Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) Requirements andRecommendations for Accelerated Pathway (AP) Students

General

AP students complete the 480 points required to gain a BE (Hons) degree in three years rather than the standard four

years. Credits are earned by completing 150 points each year (cf 120 points for standard engineering students). The

remaining 30 point deficit is fulfilled by completing two 15 point papers during summer school. This documentoutlines the recommended program for CEE AP students. Requirements for each year are outlined, and additional

sections describe the requirements relating to the summer school papers and engineering part I papers. Information

provided should be considered a guide only, and AP students are encouraged to discuss options with their mentors.

The programme of study must be approved by the AP programme coordinator(s).

AP Year 1

During their first year on the accelerated pathway, students will take 120 points dictated by the requirements of the

standard CEE part II program. Two additional 15 point papers will be taken. These are Enggen 121 Engineering

Mechanics in the first semester, and Enggen 115 Introduction to Engineering Design in the second semester.

AP Year 2

80 points of AP year 2 will be filled by the compulsory papers for CEE part III. The remaining 70 points for AP year

2 are chosen by students according to the following restrictions.

30 points - One 15 point paper in each semester dictated by the choice of EITHER the structural orenvironmental pathways within the CEE degree.

10 points - One 10 point paper taken in the second semester. This paper is chosen from a selection of three CEE

specific electives (Structural Dynamics, Geomechanics 3 and Environmental Fluid Mechanics).

30 points - One 15 point paper taken in each semester to cover part I papers not yet completed. These papers are

chosen by the student, and could be Engineering part I papers, or approved papers run inside or

outside the Faculty of Engineering but outside the standard CEE program. It is NOT permitted to take

the part IV research project (Civil 708) during AP year 2.

AP Year 3

AP year 3 is based on the requirements of the CEE part IV program. This requires students to complete 30 points of

compulsory papers (Civil 790 Civil Engineering Administration in semester 1 and Enggen 703 Professional and

Sustainability Issues in semester 2). Students must also complete a compulsory 30 point research project (Civil 708A

& B 15 points in each semester) The remaining 60 points of the standard CEE part IV program are selected from a

2/3

Summer school papers may be taken during any summer, including the summer before AP year 1, and the summer

after AP year 3 (immediately prior to commencement of a Master of Engineering degree). As summer school offerings

may change from year to year, students are directed to the Universitys summer school website to obtain the latest

information:

Engineering Part I Papers

AP students do not have to complete all of the papers that make up the standard Engineering part I. Some of these

papers are superseded by more advanced courses, and others are not relevant to Civil or Environmental Engineering.

Instead of these papers, AP students are encouraged to pursue higher level papers that are of interest to the student, or

that will give a broader understanding of topics relevant to a career in CEE. Substitution of part I papers with other

options must be discussed with and approved by the AP programme coordinator(s). Suggestions for completing part I

papers are as follows:

Required Recommended Optional

EngGen 121 Engineering Mechanics(Sem 1, AP Yr 1) EngSci 111 MathematicalModelling 1 (if prior to AP Yr 1) ElectEng 101 Electrical andDigital Systems

EngGen 115 Introduction to

Engineering Design

(Sem 2, AP Yr 1)

EngGen 140 Engineering Biology

and Chemistry

EngGen 131 Engineering

Computation and Software

Development

EngGen 199 English Language

Competency

ChemMat 121 Materials Science

Students are referred to the University Calendar to investigate options for extra papers taken in lieu of standard

Engineering part I papers. Students are reminded to check Student Services Online to ensure course offerings for a

specific semester.

AP Programme Coordinators

AP programme coordinators are responsible for helping students with administrative questions and course enrolment.

All AP students will be required to meet with the AP programme coordinator before the beginning of each semester.

The purpose of the meeting is primarily to review and/or update the schedule of courses. AP programme coordinators

for CEE are:
