These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
This program is not currently offered to commencing students.
This program entails computational modelling, simulation and optimisation within the engineering sciences. Computational engineering is an indispensable tool, along with experimentation and theoretical predication, in engineering practice and the advancement of scientific knowledge. With advances in computer technology and the algorithms required to solve complex problems, computational engineering enables the development of systems that are compatible with current trends of reduced emissions, fuel efficiency and the use of environmentally sustainable materials. The first two years of the program build a scientific and engineering foundation, which is followed by more specialist computational engineering and mathematics courses in the third and fourth years.
In addition to the academic program of study, students must complete a total of 12 weeks of full-time practical experience.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a standard full-time duration of 4 years.
Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical - Computational)
There shall be a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical - Computational).
Qualification Requirements
To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical - Computational), the student must complete satisfactorily a program of study consisting of the following requirements with a combined total of not less than 96 units, comprising:
- Courses to the value of 96 units, including Core courses to the value of 87 units and Elective courses to the value of
