THE DEAN'S FOREWORD

On behalf of the staff of the Faculty of Engineering, I wish to extend a welcome to all students, those who are entering the University and the Faculty for the first time and those who are returning to commence another year of studies.

Having chosen to study in one of the fields of Engineering. Computer Science or Surveying. you are embarking on a professional career which is both challenging and stimulating. We are living in an age which is witnessing a tremendous growth in scientific and technological development and which is having a marked effect on the modes and characteristics of our society. The future of our society is very much dependent on the solution of a number of very complex technological problems. While these problems will be many and varied, none will be more important than those associated with food production, the development of alternative forms of energy and the preseIVation of ourliving environment. Graduatesin the various disciplines of Engineering and of Computer Science and Surveying, will, in their own way, contribute to the solution of these and other important problems.

The role of universities in modern society has broadened. Not onlyisitnecessarytopresetVetheidealsofleamingandassociated fundamental research, it has become of equal importance for universities to become directly involved in the application of research to the solution of problems associated with industry and the community. Forthis reason. the role of auniversity engineering faculty in applied and industrially orientaled research is an important one. In this respect it is noteworthy that this Faculty of Engineering, through its research and associated projects undertaken on behalf of Australian indUStry, is making a major contribution and has attained national and international prominence. The interaction between the research and teaching fUnctions is invaluable to the the maintenance of standards and the professional relevance of course, curricula.

I The opportunity to obtain a well-rounded tertiary educational experience is embodied in the very concept of the university system. The University environment, with its excellent campus and facilities, together with the many extra-curricula activities, creates an opportunity for obtaining a broad experience, indeed a unique experience in one's lifetime. For this reason I would encourage you to takefull advantageofthe opportunities available to you and, where time permits, take an active interest in the various facets of University life. I would also encourage you to take part in the decision-making processes of the Faculty, either through membership of the Faculty and Departmental Boards, or by supporting the students elected to those positions.

The staff of the Faculty will do everything possible to make your work both interesting and enjoyable; they are anxious to help you with any problems you may have. We would be most gratefulfor any feedback of a constructive nature that you may wish to offer.

In conclusion, I wish you well in your studies at this University. There is no doubt that acourse leading to a degree in Engineering, ComputerScienceorSurveying,requiresagreatdealofdedication and perseverance, but the task is certainly a rewarding one.

FACULTY INFORMATION

Bachelor Degree Courses General information regarding the bachelor degree programs offered in the Faculty is provided below. The detailed Course Programs appear in Section 5 of the Handbook.

Computer Science

The Bachelor of Computer Science (BCompSc) degree course has been designed to eqUip students with an excellent background for a professional career in the computer industry or as a programmer or systems analyst in industry or commerce.

Thecourse program meets the highest academicrequirementsfor membership of the Australian Computer Society (ACS).

TheBCompSc program may be completed by three years offulltime study or part-time equivalent. Combined degree programs are also available (see below).

Honours in Computer Science

The Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) degree is a separate degree program which may be taken full-time over one year or part-time over two years. Candidates for this degree have normally completed the BCompSc program with a creditable performance, however, graduates in other disciplines with a substantial background and acreditable performance in computer science may be considered for admission.

Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree courses are offered in the following specialities:

Chemical Engineering

Civil Engineering




Mechanical Engineering

Each engineering degree program may be completed by four years of full-time study or equivalent. Part-time attendance is permitted, however, students intending to undertake part-time study should note that many classes are held during the day. Students may choose to combine years of full-time study with years of part-time study as their commitments permit. It is also possible to follow a 'thick sandwich' pattern of attendance by which full-time study and full-time industrial experience are alternately undertaken onanannual basis.ltis recommended that at least the final year of study be taken on a full-time basis.

Engineering courses are highly structured and, although each follows a similar pattern, the content of the courses naturally differs according to the needs of the speciality concerned.

In Year I students study mathematics and the basic sciences as well as commencing studies in the engineering sciences. Year II programs continue studies in mathematics and, where applicable, basic sciences. The scope of engineering studies is also widened. Year III consists of major engineering subjects and is generally regarded as the core of the program. In the final yearthese studies are extended by the inclusion of more highly specialised topics.

Th~ programs ~so make provision for non-engineering elective sub~ects. to rx: mcluded in the degree program. The ImaI year project, m which students may undertake extensive studies in an area of special interest, is a particular feature of engineering programs at Newcastle.

~gineering programs are regularly reviewed in order to mCOIpOrate thelatest technological and professional developments \ relevan~ to eac~ specialisation. The current Course Programs are set out m Section 5 of this Handbook.

In addition to the full degree programs offered in the Faculty students m~y commence studies in Mining Engineering and ~aval Architecture by completing the first two years of the full time Pl?grams in Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering respectively .. Stude~tts choosing to follow these programs may complete therr studies at the University of New south Wales.

Honours

Aw~ of honours are made on the basis of performance during the entire course program (see Faculty Policies in Section 4).

Accreditation

Each e~gin~ program is recognised as meeting the full acade~creqwremen~forcorpora1emembershipOftheInstitution of Engmeers, Australia (lEAust) and recognised by a number of overseas professional bodies.

The Computer Engineering Program is also accredited b th At]'C ye

us ~a l:rn • o~puter Society (ACS) as satisfying that orgaruSation s highest level of academic requirements.

The Che~cal Engineering program also meets requirements for m:m~rship ?f the Institution of Chemical Engineers (Great Bn~) and IS recognised by the Royal Austra1ian Chemical Institute and the Australian Institute of Energy.

Surveying

The Bachelor of Surveying (BSurv) program is offered as a four yearf~ ~~e or equivalent study course on asimilarbasis to that of engmeenng programs.Inaddition to MathematicsandPhysics theooursealSOdealswithaspectsofCivilEngineering,EconOmi~ and Law as well as the technical aspects which include: cadastral survey~g, en~eering surveying, topographical surveying, geodetic surveymg and hydrographic surveying.

The course meets the academic prerequisites for an application for registmtion under the Surveyors Act, 1929 (as amended). In orderto becomeaRegisteredSurveyorin NSW itis necessary for a graduate to meet other requirements of the Board of Surveyors of ~SW. Enquiries on this aspect should be directed to the Regt.strar of ~e Board of Surveyors of NSW. Registration is req1llr~ only if practice as a land surveyor is intended; many surveymg careers do not require registration.

Combined Degree Programs

A numberof combined degree programs are available which lead to the award of a two degrees by a total of five years of full-time study for programs which include BE and four years of full-time study for ~CompSc/BMath and BCompSc/BSc programs. The pro~s listed below have been either approved or have been sub~Ued for approval by the relevant Faculty Boards. Other ~~~med programs may be approved to meet the needs of mWVldual cases. Information on the aVailability of combined progr~s may be obtained from the Combined Degree Coordinator, Professor R.I. Evans, orfrom the Faculty Secretary.

Diploma in Computing

This postgraduate diploma is designed to meet the need for a general computing qualification which can be completed in one year. While the course is recognised by the Australian Computer Society (ACS). it is not suitable for students intending to enter a higher degree course in computer science.

