THE DEAN'S FOREWORD

On behalf of the staff of the Faculty of Engineering, I wish to extend a very warm welcome to all students - those who are entering the University and the Faculty for the first time and those who are returning to commence another year of studies. Having chosen to study in one of the fields of Engineering or in Surveying, we believe you are embarking on a professional career which is bnth challenging and stimulating. It is clear we are living in a technological age - an age which has seen a tremendous burst of scientific and technological development and which has had a marked effect on the modes and characteristics of our society. It is also clear that the future of our society is very much dependent on the solution of a number of very complex technological problems, such as those associated with the development of alternative forms of energy and the preservation of our living environment. Graduates in the various professions of Engineering and Surveying will, in their own way, be required to contribute to the solution of these problems. The role of universities in modem society is a changed one. Not only is it necessary to preserve the ideals of learning and associated fundamental research, it has become equally important for universities to become increasingly involved in the advancement of science and technology necessary for modern industrial and economic development. In this respect the role of the University Engineering Faculty in applied and industrially orientated research is an important one. The Faculty of Engineering through its research and associated projects undertaken on behalf of Australian industry, has already made a significant contribution. The Faculty of Engineering has continued to update course material to meet the current and future standards of the professions and the needs of society. To ensure that this is done effectively, it is essential to maintain a stimulating learning environ~ent, teaching and assessment methods. While the various courses provide the essential depth of study in the principal technical fields, we believe it to be of importance that students gain some breadth in their educational experience. In the various degree programmes the opportunity exists for students to take some subjects in other Faculties. The rationale for this is obvious; while the role of the professional Engineer or Surveyor may be seen as providing technical solutions to technical problems, he or she must also be acutely aware of the social implications of the decisions being made. The inter-relation of the professions and society is one of growing importance. The opportunity to obtain a well-rounded tertiary educational experience is embodied in the very concept of the University system. The University environment, with its excellent campus and facilities, together with the many extra-curricula activities, creates an opportunity for obtaining a total experience, indeed a unique experience, in one's lifetime. For this reason I would encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities available to you and, where time pennits. take an active interest in the various facets of University life. The staff of the Faculty will do everything possible to make your work both interesting and enjoyable and will be anxious to help you with any problems you may have. I personally would be most happy to assist you in any way I can, and would be grateful for any feedback of a constructive nature that you may wish to offer. In conclusion I wish you well in your studies at this University. There is no doubt that a course of study leading to an Engineering or Surveying degree requires a great deal of dedication and perseverance, but the task is certainly a rewarding one.

ALLAN W. ROBERTS, Dean

SECTION TWO

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COURSES Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree courses are offered in the following specialities:

Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering Materials Engineering Mechanical Engineering

In addition. a structured process metallurgy option is available within the Chemical Engineering programme.

Each engineering degree programme may be completed by four years full-time or equivalent study. A minimum of seven years study is required to complete a course entirely on a part-time basis, however, students may choose to combine years of full-time study with years of part-time study as their commitments permit. It is also possible to follow a "thick sandwich' pattern of attendance by which full-time study and full-time industrial experience are alternately undertaken on an annual basis. It is recommended that at least the final year of study be taken on a full-time basis. The attendance patterns available are described in Section Five.

Engineering courses are highly structured and, although each follows a similar pattern, the content of the courses naturally differs according to the needs of the speciality concerned.

In Year I students study mathematics and the basic sciences as well as commencing studies in the engineering sciences. Year II programmes continue studies in mathematics and, where applicable, basic sciences. The scope of engineering studies is also widened. Year III consists of major engineering subjects and is generally regarded as the core of the programme. In the final year these studies may be extended by the inclusion of specialist topics which may enable the student to concentrate on one or two particular subjects areas or to gain a wide range of specialist know ledge. Engineering programmes also make provision for non-engineering elective subjects to be included in the degree programme. The fmal year project, in which students may undertake extensive studies in an area of special interests, is a particular feature of engineering programmes at Newcastle.

Engineering programmes are regularly reviewed in order to incorporate the latest developments relevant to each specialisation. The currently Approved Programme for each course is set out in Section 5 of this Handbook.

In addition to the full degree programmes offered in the Faculty, students may commence studies in Mining Engineering and Naval Architecture by completing the first two years of the full time programmes in Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering respectively. Students choosing to follow these programmes may complete their studies at the University of New south Wales.

Honours

Honours are awarded on the basis of performance during the entire course programme (see Faculty Policies in Section 4).

FACULTY INFORMATION

Accreditation

Each established engineering programme is recognised as meeting the full academic requirements for corporate membership of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust) and recognised by a number of overseas professional bodies. Accreditation for the Materials Engineering programme introduced in 1988 will be sought at the appropriate time.

The Computer Engineering Programme is also accredited by the Australian Computer Society as sfJ,tisfying that organisation's highest level of academic requirements.

The Chemical Engineering programme also meets requirements for membership of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (Great Britain) and is recognised by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and the Australian Institute of Energy.

Combined Degree Programmes

Each of the BE programmes may form part of a combined degree programme leading to the award of a second degree by a total of five year's full-time study. Programmes have been approved which lead to the award of the BE degree in any speciality together with Bachelors degrees in Arts (BA), Commerce (BCom), Economics (BEc), Mathematics (BMath) or Science (BSc).

The following Specialist Combined Degree programmes have also been approved : BE (Computer Engineering) J BCompSc, BE (Civil Engineering) / BSurv, and BSurv / BMath.

Combined degree programmes are normally entered after completion of the fIrst year of an engineering programme with an average of credit or W AM of 70. See Section 7 of this Handbook for further details.

Surveying

The Bachelor of Surveying (BSurv) programme is offered as a four year full-time or equivalent study course on a similar basis to that of engineering programmes. In addition to Mathematics and Physics, the course also deals with aspects of Civil Engineering, Economics and Law as weU as the technical aspects of cadastral surveying, engineering surveying, topographical surveying, geodetic surveying and hydrographic surveying. The currently approved programme is set out in Section 5 of this Handbook.

The course meets the academic prerequisites for an application for registration under the Surveyors Act, 1929 (as amended). In order to become a Registered Surveyor in NSW it is necessary for a graduate to serve a period under articles and meet other requirements of the Board of Surveyors of NSW. Enquiries on this aspect should be directed to the Registrar of the Board of Surveyors of NSW.

Metallurgy

The Council of the University has resolved that no new students will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Metallurgy (BMet) Programme. It is, however, expected that the degree will continue to be awarded for some years to students already enrolled in the programme.

For the approved course programme students should refer to the 1986 Faculty of Eng in cering Handbook.

SECTION TWO

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA COURSES Diploma in Industrial Engineering

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is responsible for the teaching of subjects which may be taken in the Diploma in Industrial Engineering.

The Diploma in Industrial Engineering is a postgraduate course directed especially towards those concerned with the planning, supervision and administration of industrial undertakings. The course has a twofold objective. Primarily it has been designed as a bridging course for those graduates with limited or no formal training in the various basic disciplines of industrial engineering. In this respect the programme of study will be selected so as to complement the person's particular technological knowledge with instruction in the industrial field so that he or she can better perform the functions of industrial management, planning and control. For those who already have had in their undergraduate programme a comprehensive training in the basic disciplines of industrial engineering, the course has a secondary objective. In this case the aim is to broaden the person's basic training with the offer of study in a wider range of disciplines which have an important application in the industrial engineering field.

The Diploma programme consists of ten units of formal coursework plus two units of project work. Normally this programme shall be completed in not less than two years of part-time study, although in special cases approved by the Faculty Board, the programme may be completed in one year on a full-time study basis. The Regulations for the Diploma in Industrial Engineering and the Schedule of Subjects available is set out in Section 3 of this Handbook.

Diploma in Surveying

The Department of Civil Engineering and Surveying is responsible for the teaching of subjects which form the core of the Diploma in Surveying.

The Diploma in Surveying is a postgraduate course designed to broaden and further the education of the practising surveyor. ~ecent technological changes have significantly altered the role and operational techniques of surveyors. Many items of equipment and computational methods now in use were unknown ten to fifteen years ago. The course has a twofold objective. Primarily, it has been designed as a bridging course for surveyors with the professional qualification of the Reciprocating Surveyors Boards of Australia and New Zealand. University Degree Courses in Surveying were not available when these surveyors passed the examinations set by those Boards. As a consequence, the variety and depth of the modern curriculum was not available to these people. The Diploma in Surveying is seen as broadening and updating their professional training with a choice of subjects designed to complement their current knowledge. For those surveyors who already have had, in their Wldergraduate programme, a comprehensive training in the modem developments in surveying, the course has a secondary objective. In this case, the aim is to broaden the person's basic training with the offer of study in a wider range of disciplines which have important applications in some fields of surveying.

FACULTY INFORMATION

The Diploma programme consists of ten units of formal coursework plus two units of project work. Normally this programme shall be completed in not less than two years of part-time study, although in special cases approved by the Faculty Board, the programme may be completed in one year on a full-time basis. The regulations for the Diploma in Surveying and the Schedule of Subjects available is set out in Section 3 of this Handbook.

POSTGRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMMES Master of Engineering Science

The Master of Engineering Science degree has the primary aim of increasing the knowledge of the student in a specific and professional area, and therefore places more emphasis on coursework; nevertheless it includes project work for its own value both in the broadening and the consolidation of knowledge, and as an introduction to research.

The Master of Engineering Science degree course is offered on both a part-time and full-time basis in order to give graduate engineers the opportunity to update themselves in technological areas of interest. This degree course is flexible in that candidates for the degree may select from a large number of subject combinations which may span one or more engineering Departments. At present ~ngSc subjects are available in areas of Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Coal Technology. The EE, GE and ME 500 and 600 level subjects currently approved are listed in Section 6 of this Handbook. Some undergraduate or postgraduate material may be taken from inside or outside the Faculty of Engineering as credit for the degree, provided that such material is relevant to the programme as a whole.

The Regulations for the Master of Engineering Science degree and the list of approved subjects are set out in Section 3 of this Handbook. This degree programme is currently under review within the FaCUlty. .

Master of Engineering

The Master of Engineering degree has the primary aim of introducing the student to postgraduate research. Course work may be included in the programme. The quality and standard of work required in the thesis will be at a substantially higher level than that expected of an Honours Bachelor of Engineering graduate. The Regulations for the Master of Engineering degree are set out in Section 3 of this Handbook.

Master of Science

This degree is similar to the Master of Engineering degree but is usually taken by students with a non-engineering background or students who are carrying out research in areas related to engineering. The Regulations for the Master of Science degree are set out in Section 3 of this Handbook.

Master of Surveying

The Master of Surveying degree has the primary aim of introducing the student to research, and bringing him to the point where he will be able to conduct research effectively under direction. Course work will not normally be included

About This Section

This section contains Faculty Policies which are relevant to students enrolled in undergraduate programmes within the FaCUlty. The following matters are included:

Undergraduate Performance and Progress Requirements CritJ:ria for Honours Awards Weighted Average Mark (W AM) Calculation Method Final Dates for Addition of Subjects Late Withdrawal from Subjects Year/Stage Oassification Standing for Certificate Holders Industrial Experience Requirements Exemptions Special Consideration Special Examinations Deferred Examinations Submission of Final Year Project Reports

Note:

that Faculty Policies do not remain static. Students are expected to consult Faculty and Departmental notice boards regularly in order to make themselves aware of any proposals or decisions which may affect them. Enquiries regarding Faculty Policy may be directed to the Faculty Secretary.

