2898 Aims and overview The ANU Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree is a four-year undergraduate program accredited by the national professional body, Engineers Australia.  Its main aim is to prepare students for successful careers as professional engineering managers, designers, analysts, educators and researchers. The BE program is characterised by an interdisciplinary systems engineering approach that will enable graduate engineers to solve the complex engineering problems of the future. The traditional areas of electrical and mechanical engineering provide the foundations to this approach, and a compulsory core of courses in the systems engineering provides the skills and techniques for complex problem solving.  This is supplement by project work on real-life engineering problems. Courses in engineering management, finance and law are also included to produce well-rounded and multi-skilled engineering professionals. The ANU Engineering program is also underscored by technological trends that cut across the boundaries that typically exist between the traditional disciplines of engineering.  These trends are reflected by the engineering majors. They provide students with an opportunity to specialise in an area of strength or interest. The majors also reflect the research activity in the School of Engineering and are, therefore, an opportunity to engage with the cutting-edge areas that contribute to ANU's reputation for research-intensive education. The engineering majors currently offered are in the areas of: <ul><li> electronics and communications </li><li> mechanical and materials </li><li> mechatronics </li><li> sustainable energy </li></ul> A science major in photonics is also available through collaboration with the Department of Physics in the College of Physical Sciences. The ANU BE program produces graduates that will demonstrate the following generic attributes, as required for professional accreditation: <ul><li> a sound and broad knowledge of basic science and engineering;</li><li> the ability to communicate effectively with engineers and the general public;</li><li> in-depth discipline knowledge; </li><li> common sense, scientific and engineering knowledge to identify, formulate and solve problems; </li><li> a systems approach to engineering analysis, design, operation and management;</li><li> the ability to contribute to a multidisciplinary and multicultural team;</li><li> awareness of the social, cultural, global, environmental, legal and business aspects of engineering, including a commitment to the principles of sustainable development;</li><li> an understanding of the responsibilities of an inclusive and socially aware engineering professional, including a commitment to the Engineers Australia Code of Ethics, life-long learning and continuing professional development.  </li></ul> These attributes are engendered by the program structure that includes compulsory courses in basic science, engineering fundamentals, systems engineering, management, finance and law. The program of study is the same for all students in the first year, with specialisation starting in year 2 through the selection of courses from the list of engineering electives towards one or more of the majors. The teaching and assessment processes throughout the program also serve to develop the attributes listed above. There is a significant amount of project and design work, small-group teaching that encourages collaborative learning and problem solving, and practical laboratory work. The importance of written and oral communication is also emphasised. The final year of the program is characterised by a systems engineering group project and an individual project. The systems engineering group project is a capstone course that addresses a problem relevant to industry. It is an opportunity for students to apply the knowledge gained throughout their BE program and simulates as far as possible the experience of functioning as an engineer after graduation. The individual project is an opportunity for in-depth study in an area of interest with a research supervisor, and will foster individual attributes such as creativity, innovation and the ability to personally manage an engineering project. Students may specialise through their choice of Engineering majors and electives and other University electives. Students are encouraged to create a diverse program of study from a variety of engineering disciplines to take full advantage of the unique educational opportunities offered by ANU Engineering. New for 2010 is an Engineering Internship program. This is an opportunity to spend 3 or 6 months full-time in industry and gain real-life experience as an engineer. It is view by the School as an increasingly important part of professional engineering education. A flexible curriculum and assessment scheme has been designed for the internship program so that it can be integrated into the BE program. This means students can receive full credit for their internship and gain valuable experience without delaying their graduation. The Bachelor of Engineering Homepage: http://cecs.anu.edu.au/students/future/undergrad/BEng Practical Experience Engineers Australia specifies that students are required to complete at least 60 days of engineering work experience during the course through approved professional employment taken in the vacation periods. For details, see entry for ENGN3100 Practical Experience.

The Bachelor of Engineering degree with Honours Honours grades in the BE degree are awarded by the School of Engineering on the basis of a recommendation from the Head of Engineering and may be awarded with first class honours; second class honours, division A; or second class honours, division B. The awarding of honours in engineering is based on meritorious performance over the entire four-year program. The assessment of meritorious performance includes the calculation of an average percentage mark (APM), together with the consideration of the overall academic progress of the student and the Individual Project result. To determine the global APM, the first year average mark is weighted by a factor 0.1, and the combined average of years 2, 3 and 4 by a factor 0.9. The first year average mark is the average of the marks awarded in the following courses: ENGN1211 Discovering Engineering, ENGN1215 Engineering Science, ENGN1217 Introduction to Mechanics, ENGN1218 Introduction to Electronics, MATH1013 Mathematics & Applications 1 (or MATH1115), MATH1014 Mathematics & Applications 2 (or MATH1116), PHYS1101 Advanced Physics I, and COMP1100 Introduction to Programming & Algorithms.  The average mark for the remainder years is the average mark awarded in all the additional engineering courses (that is, having an ENGNxxxx code number) completed by the student, excluding ENGN4200 Individual Project, which is considered separately. ENGN4100 Engineering Honours In order to be considered for the award of a degree offered by the Department of Engineering, students must formally enrol in ENGN4100 - Engineering Honours, at the commencement of their intended final semester.