Applicants for admission to the program must demonstrate a sound knowledge of Pascal. Thisknowledgecan bedemonstrated either by passing the Introduction to Programming Exemption Examination or by providing evidence of successful completion of an approved Pascal course. Students who cannot demonstrate that they have such background knowledge must successfully complete the subject COMPI02 Introduction to Programming either prior to admission as a non-degree student or eruol in the Diploma program on condition that COMPI02 is taken as an extraneous subject for which the appropriate fee is required.

The diplomais intended as a part-time course. However, candidates with a strong background in programming may be able to complete requirements in a single full·time year of study although, in this case, subject choice is restricted.

Diploma in Surveying

The Diploma in Surveying is a postgraduate course designed to broaden and further the education of the practising surveyor. Recent technological changes have significantly altered the role and operational techniques of surveyors. Many items of equipment and computational methods now in use were unknown ten to fIfteen years ago. The course has a twofold objective. Primarily, it has been designed as a bridging course for surveyors with the professional qualification of the Reciprocating Surveyors Boards of Australia and New Zealand. University degree courses in surveying were not available when these surveyors passed the examinations set by those Boards. The Diploma in Surveying is seen as broadening and updating the professional training with a choice of subjects designed to complement the professional experience of candidates. Forthose sUlVeyors who already have had a comprehensive training in the modem developments in surveying, the course has a secondary objective. In this case, the aim is to broaden the candidate's basic training with the offer of study in a wider range of disciplines which have important applications in some fields of surveying.

The Diploma program is normally completed by at least two years of part-time study, although in special cases approved by the Faculty Board, the program may be completed in one year on a full-time basis.

The MCompSc is a research degree by thesis, requiring an original contribution to knowledge in the area of computer science. Applicants for admission are expected to hold a BCompSc(Hons) or an equivalent honours degree with at least second class honours. Candidates who enrol initially in the MCompSc may later transfer into the PhD program if their work is of an exceptional quality. The area of research is usually associated with one of the research projects being carried out in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Master of Computing

This post-graduate coursework masters degree program requires two years of full-time (or the equivalent part-time) study. In addition to coursework at 400 level, candidates complete a very substantial one-year research related project which is usually associated with one of the research projects being carried out in the Department Computer Science.

Applications will be considered from graduates who have completed the Bachelor of Computer Science or its equivalent (eg including the Graduate Diploma in Computer Science).

Master of Engineering

The Masterof Engineering is aresearch degree by thesis. Relevant coursework may be undertaken in association with the research program. The quality and standard of work required in the thesis is substantially higher level than that expected of an Bachelor of Engineering honours graduate. Candidates who enrolinitiallyin the ME program may later transfer into the PhD program if their work is of an exceptional qUality.

Master of Engineering Science

The Master of Engineering Science is coursework program with major project. The program is intended to provide graduate engineers with the opportunity to update their knowledge in technical areas of particular interest. However, as a result of resource limitations, no new enrolments were accepted in 1990. The position for 1991 is under review.

Master of Science

This degree is similar to the Master of Engineering degree but is usually taken by students with anon-engineering background or students who are carrying out research in science areas related to engineering.

Master of Surveying

The MasterofSurveying degreehas the primary aim of introducing students to research, and bringing them to the point where they will be able to conduct research effectively under direction. Coursework will not nonnally be included in the program. The quality and standard of work required in the thesis will be at a substantially higher level than that expected of an Bachelor of Surveying honours graduate. Candidates who enrol initially in the MSurv program may later transfer into the PhD program if their work is of an exceptional quality.

Centre for Industrial Control Science The Centre for Industrial Control Science was established in 1988 under the Special Research Centre scheme of the Australian Government and is closely linked to the Department of Electrical. Engineering and Computer Science. Additional support is provided by the University and Industry.

The work of the Centre is conducted On two parallel streams. One dealing with theoretical issues in systems science and the other with the design of industrial control and signal processing systems. The aim of the Centre is to establish a true synergism between theoretical work and practical applications of control science, particularly in the areas of process control and automation.

The area of control systems design brings basic theoretical ideas in the understanding of nonlinear systems, estimation and information theory together with the associated technologies of computing, communications and industrial electronics.

In addition to the staff of the Centre, a number of the members of ' the academic staff of the Department of Electrical Engineering. and Computer Science are involved with the work of the Centre, . as are some 30 postgraduate students. Visiting academics and postdoctoral fellows also contribute to the work of the Centre.

SECTION FOUR

FACULTY POLICIES

About This Section This section contains Faculty Policies which are relevant to all students enrolled in undergraduate programs within the Faculty and are to be read in conjunction with course programs and degree regulations.

Students should note that Faculty Policies do not remain static. Students are expected /0 consult Faculty and Departl1U!n.tai notice boards regularly in order to make themselves aware a/any proposaisordecisionswhichmayaf/ectli1£m.Enquiriesregarding Faculty Policy may be directed to the Faculty Secretary.

General Coutse Rules and Information The infonnation given below should be read in conjunction with the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering and other University requirements and Faculty policies.

It is the responsibility of students to ensure that they ernal in a program which meets currently applicable course requirements. Where approval of a Head of Department or Course Coordinator is required, this should be gained prior to submitting a Variation of Program Form and attached to that fonn.

Advice on course requirements and procedures is available from the staff of the School Office - Enquiries to Room EA206, orfrom the relevant Course Coordinator.

Credit Points

1. The credit point value of a subject is intended to give a general indication of the total time required of a student undertaking that subject. The nonnal annual workload of 80 credit points may be taken to indicate that the total workload of an average student working at pass level is

16

\

approximately 48 hours per week. Thus a 5 credit point subject offered over one semester may be taken to indicate a minimum average worklOad requirement of 6 hours per week which includes course contact hours plus time spent by the student on assignments and other set work as well as general study of subject content. The ratio between contact hours and private study will vary between subjects according to the nature of the content studied.

2. The number of hours per week required by individual students will vary according to many factors including: academic background, personal ability, work/study techniques and the level of petfonnance the student wishes to attain in a particular subject. The general indication of 2 hours per week for each credit point in a semester subject is a guide to the minimum expectations of the Faculty -students will need to monitor and evaluate their own petfonnance in the light of this expectation and the results they obtain in particular SUbjects.

Timetable

3. Course programs are specified and timetabled by year.

4. Every effort will be made to provide for single day release attendance patterns in the first two part -time stages of each course. Timetable requirements may restrict selection of subjects in non-standard programs.

5. Students are not to enrol in subjects which clash in the timetable.

Prerequisites, Co-requisites and Assumed Knowledge

6. In addition to the subject pre-requisite, co-requisite and assumed knowledge requirements of individual subjects, a

SECTION FOUR

general understanding of the material in previous years of the course is assumed.

7. Students must satisfy the relevant pre-requisite, co-requisite and assumed knowledge requirements of each subject unless granted a written waiver of these requirements by the Head of the Department offering the subject. Students wishing to obtain such a waiver should make application at the scheduled Re-enrolment Approval Sessions in February. If requesting a variation of enrolment at another time, the relevant form should be obtained from the School Office beforemakinganappointmenttoseetheHeadofDepartment to discuss the proposed waiver.

8. Only in exceptional circumstances will pre-requisite, corequisite and assumed knowledge requirements be waived for students who have a W AM of 54 or less.

Adjusting Second Semester Enrolment

9. Enrolment in second semester subjects which require completion of first semester subjects to meet prerequisite, co-requisite or assumed knowledge requirements is contingent upon successful completion of the relevant first semester subjects.

10. It is the responsibility of students to apply to withdraw from any second semester subject for which they do not meet prerequisite, co-requisite or assumed knowledge requirements unless a fonnal waiver of such requirements is received from the Head of Department offering the subject concerned within the first 2 weeks of 'second semester.

11. A student who remains officially ernolled in a subject will receive a result in that subject. If a student ceases to attend classes but does not officially withdraw, the result will be Fail (FF).

12. Students wishing to add a second semester subject in place of a withdrawn subject should do so by 5 p.m. on Monday of the third week of second semester otherwise the Head of Department may refuse to pennit the addition.

Late Addition or Substitution of Subjects

13. Applications to add subjects after the 5 p.m. on Monday of the third week of the semester in which the subject commenced will be approved by the Dean only when submitted with the written pennission of the Head of the Department offering the subject. When considering arequest for late addition of a subject, the Head of Department will take into account:

• the ability of the student to catch up with work already completed in the subject;

• the effect that a late addition to the class may have on the work of students already enrolled in the subject; and

where a student has been attending the subject without being ernolled, the reason why the student did not ernol in the subject within the first two weeks of the semester.

14. A receipt for payment of any prescribed administration charge must be presented with any variation of program form requesting late addition of a subject.

FACrn. TY POLICIES

15. Note that dates are prescribed after which total semester workload may not be increased. This requirement prevents approval of the addition of a subject after those dates where total semester workload would be increased, even if the permission of the Head of Department is obtained. Students in doubt as to the requirements should consult the staff of the School Office before paying any prescribed administration charge or approaching the Head of Department

16. Addition or substitution of nrst semester subjects after 31 March and second semester subjects after 31 August will only be permitted by the Dean in exceptional circumstances and where the total semester workload of the student is not increased.

Non-Standard Programs

17. A non-standard program is one which includes subjects from more than one Year of the course program. While progression in each course offered in the Faculty of Engineering is by subject, the following rules apply to students wishing to enrol in a non-standard program.

18. Students are expected to complete subjects in the order given in the course program. A student undertaking anonstandard program should therefore include all uncompleted subjects from the lower year of the course. If a student withdraws from a subject, that subject is expected to be chosen from the higher year. The approval of the Course Coordinator is required for any departure from these expectations.

19. Applications for enrolment in the following non-standard programs will be approved without special permission being required.

• Anannual program of subjects prescribed for acombined degree program in which a student is enrolled.

• Inclusion of IndustriaI Experience subjects by part-time students.

An arutuaI program which follows prescribed Yearby Year transition arrangements.

An annual program of subjects for which all of the following apply:

'" all pre-requisite,co-requisiteandassumedknowledge requirements are met or written relaxation of the relevant requirements is submitted;

'" subjects extend over only two Years of the course;

'" all uncompleted subjects in the lower Year of the course program are included;

'" when undertaken by a student with a W AM of 55 or more, has a total credit point value not exceeding 85 with no more than 50 credit points in a semester; and

'" when undertaken by a student with a W AM of 54 or less, has a total credit point value not exceeding 60 with no more than 40 credit points in a semester.

20. All other applications for enrolment in a non-standard program must be approved by the Course Coordinator responsible for the course in which the student is enrolled.

17

SECTION FOUR

21. Discussions with the Course Coordinator normally take place at the scheduled Re·enrolment Approval Sessions held in February each year. At other times, an appointment should be made at the Office of the Department concerned.

Substitution of Subjects

22. The HeadofDepartmentorCourseCoordinatormay approve limited substitution of another subject for a subject listed in the course program where such a substitution is considered to be to the academic benefit of the student concerned. Approval will only be given where:

• Ute replacement subject is of the same credit point value as the subject(s) it replaces;

the requirements of the Regulations governing the degree program continue to be met; and

the overall program of study to be taken by the student is suited to the award of the degree involved.

23. Substitution will not be granted for Year I subjects.

Enrolment in Extraneous Subjects

24. Emolmentin subjects extraneous to the requirements of the course in which the student is enrolled will normally only be approved where the student is otherwise enrolled in all subjects required to complete degree requirements and has a WAMofat least 55. The total program attempted by such a student, including extraneous subjects, shall not exceed 80 credit points. The approval of the Dean is required for any application to undertake extraneous or non-degree subjects while a student is enrolled in any course offered in the Faculty of Engineering. The Dean may decline to approve any such application.

25. Note that the University may charge afee for enrolment in subjects which do not count towards degree requirements.

Appeals

26. A written 'appeal regarding any decision made under these rules may ee made to the Dean who shall decide the matter.

Undergraduate Performance and Progress These policies, known as the 'WAM Rules', were amended with effect from 1990 and now apply to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Computer Science, Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Surveying degree programs.

1. General

(1) The following policies are made under the powers vested in the Faculty Board, Faculty of Engineering, by the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees offered in the Faculty ofFngineering and variousB y -laws and Regulations of the University including, but not limited to, By-law 2.4 - The Faculties, the Examination Regulations, and the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress.

(2) In these Policies, unless the context or subject matter otherwise indicates or requires:

"annual W AM" means the weighted average mark of the results of subjects taken in a particular calendar year.

"course" means the total requirements as prescribed in these Policies and the Regulations GoverningBachelor Degrees offered in the Faculty of Engineering which, when completed, qualify a candidate for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Computer Science, Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Surveying;

"Course Coordinator" means Head of the designated Department or the Head of Department's nominee;

"Dean" means the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering;

"Degree Regulations" means the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees in the Faculty of Fngineering;

"Department" means a department of the Faculty of Engineering;

"Faculty Board" means the Faculty Board, Faculty of Engineering.;

"designated department" means the department identified as such in therelevant Schedule of the Degree Regulations;

"student" means a person enrolled in an undergraduate course offered in the Faculty of Engineering;

"Sub·dean" means a Sub-dean of the Faculty of Engineering;

"WAM" means the cumulative Weighted Average Mark. calculated in accordance with these policies.

SECTION FOUR

2. Reservation

Faculty Board reserves its right to consider each case on its merits and to amend its policies without notice as it judges to be properto maintain appropriate standards of attainment.

3. Assessment

(1) Assessment within each subject offered by a Department may take into account work in: assignments, reports, laboratory exercises, tutorials, class tests and fonnal examinations.