POLICIES ON UNDERGRADUATE PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS 1. General

(1) The following policies are made under the powers vested in the Faculty Board, Faculty of Engineering, by the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees offered in the Faculty of Engineering and various By­laws and Regulations of the University including, but not limited to, By-law 2.4 - The Faculties, the Examination Regulations, and the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress.

(2) In these Policies, unless the context or subject matter otherwise indicates or requires:

"course" means the total requirements as prescribed in these Policies and the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees offered in the Faculty of Engineering which, when completed, qualify a candidate for the award of the relevant degree. "Dean" means the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering.

"Degree Regulations" means the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering.

"Department" means a department of the Faculty of Engineering. "Faculty Board" means the Faculty Board, Faculty of Engineering. "responsible department" means the deparunent designated as such in the relevant Schedule of the Degree Regulations. "student" means a person enrolled in an undergraduate course offered in the Faculty of Engineering.

FACULTY POLICIES

"sub-dean" means the Subdean of the Faculty of Engineering.

2. Reservation

(1) Faculty Board reserves its rights to consider each case on its merits and to amend its policies without notice as it judges to be proper to maintain appropriate standards of attainment.

3. Assessment

(1) Assessment within each subject offered by a Department may take into account work in: assignments, reports, laboratory exercises, tutorials, class tests and fonnal examinations.

(2) Students will be informed of the method of assessment to be adopted in each subject before the fourth week of lectures in that subject. This information will include an indication of the type of tasks comprising the assessment and the weighting each task will have in the determination of the final result in the subject concerned. It should be noted that the final result in a subject is not necessarily determined simply by the addition of marks awarded for assessment tasks although the weightings of each task and class ranking will be maintained except where an application for special consideration is granted.

(3) In the case of subjects offered to students enrolled in any undergraduate course in the Faculty by Departments of the Faculty (and any department of another faculty willing to take part in this procedure), the result in each subject will be reported as follows:

Result Reported as: Marks in the range of 45% to 100% inclusive - Percentage Mark

Marks less than 45% - FF (Fail)

Other non-passing grades - Grades approved by Senate for specific purposes.

(4) Percentage marks in the range of 45 to 54 inclusive, are regarded as indicating that a student, whilst not performing clearly at a satisfactory level in the subject concerned, had nevertheless demonstrated sufficient Wlderstanding of the subject to proceed, provided other progress requirements are met, without repeating the material contained in that subject (see Policy 5 below).

(5) In the case of subjects offered by departments of other faculties, results may be awarded as grades (rather than percentage marks) in accordance with University By­laws and Regulations and the Policies of the Faculty Board.

4. Academic Performance

(1) The academic performance of each student enrolled in an undergraduate course offered in the Faculty shall be measured by a Weighted Average Mark(W AM).

13

SECTION FOUR

(2) The W AM is calculated from the results of all subjects taken tqwards the satisfaction of Degree Requirements, except, as provided in Policy 4.5 below, in the following manner:

WAM SnIDofCmuw) Sum of (u w)

Wbere:

m = The Mark as defmed in Policy 4.3 below.

u The Unit Value of the subject concerned.

w = The Weighting of the subject concerned as detennined under Policy 4.4 below.

(3) The Mark Cm? will be calculated as follows:

• Where the result in a subject is given in the range of 45 to 100 inclusive;m' is equal to that percentage mark.

• Where the result in a subject is a grade of FF. AF, EF or WF. 'm' is equal to 44.

• Where the result in a subject is a passing grade (rather than a percentage mark), the Mark Cm? will be deemed to be the relevant number listed below:

Grade 'm'

lID 93 D = 80

C 70 P 58

UP = 58

TP 49

Where grades of W. X, S or I are awarded the subject concerned shall not be included in the calculation of the students W AM until a mark or a final grade shall be awarded in that subject, at which time, the student's W AM shall be re-calculated to include the newly approved mark or grade.

(4) Each subject shall have a weighting of I, 2, 3 or 4 as determined by Faculty Board. The weighting so detennined will be published in the Faculty Handbook. Weightings will generally be determined according to the le~el at which a subject is offered as set out below.

Non-engineering Weighting Subject Year Level

100 200 300

or equivalent

400, 500 or 600

I 2 3 4

(5) The following will be taken into account when calculating the W AM:

14

• Subjects taken in satisfaction of course Elective requirements shall be considered to satisfy those requirements in the order in which they are taken during the course. • Subjects taken extraneous to Degree Requirements shall not be included in the calculation of a student's WAM.

FACULTY POLICIES

Students re-admitted to a course after being granted leave of absence for the previous academic year, will retain their previous W AM as the basis of future calculations.

• Students permitted to transfer from one course offered in the Faculty to another shall, provided standing in all subjects previously passed in the original course is granted in the new course, retain the W AM achieved in the original course as the basis for future W AM calculations in the new course.

• Students re-admitted to a course without having been granted leave of absence for the previous academic year, shall be considered in the same way as if they had completed their previous studies at another institution and re-commence calculation of their W AM from the year of their re-admission: provided that a student who was last enrolled in a course not more than three (3) years prior to the year of their re-admission to that course may request that the W AM applying at the conclusion of the last year of their enrolment in that course be reinstated as the basis of future calculations. Such a request must be made to the Secretary, in writing, by 30 April in the year of re-admission and may be approved by the Dean or the Dean's nominee.

• Students admitted to a course for the fust time shall, subject to the above provisions, commence calculation of their W AM from the year of their admission, whether they be granted standing or not.

