These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).

Overview

Through this double degree program students can combine the concepts of mechanical engineering with mathematical and computer sciences. 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 students will complete a common first year before branching out into their majors. The mathematical and computer sciences program includes a range of mathematics, statistics and computer science courses.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical)/ Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences 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) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences

There shall be a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences.