(2) Students will be infonned of the method of assessment to be adopted in each subject before the fourth week of lectures in that subject. TIris infonnation will include an indication of the type of tasks comprising the assessment and the proportion each task will contribute to the final result in the subject concerned.

It should be noted that the final result in a subject is not necessarily detennined simply by the addition of marks awarded for assessment tasks although the weightings of each task and class ranking will be maintained except where an application for special consideration is granted.

(3) In the case of subjects offered to students enrolled in any undergraduate course in the Faculty by Departments of the Faculty (and any department of another faculty willing to take part in this procedure), the result in each subject will be reported as follows:

Result

Marks in the range of

45% to 100% inclusive

Marks less than 45%

Other non-passing grades

Reported as

Percentage Mark

FF (Fail)

Grades approved by Senate for specific pUIpOses.

(4) A mark of 50% is considered to be the notional pass/fail level of perfonnance, however it is recognised that no matter how careful the assessment, an area of doubt may exist within 5% of that mark. Therefore, while a mark below 45% is a c1ear fail and a mark of 55% is a clear pass, percentage marks in the range of 45 to 54 are regarded as indicating that a student, whilst not performing clearly at a satisfactory level in the subject concerned, had nevertheless demonstrated sufficient understanding of the subject to proceed, provided other progress requirements are met, without repealing the material contained in that subject (see Policy 5 below).

Students should note that while results of 45 to 49 are (barely) acceptable in the context of the full requirements of a particular course in the Faculty of Engineering, they are unlikely to be considered adequate for full standing outside the Faculty of Fngineering. For example: a result of 48 awarded to a student enrolled in an engineering course in a first year physics subject may be considered for standing in the Faculty of Science and Mathematics at a Terminating Pass level but would not be acceptable for full standing.

FACill.TY POLICIES

(5) In the case of subjects offered by departments of other faculties, results may be awarded as grades (rather than percentage marks) in accordance with University By-laws and Regulations and the Policies of the Faculty Board.

4. Academic Performance

(1) The academic perfonnance of each student enrolled in an undergraduate course offered in the Faculty shall be measured by acumulative WeightedAverageMark(W AM).

(2) The W AM is calculated from the results of all subjects taken towards the satisfaction of Degree Requirements, except as provided in Policy 4.5 below, in the following marmer:

WAM

Where:

L(mvw)

L (v w)

m The Mark as defined in Policy 4.3 below.

v Thecredit point value of the subject concerned.

w The Weighting of the subject concerned as detennined under Policy 4.4 below.

(3) The Mark ('m') will be calculated as follows:

• Where the result in a subject is given in the range of 45 to 100 inclusive, 'm' is equal to that percentage mark.

• Where the result in a subject is a grade of FF, AF, EF or WF, 'm' is equal to 44.

• Where the result in a subject is a passing grade (rather than a percentage mark), the Mark (' m') will be deemed to be the relevant number listed below:

Grade 'm'

HD 93 D 80

C 70

P 58

UP 58

TP 49

• Where grades of 'I' are awarded the W AM will not be calculated until a mark or a final grade shall be awarded in that subject.

(4) Each subject shall have a weighting of 1, 2, 3 or4 as setout below.

19

SECITON FOUR •

(5) The following will be taken into account when calculating theWAM:

• Subjects taken in satisfaction of course Elective requirements will be considered to satisfy those requirements in the order in which they are taken during the course.

Subjects taken extraneous to Degree Requirements will not be included in the calculation of a student's WAM.

Students re-admitted to acourse after an absence for the previous academic year, will retain their previous WAM as the basis of future calculations.

Students pennitted to transfer from one course offered in the Faculty to another shall, provided the credit point value of the exemptions granted in the new course equals the credit point value of all subjects previously completed in the original course, retain the W AM achieved in the original course as the basis for future W AM calculations in the new course.

In all other cases, students admitted to a course shall commence calculation of their W AM from the year of their admission or re-admission, whether the y be granted exemptions or not.

(6) Attheconclusionofsecondsemester,eachstudent'sWAM shall be included in Ute schedule of recommended results presented to Faculty Board, included on each student's notification of results and placed on the student's academic record; except that should a grade of 'Incomplete'(I) be awarded to a student, the W AM will remain uncalculated until final marks or grades are awarded.

(7) Students may elect to repeat any subject in which they were awarded a result in the range of 45 to 54 or a grade of TP, or to enrol in a subject which replaced a subject in that category in the course program of the course in which they are enrolled. In such a case:

the subject originally taken remains part of the student's academic' record and continues to be included in the calculation of the student's WAM as before,

the repeated subject is included in the W AM calculations of the year in which it is taken.

if the student is awarded a failing grade in the repeated subject, the failure is treated in the same way as if the subject were attempted for the first time and the subject must be repeated.

Note Students will not normally be permitted to repeat subjects in which they were awarded a final result of 55 or more, or a passing grade.

5. Academic Progression

(1) A student who achieves a WAMof55 ormoreisconsidered to be clearly progressing at a satisfactory level in the course as a whole,

(2) A student who has a W AM of 54 or less at the conclusion of any yearis considered to be on probation forthe next year of enrolment in the course and in jeopardy of possible

20

FACULTY POLICIES

exclusionfrom the Faculty unless performance is improved sufficiently (see 'Unsatisfactory Progress' below),

(3) If a student withdraws without penalty from all subjects in which they are enrolled whilst on probation, the tenn of their probation shall be deemed to be extended to the following year of enrolment.

(4) Except as otherwise approved by the Course Coordinator, astudent on probation who wishes to follow anon-standard program shall not be pennitted to enrol in an annual program of study of more than 60 credit points of which no more than 40 credit points may be taken in either semester {also see the General Course Rules and Information above].

6. Unsatisfactory Progress

(I) A student on probation who fails to attain a W AM of 55 or more at the end of their probationary year and failed to achieve an annual W AM of 55 or more in that year, shall be deemed not to have maintained arate of progress considered satisfactory to the Faculty Board under Regulation 3(1) of the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress and shall be required to show cause as to why he or she should not be excluded from the Faculty under the terms of those Regulations.

(2) Students required to show cause under Policy 6.1 shall be advised of their rights to make representations either in writing or in person prior to decisions under Regulation 3(\) being taken.

(3) The Dean or Sub-dean shall determine the time and place at which persons required to show cause under Policy 6.1 may make representations in person,

(4) The Dean or Sub-Dean shall, after considering any representations made by students required to show cause under Policy 5.5 and the recommendation of the Headofthe designated Department, determine the action to be taken under Regulation 3(1) of the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress on behalf of the Faculty Board.

(5) A student who is required to show cause under Policy 6, I and permiUed to continue studies within the Faculty is considered to remain on probation and continues to be subject to the provisions of the Policies ofFaculty Board as would a student placed on probation under the provisions of Policy 5.2,

7. Satisfaction of Degree Requirements

(I) Students are considered to have passed the program of subjects approved by Faculty Board in accordance with the relevant schedule of the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees Offered in the Faculty of Engineering when they have both:

attained a result of 45 or more (or a passing grade) in each of the subjects comprising the relevant program of subjects approved by Faculty Board; and

attained a W AM of 55 or more at the completion of that program

SECfION FOUR

(2) If a student completes the relevant program of subjects but has not achieved a W AM of 55 or more, the student is not regarded as having passed the program of subjects to the satisfaction Faculty Board and is therefore ineligible forthe award of the degree.