(6) Each student's W AM shall be included in the schedule of recommended results presented to Faculty Board included on each student's notification of results and placed on the student's academic record; except that should a grade of S, X or I be awarded to a student, the W AM calculated for that student will be regarded as provisional until final marks or grades are a",!arded.

\J) Where a student has been awarded a grade of S, X or I, the student's WAM shall, upon the award of other marks or grades for the subject( s) concerned, be re­calculated and included on the student's notification of results and placed upon the student's academic record in place of the provisional W AM: provided that students awarded a deferred examination (grade X) may not subsequently be awarded a mark greater than 64 or a grade higher than Pass.

(8) Students may elect to repeat any subject in which they were awarded a result in the range of 45 to 54 or a grade of TP, or to enrol in a subject which replaced a subject in that category in the Approved Programme of the course in which they are enrolled. In such a case:

• the subject originally taken remains part of the student'S academic record and continues to be included in the calculation of the student's W AM as before.

• the repeated subject is included in the W AM calculations of the year in which it is taken.

• if the student is awarded a failing grade in the repeated subject, the failure is tteated in the same way as if the subject were attempted for the first time and the subject must be repeated.

SECTION FOUR

Note:

Students will not normally be permitted to repeat subjects in which they were awarded a Final Assessment of 55 or more, or a passing grade.

S. Academic Progression and Unsatisfactory Progress

(1) A student who maintains a W AM of 55 or more is considered to be a student in good standing.

(2) If the W AM of a student previously in good standing is less than 55 at the conclusion of an academic year, the student shall be placed on probation for the next academic year in which they enrol in any course offered in the Faculty.

(3) If a student placed on probation withdraws without penalty from all subjects in which they are enrolled whilst on probation, the term of their probation shall be deemed to be extended to the following academic year.

(4) A swdent on probation is strongly advised to repeat all subjects. other than elective or extraneous subjects, which were taken in the academic year in which his or her W AM became less than 55 and for which he or she received a result of less then 55, before enrolling in subjects not previously attempted.

(5) Except as otherwise approved by the Dean or the Dean's nominee, a student on probation shall not be permitted to enrol in an annual programme of study of more than 12 units.

(6) A student on probation who attains a W AM of 55 or more at the end of their probationary year, shall be released from probation and be considered to be a student in good standing.

(7) A student on probation who fails to attain a W AM of 55 or more at the end of their probationary year, shall be deemed not to have maintained a rate of progress considered satisfactory to the Faculty Board under Regulation 3(1) of the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress and shall be required to show cause as to why he or she should not be excluded from the Faculty under the tenDS of those Regulations.

(8) Students required to show cause under Policy 5.7 shall be advised of their rights to make representations either in writing or in person prior to decisions under Regulation 3(1) being taken.

(9) The Dean or Sub-dean shall detennine the time and place at which persons required to show cause under Policy 5.7 may make representations in person.

(10) In reapect of students required to show cause under Policy 5.7. the Dean or Sub-dean shall, after considering any representations made by such a student and on the recommendation of the Head of the responsible deparUnent, either:

• determine the action to be taken under Regulation 3(1) of the Regulations Governing UnsatisfIK:tory Progress on behalf of Faculty Board; .., • refer the case to Faculty Board for consideration.

FACULTY POLICIES

(11) A student who is required to show cause under Policy 5.7 and permitted to continue studies within the Faculty is deemed to remain on probation and continues to be subject to the provisions of the Policies of Faculty Board as would a student placed on probation under the provisions of Policy 5.2.

6. Satisfaction of Degree Requirements

(1) Students are considered to have passed the programme of subjects approved by Faculty Board in accordance with the relevant schedule of the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees Offered in the Faculty of Engineering when they have:

(i) attained a Final Assessment of 45 or more (or a passing grade) in each of the subjects comprising the relevant programme of subjects approved by Faculty Board; and

(ii) attained at the completion of that programme a W AM of 55 or more.

(2) If a student completes the relevant programme of subjects but has not achieved a W AM of 55 or more, the student is regarded as not having passed the programme of subjects approved by Faculty Board and is therefore ineligible for the award of a bachelors degree and is placed on probation under the tenns of section 5 of these policies.

(3) A student who is ineligible for the award of a bachelors degree under the terms of Policy 6.2 may repeat any subject in which they were awarded a result in the range of 45 to 54 (in which case the conditions of Policy 4.8 apply) or enrol in such other subjects not previously attempted as the Dean, on the recommendation of the Head of the responsible department, may approve until such time as he or she attains a WAM of 55 or is excluded under the provisions of section 5 of these policieS.

7. Awards of Honours and Merit

LAST DATES FOR ADDITION OR SUBSTITUTION OF SUBJECTS

Students enrolled in courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering should ensure that all applications to add to or substitute subjects in their annual programmes of study are submitted by the following dates:

First Semester subjects 30 April (in each year) Full Year subjects 30 April (in each year) Second Semester subjects 4th Friday of Second Semester

(5 August in 1988)

Applications to add or substitute subjects submitted after these dates will NOT normally be approved.

Note:

1. Only entries on the official university record indicate enrolment in a subject. It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that the University's record of their enrolment is accurate at all times.

2. Attendance at classes in a subject in which a student is not enrolled does not imply any right to be subsequently enrolled in that subject.

3. The Lecturer of a subject may refuse to mark the work of a student who is not officially enrolled in that subject.

4. The specification of the last dates for enrolment does not imply that all applications made before that date will be approved. Applications to enrol in a subject made before the above dates may be refused on a number of grounds including. for example, that the subject has progressed past the point where enrolment is acceptable or that resources have been fully allocated to students already enrolled. For this reason all applications to add subjects should be made as early as possible.

