Progression
|
Course progression requisites |
Where there is overlap between the core subjects from the two chosen majors, candidates are required to contact the faculty office to add substitute subjects to their study plans. It is strongly recommended that in this situation candidates take extra engineering subjects as listed under the corresponding major in the Bachelor of Engineering degree. |
|
Course includes mandatory professional placement(s) |
No |
|
Special assessment requirements |
The engineering thesis topic must be specific to the candidate’s chosen engineering major. |

Advanced Standing
|
Eligibility |
Candidates may apply for advanced standing for previous tertiary study in accordance with the Advanced Standing for Previous Studies and Recognised Prior Learning policy associated procedures. |
|
Maximum allowed |
48 credit points |
|
Currency |
Advanced standing will be granted only for studies completed in the 10 years prior to the commencement of this course. |
|
Expiry |
Advanced standing gained for any subject shall be cancelled 10 years after the date of the examination upon which the advanced standing is based if, by then, the candidate has not completed the course of study prescribed for the degree. |
|
Other restrictions |
A minimum of 18 credit points of engineering subjects (including 6 credit points of fourth year thesis) should be completed at James Cook University for each of levels 3 and 4. If the candidate requests advanced standing approaching this maximum level, then the advanced standing should be predominantly from the first two levels of the Bachelor of Engineering program. |

Honours
|
Honours availability |
Honours is available in either or both disciplines. Engineering honours is available in-course. Science honours requires an extra 24 credit points of study. |
|
Eligibility |
Engineering Honours The Engineering Board of Studies will invite selected candidates to enter the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours program at the beginning of their final year of study. Selections will be based on the weighted Grade Point Average from the first three levels of their engineering study. Weighted average GPA = (1 x level 1 GPA + 2 x level 2 GPA + 3 x level 3 GPA)/6. Candidates anticipating First Class Honours must pursue a thesis with a significant research component. Science Honours Normally a minimum average grade of Credit is required in the pass degree subjects relevant to the field in which Science honours is to be taken. |