(3) A student who is ineligible for the award of a bachelors degree under the tenns ofPolicy7 ,2 may repeat any subject in which they were awarded a result in the range of 45 to 54 (in which case the conditions of Policy 4.8 apply) or enrol in such other subjects not previously attempted as the Dean, on the recommendation of the Head of the designated Department, may approve until such time as he or she attains a W AM of 55 oris excluded under the provisions of section 5 of these policies.

8. Awards of Honours - Engineering and Surveying

(1) HonoursgradesintheBachelorofEngineeringandBachelor ofSwveying programs willnonnally beawarded by Faculty Board on the basis of agraduiUing student's performance in the course as a whole as measured by the W AM according to the following schedule:

Minimum WAM Honours

77

Class I

Class II Division I

Class II Division 2

(2) If a student was granted exemptions atthetimeofhis or her admission or re-admission to -a courSe offered within the Faculty, the record of that student upon which the standing or exemptions was based may be considered by Faculty Board inconnection with the detennination of the award of honours.

(3) A Head of Department may recommend to Faculty Board that a grade of honours be awarded other than that indicated by the W AM of the student concerned, or that no honours be awarded to a particular student. In such a case Faculty Board may either make an award of honours in accordance with the recommendation of the Head of the Department concerned or in accordance with the schedule contained in Policy 8(\).

(4) Faculty Board will nonnally recommend BE and BSUIV graduands who achieve a W AM in the order of 85 or more for the award of a University Medal.

Other Faculty Policies Honours in Computer Science

The level of honours to be awarded to candidates completing the requirements of the Bachelor of Computer Science (Honours) degree shall be determined by Faculty Board on the recommendation of the Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Progress Requirements for Combined Degree Candidates

StudentsadmiUedtotheBE/BMath,BE/BSc/,BMath!BCompSc and BScjBCompSc combined degree programs after 1990 shall

FACULTY POLICIES

be required to maintain a W AM of at least 65 or otherwise show cause as to why the Faculty Board should not refer their case to the Admissions and Progress Committee under regulation 4 of the Regulations Governing Unsatisfactory Progress with a recommendation that they beexcludedfrom continued enrolment in the combined degree program for a specified period,

This requirement will also apply to students admitted to the BE! BCompSc program after 1991.

Missing an Examination

Failure to attend a formal wriuen examination is a very serious matter. Students are expected to attend examinations unless prevented from doing so by circumstances beyond their control (see below)

Special Consideration

It is recognised that during the course of their studies, students may suffer from illness or other serious circumstances beyond their control which affect their preparation for or performance at an examination, University Regulations provideforstudents who believe that their performance in a subject has been adversely affected by such circumstances to apply for Special Consideration (also refer to the General University Information section of this Handbook).

Applications for Special Consideration MUST be made on the prescribed form. Forms are available from the Student

'Administration Office in the McMullin Building and the School Office - Room EA206.

As decisions can only be made on the basis of the information presented by the student, all available evidence should accompany each application. The medical certificate given on the prescribed form must becompleted wherean application is madeon medical grounds unless a more extensive medical report is presented which includes the information required on the fonn. Where a request for Special Consideration is made on the grounds of misadventure, all available supporting evidence should beattached to the application. In some cases, particularly where no written evidence is av~able, the submission of a statutory declaration will be appropriate. Statutory declaration forms are available from most newsagents.

Applications for Special Consideration should be made as soon as possible after the occurrence of the circumstances leading to the request but not more than 3 days after the final examination in asubject. When considering requests for Special Consideration it is the intention of the Faculty to take account of circumstances which adversely affect performance such that the performance of the student concerned does not reflect his or her true competence in a subject. In doing so, the Faculty will be conscious that any Special Consideration given should not disadvantage other students.

Enquiries regarding Special Consideration may be directed to the Faculty Secretary.

Further Assessment

A department may grant further assessment where it considers it appropriate to do so after considering a request for Special

.21

SECfION FOUR

Consideration or to resolve a doubt as to the appropriate result in a subject. Further assessment will normally occur shortly after the final examinatiooin thesubject concerned. Further assessments are normally undertaken:

in the case of irrst semester subjects, before the end of the fifth week of the mid-year recess; and

in the caseoffull-year and secondsemestersubjects, before the end of the first week in December.

In view of the provision for further assessment by departments, the Faculty Board does not normally award results of Incomplete (I); however, it may do so if it deems it appropriate to allow a further short period for further assessment. A student in receipt of a result of Incomplete should immediately contact the Head of the Department offering the subject concerned to arrange a time to undertake further assessment. All further assessment for fuUyear or second semester subjects should be completed by the second week of January.

Failure by a Potential Graduate

Where a student fails a single subject other than the final year project and is thereby prevented from qualifying to graduate, the Faculty Board may award a result of Incomplete (1) in that subject. Such a decision will not be taken until the results of all other subjects required to meet degree requirements are known. Thus a failure in a single first semester subject will be recorded as an FFunless the student has been enrolled in a program which was potentially sufficient to complete degree requirements in first semester. A result of FF given in afirst semester subject may be reviewed at the conclusion of second semester in the light of results obtained in the other subjects in that year and may be amended to 'I' if itis then the onI y subject required to meet degree requirements. All such further assessments should be completed by the second week of January.

Review of Results

Students may apply through the University Examinations Office for areview of finahesults in subjects (see the General Information section of this Handbook for details of the procedure and the fee involved). All requests for review must he made by this procedure. A review of results consists of a check of records to ensure that all work has been marked and all marks were correctly included in the result - it is not a remark of the work submitted. If considered necessary, students may attach a statement to the official request for areview detailing any facts believed to point to an error or omission having been made. Students may also discuss aspects of perfonnance in examinations with the lecturer concerned within a short period after final results have been published in order to gain feedback for educational purposes.

Submission of Final Year Project Reports

Meeting the deadline for submission of final year project reports is considered to be an important element of the subjects concerned. Departments within the Faculty have been requested by Faculty Board to adopt the following policies regarding the submission of fmal year project reports.

22

FACULTY POLICIES

The time for submission of fmal year project report will be set at 5.00 pm on a date (to be specified by the Department concerned) during the November examination period. This date is regarded in the same way as a final formal examination. That is, failure to submit the report at or before the due time is regarded in the same way as failure to attend a formal written examination. The result will be failure, subject to any other decision which may be taken as a result of a request for Special Consideration.

An extension of time for a submission, by way of an Incompletegrade(I)beingawardedinDecember, may only be granted in response to a formal request for Special Consideration made through the Secretary to the University (see Special Consideration policy above). As students are expected to anticipate some delay ordifficulties during the course of their project, Special Consideration will not normally be granted for circumstances involving less than 4 weeks loss of working time for the student.