S. University Regulations and Policy in regard to withdrawal from subjects remain unchanged.

MISSING AN EXAMINATION

Failure to attend a fonnal written examination is a very serious matter. Students are expected to attend examinations unless prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond their control.

Because of the seriousness of the matter, clear evidence is required before the possibility of awarding a Special Examination will be considered. Where it is alleged that illness prevents attendance at an examination, students arc advised to see their doctor on the day of the examination and obtain a medical report (or supplementary report) on the Application for Special Consideration Form which clearly states the reasons for

17

Page 15: FACULTY OF ENGINEERING HANDBOOK...Master of Science Master of Surveying ... Re-Admission after Absence Attendance Status Change of Address Change of Name Change of Programme Withdrawal

SECTION FOUR

their inability to sit for an examination on that day. In other circumstances all available evidence should be provided together with a Statutory Declaration setting out the circumstances which prevented attendance. Note that an Application for Special Consideration should be lodged within three (3) days of the examination involved. (see Special Consideration and Special Examinations below).

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

It is recognised that during the course of their studies. students may suffer from illness or other SERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES which affect their preparation for or perfonnance at an examination. University Regulations provide for students who believe that their perfonnance in a subject has been adversely affected by such circumstances to apply for Special Consideration (also refer to the General University Infonnation section of this Handbook).

APPLICATIONS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATION MUST BE MADE ON THE PRESCRIBED FORM. Forms are available from the Student Administration Office in the McMullin Building.

As decisions can only be made on the basis of the information presented by the student, each application should give FULL PARTICULARS of the circumstances which are relied upon and the way in which it is believed that performance has been adversely affected by those circumstances. Applications MUST be accompanied by medical certificates or other relevant documentary evidence as indicated on the form.

MEDICAL CERTIFICATES OF THE KIND NORMALLY ISSUED TO EXPLAIN ABSENCE FROM EMPLOYMENT DO NOT MEET THE ABOVE CRITERIA AND ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO EXPLAIN ABSENCE FROM AN EXAMINATION. Where submitted, such reports will normally be taken to indicate a 'mild' handicap.

Where a request for Special Consideration is made on the grounds of misadventure, all available supporting evidence should be attached to the application. In some cases the submission of a Statutory Declaration will be appropriate. Statutory Declaration forms are available from most newsagents. .

Requests should be made as soon as possible after the occurrence of the circumstances leading to the request. University Regulations provide that requests must be submitted within 7 days in cases where study during the year or preparation for an examination was affected (or by such later time as the Dean may approve). Requests made regarding attendance or performance in a formal written examination must be made within 3 days of the date of the examination (or by such later time as the Vice-Chancellor may approve). Where a student is unable to make application personally, another person may take action on the student's behalf.

When considering requests for Special Consideration it is the intention of the Faculty to take account of circumstances which adversely affect performance such that the performance of the student concerned does not reflect his or her true competence in a subject In doing so, the Faculty

18

OTHER FACULTY POLICIES

will be conscious that any Special Consideration given should not act to the disadvantage of other students.

Enquiries regarding Special Consideration may be directed to the Faculty Secretary. (Also see Missing an Examination above and Special Examinations below.)

SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS

Special Examinations are NOT awarded automatically. If it is considered to be appropriate, a Special Examination may be awarded following timely lodgement of a properly completed Application for Special Consideration, whether the examination in the subject concerned was attended or not. (See Missing an Examination and SpeCial Consideration above.)

Students who are awarded a Special Examination will receive the result of'S' as the result for the subject concerned. Where a Special Examination is awarded, the student should contact the Department offering the subject in order to ascertain whether the examination will be held in the January Examination Period or at some other convenient time. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that he or she is aware of the time and place at which the Special Examination will be held.

DEFERRED EXAMINATIONS

Deferred examinations in subjects offered by Departments of the Faculty will not normally be awarded to students other than those students enrolled in a programme of subjects sufficient to complete degree requirements in the current year.

Where a student fails a single subject and is thereby prevented from qualifying to graduate, a deferred examination may be awarded in that subject. If the subject concerned is a final year project subject special conditions apply (see Submission of Final Year Project Reports below).

Deferred examinations recommended to the Faculty Board by departments of other faculties will normally be approved.

It should be noted that the maximum result which can be awarded on the basis of a deferred examination is that of pass (either a 'P' grade or a mark: no higher than 64).

REVIEW OF RESULTS

Students may apply through the University Examinations Office for a review of final results in subjects (see the General Information section of this Handbook for details of the procedure and the fee involved). All requests for review must he made by this procedure. If considered necessary, students may attach a statement to the official request for a review in which any facts believed to point to an error or omission having been made may be brought to the attention of the deparunent concerned. Note that any such statement is not a replacement for requests for Special Consideration.

While staff may discuss aspects of performance in examinations with the individual students concerned within a short period after fmal results have been published in order to provide feedback for educational purposes, the assessment of individual pieces of work will not be discussed.

SECTION FOUR

SUBMISSION OF FINAL YEAR PROJECT REPORTS

Meeting the deadline for submission of final year project reports is considered to be an important element of the subjects concerned. Departments within the Faculty have been requested by Faculty Board to adopt the following policies regarding the submission of final year project reports.

• The time for submission of fmal year project report will be set at 5.00 pm on a date (to be specified by the Department concerned) during the November examination period. This date is regarded in the same way as a final formal examination. That is, failure to submit the report at or before the due time is regarded in the same way as failure to attend a formal written examination. The result will be failure, subject to any other decision which may be taken as a result of a request for Special Consideration.

• An extension of time for a submission, by way of an Incomplete grade (I) being awarded in December, may only be granted in response to a formal request for Special Consideration made through the Secretary to the University (see Special Consideration policy above). As students are expected to anticipate some delay or difficulties during the course of their project, Special Consideration will not normally be granted for circumstances involving less than 4 weeks loss of working time for the swdent.

