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.

    • Defence Systems
    • Mechanical Engineering
    • Mechatronics and Robotics
    • Medical Technologies
    • Renewable Energy
    • Smart Technologies
    • Sports Engineering
  2. Bachelor of Arts courses to the value of 30 units, including Core courses to the value of 3 units, Elective courses to the value of 27 units and a major from the Bachelor of Arts
  3. A total of 8 weeks of approved engineering work placement is required. Students will need to enrol into the ENG 3100 Engineering Internship UG (0 units) course to complete this requirement.
  4. Unless exempted, International students are required to take ENG 1011 Introduction to Engineering EAL in lieu of ENG 1001 Introduction to Engineering
  5. Students who have not undertaken SACE Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) will be required to enrol in Mathematics IM, followed by Mathematics IA with Mathematics IB taken in Summer Semester to complete the Mathematics requirements at Level I. The satisfactory completion of Mathematics IM is in addition to the normal requirements of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