Submissions presented by the due date but not up to final presentation standard, or which requireanacceptably small amount of additional work. may be granted a result of incomplete (1). Final submission of the report will then be required on a date (to be specified by the Department concerned) before the second weekof January. Project will not be awarded a result higher than 64.

Year/Stage Classification Full-time students are classified by year. Part-time students are classified by stage. Classification is detennined by the number of credit points passed in accordance with. the following table.

Full-time Part-time Credit Year Credit Stage Points Points

0-80 0-40

81-160 2 41-80 2

Students enrolled for the final year of any combined course will be classified as Year 5.

SECfION FOUR

Industrial Experience General

Students enrolled in Bachelor of Fngineering programs are required to complete a total of at least 12 weeks of practical work of a nature acceptable to the Faculty Board. This practical experience may be either gained during long vacations or as part of an Industrial Experience elective. The University can accept no responsibility fOrfinding employment for students wishing to enrol for Industrial Experience subjects orto find employment in order to satisfy industrial experience requirements. Students experiencing difficulty in obtaining suitable employment should contact the Uni versit y' s Careers and Student Employment Office.

Full-Time Students

Full-time students will normally gain their practical experience during vacation employment. Students should obtain a statement from their employer certifying the nature and period of the employment undertaken and retain the statement so as to be in a position to provide it when called upon to do so.

Part-Time and Sandwich Pattern Students

Students enrolled in the degree of Bachelor of Engineering on a part-time basis may choose to take Industrial Experience elective subjects as provided in the relevant course program. To be eligible for enrolment in an Industrial Experience subject, the student must be in approved employment on the 1 November preceding the year in which the subject is to be taken. This approved employment must continue for one calendar year, that is, until the 31 October of the year in which the subject is taken. Students enrolled in Industrial Experience subjects must attend such lectures and seminars, and submit such reports, as the relevant Head of Department may require. Nonnally enrolment in an Industrial Experience subject will not be allowed in the ftrst year of enrolment. Students attending on a 'thick' sandwich pattern should consult with the Course Coordinator before enrolling in an Industrial Experience subject. The successful completion of one Industrial Experience subject satisfies the requirement that students complete 12 weeks practical experience.

Exemptions in Courses

Students entering courses who believe that they may be eligible for exemptions on the basis of previous tertiary study should consult therelevant CourseCoordinatororthe Faculty Secretary. Evidence in theform of original academic transcripts and handbook descriptions of the content of the subjects studied should be provided.

Exemptions for TAFE Certificates

Faculty Board has approved the granting of exemptions to students enrolling in courses who hold certain TAPE Certificates. Theexemptions to be granted will naturally vary according to the TAFE qualification obtained, the course program in which the candidate is enrolled and the current requirements of that program. Details are available from the Faculty Secretary. Exemptions have previously been granted to holders of the following qualifications.

SECTION FIVE


About This Section This section conlains tM detailed hacMlor degree course programs which have been approved by Faculty Board in accordance with the Regulations Governing Bachelor Degrees in the Faculty of Engineering.

A guide is also provided to the various patterns of attendance by which courses may be completed.

Students are expected to be aware of all aspects of the Course Programandassociated requirements of the course in which they are enrolled. Attention is particularly drawn to the General Course Rules and other policies of the Faculty Board set out in the previous section of this Handbook.

Enquirit'!s fegarding course requiremenls may be directed to the Faculty Secretary or the Course Coordinator indicated in the course enlry concerned.

Guide to Course Attendance Patterns Course Programs are given in this Section for all bachelor degree courses. All students must complete the requirements of the relevant Course Program regardless of their attendance pattern.

The Faculty of Engineering offers a flexible array of attendance patterns which are designed to suit the individual needs of students. Each student may choose a pattern of attendance each year which suits them provided that academic progress is satisfactory and other course rules and requirements are met. The attendance patterns available are summarised below. Further enquiries may be directed to the Faculty Secretary.

24

Full-time Attendance

The great majority of students enrolled in the Faculty of Engineering attend as full-time students. Full-time attendance allows full concentration on course requirements during the academic year and is therefore the recommended pattern of attendance. Each course may be completed in a minimum of 4 years of full-time study. The criterion for classification as a fulltime student is enrolment in three-quarters or more of the normal full time program. Thus a student enrolled in 60 credit points or more is regarded as a full-time student.

Part-time Attendance

All or part of each Approved Program may be completed by parttime attendance. Part-time students will normally take two years for each equivalent full-time year. Although a 6 year pattern of attendance, of which the last year is full-time, is possible in the Chemical Engineering program.

The first two part-time stages of all courses are timetabled to permit a single day work release attendance pattern with some evening lectures. In the latter years of each course, attendance will be required at various times during the day depending upon the subjects in which the student is enrolled and the requirements of the timetable. Full-time study is recommended after Stage 2.

While each student enrolled in less than 60 credit points is regarded as a part-time student, there is no minimum number of subjects in which part-time students must enrol ineach year. Parttime students may also choose to enrol in Industrial Experience subjects and count these units as Elective units as permitted by the Elective Requirements of the relevant course.

SECTION FIVE

Sandwicb Programs

Each course may be undertaken on a 'thick' sandwich attendance pattern in which full-time attendance at University is alternated with full-time employment on an annual basis. This allows work experience to be undertaken in 15 month periods between Years I and II, Years II and ill and Years ill and N. Such a pattern would require a minimum of 7 years to complete degree requirements. Thenumberofyearsofworkexperienceundertaken mayvary accordingtothe needs of the student. As this attendance pattern does not require attendance at University when gaining workexperience,employmentmaybeundertakeninareasremote from the University thereby adding to the diversity of the experience which may be gained and increasing the opportunities to obtain work experience employment.

Students following this pattern MUST apply for re·admission to their course through the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) in September of each year in which they are not enrolled at the University. Re-admission will be automatically approved provided only one year of absence is taken at a time and an application for re-admission is made through U AC.

Tbe Traineeship Pattern

Some traineeships may continue to be offered on the basis of a part-time attendance pattern, however the following program is recommendedasthemostsuitablemethodofcombiningacademic course requirements with work experience.

Year 1 Stage 1 Part-time attendance at University plus vacation work

Year 2 Stage 2 Part-time attendance at University plus vacation work

Year 3 Yearn Full-time attendance at University plus vacation work

Year 4 Year III FUll-time attendance at University

Year 5 Full-time work experience-IS months (approx.)

Year 6 YearN Full-time attendance at University completion of studies.

A further 15 month period of work experience could be included between Years II and ill resulting in a 7 year minimum program.

This attendance pattern allows both the employer and employee a period of assessment in Stages 1 and 2. After completing first year studies, trainees are in a position to give their full attention to their academic studies in YearsII,ill andN of their course and to gain valuable practical experience during the 15 month period( s) of work experience. The length of the major work experience peri.od(s} makes it possible for the trainee to experience a full annual cycle of the operation his or her employer's organisation and to give full attention to participating in the work of that organisation. The length of the major period( s) of work experience also enables trainees to gain practical experience in locations outside Newcastle.