• Submissions presented by the due date but not up to final presentation standard, or which require an acceptably small amount of additional work, may be granted a result of deferred (X). Final submission of the report will then be required on a date (to be specified by the Department concerned) during the January examination period and the Project will not be awarded a result higher than 64.

LATE WITHDRAWAL FROM SUBJECTS

Applications to withdraw from subjects lodged after the final date for withdrawal without penalty are normally either approved with penalty or not approved.

In exceptional circumstances the Dean may approve withdrawal without penalty. Such applications are viewed in the same light as requests for Special Consideration and should be documented accordingly (see policy on Special Consideration above).

YEARS/STAGE CLASSIFICATION

Full-time swdents are classified by year.

Part-time students are classified by stage.

Classification is determined by the number of units passed in accordance with the following table:-

OTHER FACULTY POLICIES

Full-time BE, Part-time BE, BSc(Met) BMet & BSurv BMet & BSurv

Students enrolled for the final year of any combined course will be classified as Year V.

STANDING FOR TAFE CERTIFICATES

Faculty Board has approved the granting of standing to students enrolling in courses who hold certain TAFE Certificates. The standing Lo be granted will naturally vary according to the TAPE qualification obtained, the course programme in which the candidate is enrolled and the current requirements of that programme. For details of the standing available students should contact the Faculty Secretary.

List of Certificate Courses For Which Standing is Granted

Cartography Certificate I Associate Diploma Civil Engineering Certificate Computer Services Technology Certificate Electrical Engineering Certificate Electronics Engineering Certificate Electronics and Communications Certificate Engineering Survey Certificate Land and Engineering Survey Drafting Certificate Marine Engineering Technology Certificate Mechanical Engineering Certificate Metallurgy Certificate I Associate Diploma Naval Architecture Certificate Production Engineering Certificate Structural Engineering Certificate Surveying Certificate I Higher Certificate

INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE 1. General

For the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor or Metallurgy, students will nonnally be required to complete a total of at least 12 weeks of practical work of a nature acceptable to the Faculty Board. This practical experience may be either gained during long vacations or as part of an Industrial Experience elective.

The University can accept no responsibility for finding employment for students wishing to enrol for Industrial Experience units or to find employment in order to satisfy industrial experience requirements. Students experienCing difficulty in obtaining suitable employment may contact the University'S Careers and Student Employment Office.

2. Full-Time Students

Full-time students will normally gain their practical experience during vacation employment. Students should obtain a statement from their employer certifying the nature and period of the employment undertaken and retain the

19

SECTION FOUR

statement so as to be in a position to provide it when called upon to do so.

3. Part-Time and Sandwich Pattern Students

Students enrolled in the degree of Bachelor of Engineering on a part-time basis may choose to take Industrial Experience units as part of their elective programmes. To be eligible for an Industrial Experience unit, the student must be in approved employment on the 1 November preceding the year in which the unit is to be taken. This approved employment must continue for one calendar year, that is, until the 31 October of the year in which the unit is to be counted. Students enrolled in Industrial Experience units must attend such lectures, seminars, etc, and submit such reports as the relevant Head of Department may require. Nonnally no Industrial Experience unit will be allowed in the first year of enrolment. The following is a list of the maximum number of Industrial Experience units that may be counted towards the degree in the various courses offered.

Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering Mechanical Engineering

4 units 4 units 4 units 4 units

- 3 units - 3 units

Students attending on a 'thick' sandwich pattern should consult wilh the Head of their Departments before enrolling in an Industrial Experience subject.

The successful completion of one IndusUial Experience unit satisfies the requirement that students complete 12 weeks practical experience.

4. Bachelor of Science (Metallurgy) Students

(i) For the degrees of Bachelor of Science (Engineering) and Bachelor of Science (Metallurgy), students must complete at least three years of practical experience before the 31st January in the year in which the student is to be admitted to the degree. If this requirement is not met admission to the degree may be deferred

(ii) Students transferring from the degree of Bachelor of Science (Metallurgy) to the degree of Bachelor of Metallurgy may claim up to five Industtial Experience units as Met. 400 subjects.

EXEMPTIONS 1. Failure in a Subject

Failure in a core subject (grades FF, AF, WF or EF) means that the subject must be repeated in full (except where exemption may be given for laboratory classes - see below). Failure in an Elective subject means that either that subject must be repeated in full or other Elective subject(s) of equivalent unit value must be taken in its place.

2. Exemptions Within Subjects

Exemptions will not be given in a part subject or topic taken within a larger subject even if the content of that pan subject or topic is offered separately as a smaller unit value subject.

20

OTHER FACULTY POLICIES

3. Standing for Work Completed as Part of a Larger Subject

Standing may be granted, where appropriate, for work completed as part of a larger subject ONLY where the larger subject was successfully completed. That is, standing will NOT be granted on the basis of work completed in a part subject or topic which formed pan of a larger subject if a failing grade was awarded in the larger subject concerned.

4. Exemptions for a Laboratory Component of a Subject

In some cases, a student who fails a subject but completed the laboratory component of that subject satisfactorily. may be exempted from repeating that laboratory component. Exemption from a laboratory component is not automatic and should not be assumed. Students should apply to the lecturer responsible for the subject concerned for exemption from laboratory work at the commencement of classes in that subject.

SECTION FIVE

About This Section

This section contains the detailed undergraduate course programmes which have been approved by Faculty Board in accordance with the Regulations Governing Bachelors Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering.

A guide is also provided to the various patterns of attendance by which courses may be completed.

