180 UNSW UNDERGRADUATE HANDBOOKA Message from the DeanThis Handbook describes the many undergraduate programs available in the Faculty of Engineering at UNSW. There is a very wide choice of programs, plans and electives and we therefore suggest you spend some time reading the Handbook carefully.Whatever program you consider, it will be managed by one of our ten schools. Each school will have an advisor who can help you plan your program.In addition to the individual programs you can broaden your University experience by taking one of the wide range of combined programs which combine the BE with BSc, BA, LLB and BCom degrees. A Master of Biomedical Engineering may be studied concurrently with several of the BE programs.The Faculty of Engineering is dedicated to scholarship and research and to the facilitation of student learning. The academic staff are engaged in research and engineering practice, most of which is in collaboration with industry. This engagement with the frontiers of engineering and the related sciences ensures that students are familiar with the latest developments. In later years many students are able to participate in the work of the research teams in the Faculty.The Faculty is a major part of the international dimension of UNSW, we welcome many international students and also encourage local students to take part of their program at an overseas university. We have strong links with major research universities throughout the world.Students are encouraged to play an active role in all the University has to offer. There are many student led projects and other activities which can enhance your experience as a student at UNSW.Brendon ParkerDeanFaculty of Engineering3050Chemical Engineering – Part-time1893060 Food Science and Technology1893065Food Science and Technology (Honours)1903070Food Science and Technology – Part-time1903100Industrial Chemistry 1913110Industrial Chemistry – Part-time192Combined/Concurrent Degree Programs 3042Chemical Engineering/Bachelor of Science 1923043Chemical Engineering/Bachelor of Arts 1933715Chemical Engineering/Bachelor of Commerce1943048Chemical Engineering/Master of BiomedicalEngineering 1943102Industrial Chemistry/Bachelor of Science 1953103Industrial Chemistry/Bachelor of Arts 1963715Industrial Chemistry/Bachelor of Commerce196Fast-Track Programs with Master of Engineering Science 3040Chemical Engineering/Master of Engineering Science 1963100Industrial Chemistry/Master of Engineering Science197School of Civil and Environmental Engineering 3620Civil Engineering1983625Environmental Engineering 200Combined/Concurrent Degree Programs 3730Civil Engineering/Bachelor of Science2013621Civil Engineering/Bachelor of Arts2023715Civil Engineering/Bachelor of Commerce2034775Civil Engineering/Bachelor of Laws 2033146Civil Engineering/Mining Engineering2033631Civil Engineering/Environmental Engineering2043735Environmental Engineering/Bachelor of Science2063626Environmental Engineering/Bachelor of Arts2073715Environmental Engineering/Bachelor of Commerce2084777Environmental Engineering/Bachelor of Laws 208Fast-Track Programs with Master of Engineering Science 3620Civil Engineering/Master of Engineering Science2083625Environmental Engineering/Master of EngineeringScience208ContentsFaculty Information and AssistanceWho Can Help?182Faculty of Engineering Website182Entrance Requirements182General Education Requirements182Re-enrolment Procedures182Faculty Centres182Professional Institutions183Summary of ProgramsFull-time Programs 183Combined Degree Programs183Fast-Track Programs184Concurrent Degree Programs184UNSW Co-op Program185Transfer Programs185Rules for Progression and the Award of DegreesAccess to Exam Information185Bachelor of Engineering Program Rules185Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science Program Rules 185Bachelor of Engineering Master of Engineering Science Program Rules186Faculty Rules for Progression186Honours186Industrial Experience Requirements186Program Revision186Program Rules and Information Faculty of Engineering – All Schools3715 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Commerce 187School of Chemical Engineering and Industrial Chemistry3040Chemical Engineering188Faculty of Engineering