Finding Employment

While the Careers and Student Employment Office of the University will assist students to fmd employment to complement their chosen attendance pattern, the University cannot accept any responsibility fo~ finding appropriate positions for students.

Credit Point Transition

In the 1990 Faculty Handbook, courses were expressed in terms of credit points where 48 credit points was considered to be the nonnal annual workload. During 1990 this policy was amended to provide for an 80 credit point annual workload for all courses in the consolidated university. This decision was implemented with effect in 1990 with the result that subjects indicated to have a credit point value of 3 in the 1990 handbook were deemed to have a credit point value of 5 and subjects indicated as 6cp were deemed to have a value of IOcp; and so on. The course programs given in this Handbook are expressed in the new fonnat.

In the latter years of the course, attendance will be required al various times during the day depending upon the subjects in which the candidate is enrolled and the requirements of the timetable. Full-time study is recommended by the Faculty Board after Stage 2 (see the Guide to Attendance Patterns at the beginning ofthis section of the Handbook). However, students in Chemical Engineering may follow a program enabling the requirements of the Course Program to be met in a minimum of 7 years of part-time study. Details of this program are available from the Course Coordinator.

Transition Arrangements

The Course Program has been amended with effect from the COmmencement of the 1991 academic year. All students enrolled in this course or any combined degree of which it fonns part, are required to meet the requirements of the new Course Program.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING COURSE PROGRAM

The following equivalence between previous subjects and new subjects will apply.

Students who completedMA THI 02 in 1990 but didnotcomplete MATHI01 orMATHI03 may choose to take eitherMATHIII in Semester 1 or MA THI 03 in Semester 2 to complete the mathemalics requirements of Year I.

In order to provide for exceptional cases in transition, the Dean may determine the transition program to be followed.

Combined Degree Programs Combineddegreeprogramsareavailablewhichallowcompletion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in the Specialisation of Chemical Engineering together with the requirements for a degree of Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) and Bachelor of Science (BSc) (Chemistry Major). The subjects undertaken in theflrst year of study of each program are identical to thoserequiredin the Chemical Engineering program. Combined degree programs each require a minimum of 5 years full-time study.

Note thal students undertaking a combined degree program are altempting two distinct programs concurrently and therefore the annual enrolment required by such a program may exceed the normal annual load of 80 credit points. Also note thal HECS will becalculatedon the basis of the proportion which each individual subject counts in the program of the separale degree of which it forms part and not on the proportion it contributes to any combined degree program.

CIVll.. ENGINEERING COURSE PROGRAM


The Course Program has been amended with effect from the commencement of the 1991 academic year. All students enrolled in this course or any combined degree of which it forms part, are required to meet the requirements of the new Course Program.


Previous Subjects GEOL224 MATHlo\ MATHIOI and MATH102

New Subjects CIVL224 MATHlll MA THill and MATH1l2

Students who completed MA TII102in 1990but didnotcomplete MATH101 orMATHI03 may choose to take either MATH111 in Semester 1 or MA TH1 03 in Semester 2 to complete the mathematics requirements of Year I.



BE(Civil Engineering)/BSurv

A progmm which allows completion of the requirements of the BE(Civil Engineering) and BSurv is also available. The subjects undertaken in the first year of study of each program are identical to those required in the Civil Engineering program. The BEJ BSUIV degree program requires a minimum of 5 years full-time study. Admission to the program will begrantedaftersatisfactory completion of Year I of either program (that is a W AM of 55 or more).

Note that students undertaking a combined degree program are attempting two distinct programs concurrently and therefore the annual enrolment required by such a program may exceed the normal annual load of 80 credit points. Also note that HECS ~ll becalculatedon the basis of the proportion which each individual subject counts in the program of the separate degree of which it forms part and not on the proportion it contributes to any combined degree program. Timetabling constraints may limit the choice of optional subjects.

Application

Applications should be submitted in accordance with the instructions in the Re-enrolment Kit. The Faculty Secretary may beconsultedregardingapplicationdetailsandcourserequirements.

Other Combined Degree Programs

Combined degree programs may also be available which allow completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in the specialisation of Civil Engineering together with the requirements for another degree, for example Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) and Bachelor of Science (BSc). The development of an individual program which meet with the approval of the Deans of both faculties concerned will berequired.

The subjects undertaken in the first year of study of each program are identical to those required in the Electrical Fngineering program.

No~ that students undertaking a combined degree program are attempting two distinct programs concurrently and therefore the annual enrolment required by such a program may exceed the normal annual load of 80 credit points. Also note that HECS will be calculated on the basis of the proportion which eachindividual subject counts in the program of the separate degree of which it fonns part and not on the proportion it contributes to any combined degree program. Timetabling constraints may limit the choice of optional subjects.

Direct entry to combined programs may be gained via UAC by students who attain an aggregate of marks in the top 7% of the NSW HSC (or equivalent). Students may also apply to enter combined degree programs at the conclusion of Year I. Admission to either combined degree program requires a W AM of 70 for entry. Applications should be submitted in accordance with the instructions in the Re-enrolment Kit. The Faculty Secretary may be consulted regarding the course programs and application details.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING COURSE PROGRAM


A combined degree program is available which allows completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in the specialisation of Industrial Engineering together with the requirements for a degree of Bachelor of Computer Science (BCompSc).

Note that students undertaking a combined degree program are attempting two distinct programs concurrently and therefore the annual enrolment required by such a program may exceed the normal annual load of 80 credit points. Also note that HECS will be calculated on the basis of the proportion which each individual subject counts in the program of the separate degree of which it forms part and not on the proportion it contributes to any combined degree program. Timetabling constraints may limit the choice of optional subjects.

Direct entry to combined programs may be gained via UAC by students who attain an aggregate of marks in the top 7% of the NSW HSC (or equivalent). Such students may complete the program by a minimum of 5 years full-time study. The subjects studied in Year I of the combined program will be CIVLll1, COMPIOI, ELECI30, ELECI70, MATHI02, MATHI03, MECHlOI, MECHl1 I and MECHI21 (80 credit points).

Students may also apply to enter the combined degree program at the conclusion of Year I and will require a W AM of70 for entry but may require more then 5 years to complete the requirements of the combined program. Applications should be submitted in accordance with the instructions in the Re-enrolment Kit. The Faculty Secretary may be consulted regarding application details and course requirements.

Combined BElBSurv Degree Program

The combined degree program allows completion of the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in the specialisation of Civil Engineering together with the requirements for a degree of Bachelor of Surveying(BSUlV) degree in a minimum of 5 years full-time study.

Note that students undertaking a combined degree program are attempting two distinct programs concurrently and therefore the annual enrolment required by such a program may exceed the normal armualload of 80 credit points. Also note that HECS will be calculated on the basis of the proportion which each individual subject counts in the program of the separate degree of which it fonns part and not on the proportion it contributes to any combined degree program.