Each course is outlined as an approved full-time programme taken over 4 years. All students complete the relevant approved programme regardless of their pattern of attendance. There are also a number of other sections associated with each approved programme. These cover such aspects as:

• Options within the Approved Programme

• Elective Requirements • Prerequisites. Corequisites and Assumed Knowledge requirements of Core Subjects • The Recommended Pattern of Pan-time Attendance

• Transition Arrangements

Students are expected to be aware of all aspects of the Approved Programme and associated requirements of the course in which they are enrolled.

Enquiries may be directed to the Faculty Secretary or the Head of the Department indicated in the course entry concerned.

GUIDE ON COURSE ATTENDANCE PATTERNS

An Approved Programme is given in this Section for all undergraduate courses. All students must complete the requirements of the relevant Approved Programme regardless of their attendance pattern.

The Faculty of Engineering offers a flexible array of attendance patterns which are designed to suit the individual needs of students. There is no restriction on students choosing a pattern of attendance each year which suits them, so long as academic progress is satisfactory and other course requirements are met. The attendance patterns available are summarised below. Further enquiries may be directed to the Faculty Secretary.

Full-time Attendance

The great majority of students enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering attend as full-time students. Full-time attendance allows full concentration on course requirements during the academic year and is therefore the recommended pattern of attendance. Each course may be completed in a minimum of 4 years of full-time study. The criterion for classification as a full-time student is enrolment in three­quarters or more of the normal full time programme. Thus a student enrolled in 12 units or more is regarded as a full­time student

Part-time Attendance

Each course entry includes a recommended part-time attendance pattern which allows the requirements of the Approved Programme to be completed over 7 part-time stages. Pan-time students are not required to follow that pattern but should do so if they wish to complete the

BACHELOR DEGREE COURSE PROGRAMMES

programme in the minimum 7 years and avoid timetable clashes. While each student enrolled in 11 units or less is regarded as a part-time student. there is no minimum number of subjects in which part-time students must enrol each year. It is therefore possible to enrol in only one subject if such a programme is desired. Pan-time students may also choose to enrol in Industrial Experience subjects and count these units as Elective units as permitted by the Elective Requirements of the relevant course.

It is expected that Stages 1 and 2 of the Recommended Part· time Attendance Pattern of each course will be able to be completed by a single day release attendance pattern which also requires some evening study. After Stage 2. timetabling constraints may require attendance at irregular intervals. Departure from the published programme may lead to timetable clashes. Full time study is recommended after Stage 2.

Sandwicb Programmes

Each course may be undertaken on a 'thick' sandwich attendance pattern in which full-time attendance at University is alternated with full-time employment on an annual basis. This allows work experience to be undertaken in 15 month periods between Years I and II. Years II and III and Years III and IV. Such a pattern would require a minimum of 7 years to complete degree requirements. The number of years of work experience undertaken may vary according to the needs of the student. As this attendance pattern does not require attendance at University when gaining work experience. employment may be undertaken in areas remote from the University thereby adding to the diversity of the experience which may be gained and increasing the opportunities to obtain work experience employment

Students following this pattern should obtain Leave of Absence from their course for each year of work experience and apply for readmission to their course through UCAC.

Traineesbip Pattern

Some traineeships may continue to be offered on the basis of a part-time attendance pattern. however the following programme is recommended as the most suitable method of combining academic course requirements with work experience.

Year 1 Stage 1 Pan-time attendance at University plus vacation work

Year 2 Stage 2 Pan-time attendance at University plus vacation work

Year 3 Year II Full-time attendance at University plus vacation work

Year 4 Year ill Full-time attendance at University

Year 5 Full-time work experience - 15 months (approx.)

Year6 Year IV Full-time attendance at University-completion of studies.

A further 15 month period of work experience could be included between Years II and III resulting in a 7 year minimum programme.

21

Page 17: FACULTY OF ENGINEERING HANDBOOK...Master of Science Master of Surveying ... Re-Admission after Absence Attendance Status Change of Address Change of Name Change of Programme Withdrawal

SECTION FIVE CHEMICAL ENGINEERING COURSE_PROGRAMME

This attendance pattern allows both the employer and employee a period of assessment in Stages 1 and 2. After completing fIrst year studies, trainees are in a position to give their full attention to their academic studies in Years II, m and IV of their course and to gaining valuable practical experience during the 15 month period(s) of work experience. The length of the major work experience pcriod(s) makes it possible for the trainee to experience a full annual cycle of their employer's operation and to participate in the work of the organisation without being required to attend classes at irregular intervals. There is also no necessity for the major period of work experience to be gained in the local area.

Finding Employment

While the Careers and Student Employment Office of the University will assist students to find employment to complement their chosen attendance pattern, the University cannot accept any responsibility for finding appropriate positions for students.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering is the department responsible, under the Regulations Governing Bachelors Degrees Offered in the Faculty of Engineering (see Section 3) and the policies of the Faculty Board (see Section 4), for matters relating to the specialisation of Chemical Engineering.

The programme of subjects set out below has been approved by the Faculty Board and leads to the award of the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in the specialisation of Chemical Engineering.

Students enrolled prior to 1987 should carefully note the transition requirements.

About This Section

This section sets out detailed descriptions of the subjects offered by the Departments of the Faculty of Engineering and those subjects offered by departments of other faculties which are core subjects in the undergraduate programmes offered in the Faculty of Engineering. A list of Approved Elective Subjects is also included. Students will need to consult the subject descriptions for these subjects in the relevant Faculty Handbook(s).

A Guide to Sllbject Descriptions is given on this page.

GUIDE TO SUBJECT DESCRIPTIONS

Units

In undergraduate engineering subjects, one unit involves a total of 42 hours per year (1.5 hours per week for the whole year, or 3 hours per week for half a year) of lectures, laboratories, and tutorials. Where subjects from other faculties fonn part of an Engineering course, the unit value is detennined by the Faculty Board.

