 2018/Autumn 2019
Plus, for students in ENGG452: ONE elective from List A of the Mining or Environmental Engineering elective subjects.

Please note that this double major in Mining and Environmental Engineering requires students to complete more credit points (cp) than the 240cp for a standard engineering double major, 246 cp, when students complete ENGG453. Any questions should be directed towards the Academic Program Director.

* The 18 credit point thesis is equivalent to the 12 credit point thesis and one 6 credit point List A elective.

Students should also review current subject availabilities via the Subject Descriptions link in the menu.

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.
