These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
Through this combined degree program students can combine the concepts of mechanical engineering with arts. The mechanical engineering program has a strong focus on design with a design and build project in second year followed by a more advanced project in third year and a large design / research project in the final year. This program provides a core understanding of mechanical disciplines and problem solving skills. All Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their disciplines and majors. In the arts program, students are able to specialise in areas of their choice by taking a ‘major’ (from one of 25 areas) and potentially a ‘minor’ (from a range of areas).
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical)/ Bachelor of Arts is an AQF Level 08 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years. This program is accredited by Engineers Australia, and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
Conditions
Condition of enrolment
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Executive Dean or delegate before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.
Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) and Bachelor of Arts
There shall be a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) and Bachelor of Arts.