Students nonnally apply to enter combined degree programs at the conclusion of Year I. Students who have completed the first year of either the Surveying or Civil Engineering program and have attained a weighted average mark (W AM) of 55 for entry may be admitted. Applications should be submitted in accordance with the instructions in the Re-enrolment Kit. The Faculty Secretary may be consulted regarding application details.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTIONS

About This Section This section contains descriptions of the content of the subjects of!eredby thedepartmentsoftheFacultyofEngineering together with subjects offered by departments of other faculties which are included in the course programs set oUi in Sections 5 and 7.

Guide to Subject Descriptions Credit Point Value

The course programs offered within the University from 1990 require full-time students completing course requirements in minimum time to undertake an annual workload of 80 credit points. The credit point value of a subject thus indicates the workload of a subject as a proportion of anonnal annual full-time program. Similarly, the credit point value of a subject indicates the proportion of the annual HECS liability which arises from enrolment in that subject. Furtherinfonnation on the meaning of credit points is given in the General Course Rules and Information in Section 4.

The credit point value (cp) of each subject is indicated in each subject description.

Subject Codes

Each subject has been given a unique code (eg CIVL111). TIlls code identifies the subject within the University's computer system and should be entered on each form dealing with subjects. The alpha section of the code indicates the department responsible for offering the subject. The firstoumberin the code indicates the level at which the subject is offered (ie. 100,200,300,400 etc.) and, in the Faculty of Engineering, also indicates the W AM Weighting of the subject. The latter two numbers usually indicate the sequence of a subject in a stream of subjects or within a COurse.

Prerequisites, Corequisites and Assumed Knowledge

Many subjects have prerequisite, corequisite or assumed knowledgerequirements. Themeaningofthesetennsaredefmed in the relevant degree regulations. The prerequisite, corequisite or assumed knowledge requirements of the subjects described in this Handbook are set out in Section 9.

The head of the department offering a subject may waive the prerequisite, corequisite or assumed knowledge requirements of that subject. Students should obtain any such waiverin writing on the form available from the School Office and submit the completed form attached to any request for variation of program.

Examinations and Assessment

Refer to policies 3.1 and 3.5 of the Faculty's Policies on Undergraduate Performance and Progress published in Section 4 of this Handbook.

Students will be advised of the assessment procedures for each subject within the first 4 weeks of classes.

Contact Hours

The credit point value of a subject gives an indication of the workload required of a student as a proportion of the nonnal fulltime annual workload of 80 credit points (see General Course Rules and Information in Section 4). Contact hours vary according to the content and teaching requirements of each subject. In most cases, however, a 5 credit point engineering subject offered in one semester requires 3 contact hours per week. Scheduled contact hours are specified in the University Timetable.

Texts

The information on required texts available at the time of publication is included in each subject description. In most cases it is recommended that students purchase the texts specified, however, it is suggested that students consult with the lecturer concerned bef~re finalising the purchase of texts.

References

Information on reference material is not published in this Handbook. In the case of subjects offered by departments of the Faculty of Fngineering, the details of appropriate reference material will be supplied by the lecturer concerned. In the case of other subjects, reference material may be specified in the handbook of the faculty in which the subject originates.

Availability of Subjects

Not all subjects are necessarily available in each academic year. In particular elective subjects may not proceed if the department concerned considers that there is insufficient demand for the subject or if insufficient resources are available.

In September, Departments will indicate the elective subjects which the department intends to offer in the following year. Students requesting enrolment in these subjects should check with the department in the first weekofthe semesterto ensure that the subject that they have chosen will indeed be offered.

ECONOMICS SUBJECf DESCRIPTIONS

Economics Subjects ECONIOl ECONOMICS 1 20cp

The course is designed to introduce the student to the principles of economics. While emphasis through the course is on the theoretical underpirutings of economics the concepts afford significant insights into contemporary problems. The theoretical concepts developed will be used to address contemporary issues and problems. The fIrst semester will examine the principles of Microeconomics and their applications. Microeconomics is concerned with the rules of rationality for decisions made by individuals who wish to maximise their wellbeing, and the impact these decisions have upon the allocation of resources throughout an economy or society. Emphasis will be placed on contrasting theoretical conclusions with real-world praxis. The second semester is concerned with Macroeconomics. It will involve a study of the relationship between aggregates such as consumption, investment, employment, exchange rates, inflation and growth. Basic theoretical analysis will be used to explain policy alternatives and some of the problems involved in making appropriate policy decisions. The course will include a discussion of areas of theoretical controversy and provide some explanation as to why economists can advocate incompatible "solutions" to the same problem.

SCHEDULE OF SUBJECTS

About This Section This section contains the details o/Ihe subjects offered by the deparlmentso/the Faculty o/Engineering together with subjects offered by departments of other faculties which are included in the course programs set out in Sections 5 and 7. The content descriptions 0/ the listed subjects are set out in Section 8.

Guide to Subject Detail Schedule Subject Codes

Each subject has been given a unique code (eg CIVL111). This code identifies the subject within the University's computer system and should be entered on each fonn dealing with subjects. The at pha section of the code indicates thedepartment responsible for offering the subject. Thefirstnumberin the code indicates the level at which the subject is offered (ie. 100,200,300,400 etc.) and, in the Faculty of Engineering, also indicates the W AM weighting of the subject. The latter two numbers usually indicate the sequence of a subject in a stream of subjects or within a course.

The departmental indicators included in this Handbook are listed in Section 8.

Credit Point Value

The credit point value of a subject thus indicates the workload of a subject as a proportion of a normal annual full-time program. Similarly. the credit point value of a subject indicates the proportion of the annual HECS liability which arises from enrolment in that subject. Further information on the meaning of credit points is given in the General Course Rulesand Injormationin Section 4.

In the 1990 Faculty Handbook, courses were expressed in terms of credit points where 48 credit points was considered to be the nonnal annual workload. During 1990 this policy was amended to provide for an 80 credit point annual workload for all courses in the consolidated university. This decision was implemented with effect in 1990 with the result that subjects indicated to have a credit point value of 3 in the 1990 handbook were deemed to have a credit point value of 5 and subjects indicated as 6cp were deemed to have a value of IOcp; and so on. The course program and subject details given in this handbook are expressed in the 80 credit point annual program fonnat.

Semester Offered

Subjects rnay be offered in Semester I, Semester 2, both Semester 1 and Semester 2 (ie. the subject is repeated) or over a full year. The indications given in the Schedule are accurate at the time of publication but students should check final arrangements in the University Timetable.

Prerequisites, Corequisites and Assumed Knowledge

The schedule lists the prerequisite, corequisite or assumed knowledge requirements of the subjects described in this Handbook.

The meaning of these terms are defmed in the relevant degree regulations.

The head of the department offering a subject (indicated by the subject code) may waive the prerequisite, corequisite or assumed knowledge requirements ofthat SUbject. Students should obtain any such waiver in writing on the forrn available from the School Office and submit the completed form attached to any request for variation of program.