In the Master of Engineering Science Requirements a unit is defined as exactly one-twelfth of a full-time year, and in all postgraduate course, including the Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy the unit is understood to have the same value. This "postgraduate unit" is also defined as a programme which involves a student in a total of approximately 120 hours' work. This total includes all formal course work plus assignments and study. If the "unit" is a formal instructional course the 120-hour total includes 42 hours of lectures or the equivalent

What the two "units" - undergraduate and postgraduate - have in common is therefore the same 42 "contact-hours" per year. The postgraduate unit is a larger fraction of the year's work than the undergraduate unit as postgraduate students are expected to do more work per contact-hour than undergraduate students.

Weightings

Each subject undertaken as part of an undergraduate programme in the Faculty has a weighting for use in Weighted Average Mark (WAM) calculations (refer to Faculty Policies~in Section 4). Unless otherwise detennined by Faculty Board, each engineering subject has a weighting associated with the level at which it is offered as set out below.

Level

The six digit number which precedes the subject number and title of each subject is the Computer Code Number. The computer code numbers of relevant subjects should be quoted on all enrolment and variation of programme fonns. The computer code numbers of all subjects offered within the Faculty of Engineering appear with the subject

SUBJECT DESCRIPTIONS

descriptions and are also listed in Section 8 of this Handbook.

Subject Numbers

Each subject offered by Departments within the Faculty of Engineering has been given an identification number with prefixed letters to aid identification of subjects. This is known as the Subject Number.

The letter prefIX indicates the area of specialisation and often indicates the department responsible for the teaching of the subject concerned. The letter prefixes are as follows:

The Computer Number and Subject Name of appropriate subjects should be included on all enrolment and variation of programme forms.

Prerequisites and Corequisites

Prerequisites are those subjects which the student must have been passed before enrolling in the subject.

SECTION SIX

Corequisites are those subjects in which the student must enrol concurrently unless he or she has previously passed them.

The Dean, on the recommendation of the Head of Department, may relax prerequisites and corequisites. However, relaxation will only be granted in the most exceptional circumstances. Students who wish to _enrol ,in a subject for which they do not have the required prerequisites must apply to the Head of the Department offering the subject on the appropriate fonn. Fonns are available from the offices of the Departments of the Faculty of Engineering.

Students who enrol contrary to subject entry requirements may be withdrawn from the relevant subjects without notice.

Withdrawal from a subject will normally result in withdrawal from any corequisite subjects without notice.

Assumed Knowledge

Many subjects are taught on the basis of an assumption that students have previously completed certain other subjects although those subjects have not been determined to be prerequisites. The particular subject(s) which are assumed to have been completed in each case are indicated in the Subject Entries set out in the following pages.

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that they have met the assumed knowledge requirement of each subject in which they enrol. If in doubt, students should discuss the matter with the lecturer of the subject in which they intend to enrol.

It should be noted that students may enrol only in those subjects approved by the Dean. Such approval may be withheld or may be revoked where it becomes apparent that a student has not attained the level of knowledge assumed by a subject in which enrolment has been sought.

Examinations and Assessment

Refer to policies 3.1 to 3.5 of the Faculty's Policies on Undergraduate Performance and Progress published in Section 4 of this Handbook.

Hours

All subjects in the Faculty of Engineering are based on units of 42 contact hours each.

The 42 contact hours are spread over a whole year (1.5 hours per week for. 28 weeks) or over a half year (3 hours per week for 14 weeks). As far as possible this information is given in the University timetable. If in doubt. students should check with Departments before completing their enrolment.

Content

Each subject entry gives a general description of the content of the subject and indicates the broad areas covered.

Texts

Where appropriate. each subject entry indicates the texts used. In most cases it is recommended that students purchase the texts indicated, however, students may wish to consult

SUBJECT DESCRIPTIONS

with the lecturer concerned before finalising the purchase of texts.

References

Infonnation on reference material applicable to a particular subject will be provided by the lecturer in charge of that subject.

Availability of Subjects

Not all of the subjects listed on the following pages are necessarily offered in each academic year. Elective subjects may not proceed if the Department offering the subject considers there is insufficient demand for that subject

Alterations to Subjects

The Faculty Board and the Deparunents of the Faculty reserve the right to amend any aspect of the content of or arrangements for any subject described in this section without prior notice. The content of and arrangements for subjects given in this Section are an expression of intent only and are not to be taken as a ftrm offer or undertaking.

Lecturer D. B. Hughes

Prerequisites Nil

4 units:weighting=1

Hours 3 lecture hours per week, and weekly tutorials

Examination Two I-hour quizzes plus one 2-hour examination each semester

Content

The course is designed to introduce the student to the principles of economics. While emphasis through the course is on the theoretical underpinnings of economics, the concepts afford significant insights into contemporary problems. The theoretical concepts developed will be used to address contemporary issues and problems, eg, environmental pollution, poverty, urban quality of life, inflation and unemployment, and government policy alternatives.

The first semester will examine the principles of Microeconomics and their applications. Microeconomics is concerned with the rules of rationality for decisions made by individuals who wish to maximise their wellbeing, and the impact these decisions have upon the allocation of resources throughout an economy or society. Emphasis will be placed on contrasting theoretical conclusions with real-world praxis.

The second semester is concerned with Macroeconomics. It will involve a study of the relationship between aggregates such as consumption, invesunent, employment, inflation and growth. Basic theoretical analysis will be used to explain policy alternatives and some of the problems involved in making appropriate policy decisions. The comse will include a discussion of areas of theoretical controversy and provide some explanation as to why economists can advocate incompatible "solutions" to the same problem.
