Recognition of formal and non-formal learning Credit may be awarded to a student for formal learning (gained through full or partial achievement of an accredited qualification or course) or non-formal learning (that takes place through a non-accredited course or program of learning) completed at Southern Cross University or in other learning settings in Australia and/or overseas. To help you identify how much credit you may receive for your related prior learning visit SCU Pathways. An application for advanced standing must be submitted so we can assess your prior learning. Please apply for advanced standing at the same time as you apply for admission into this course, because the amount of credit awarded will determine the sequence of units you will study. course structure MySCU is a student's point of entry to a range of online services and resources that support study and student life. The portal includes unit learning sites and information sites where students can access resources, communication tools and useful links that are integral to their studies. The web-based study environment Blackboard Learn delivers an advanced online learning environment for students and lecturers to communicate and collaborate through virtual meeting spaces, classrooms, and discussion boards. They can share files, presentations and applications. If a tutorial or lecture is recorded, students can view it afterwards. Learning materials include the provision of unit information guides, study guides and readings. Students may need to purchase or access prescribed text books. The SCU Library provides a wide range of services that include face-to-face and online help, and access to print and electronic resources. To find out more, see the Library Toolbox. The Academic Skills team supports student learning by offering online and on-campus academic skills workshops, email, phone, and one-on-one support.

Table of contents Course requirements Advanced standing Schedule of units Course progressions Course requirements To be eligible for the award of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering a candidate shall successfully complete the equivalent of thirty-two (32) units (384 credit points) comprising: all units listed in Part A; and two (2) units from Part B and additionally complete at least 60 days of industrial experience of a nature acceptable to the Course Coordinator. Class of Honours A candidate may on the recommendation of the Course Coordinator be awarded Honours with one of the following merit descriptors: First Class Honours Second Class Honours – Division I Second Class Honours – Division II Merit Descriptors The following criteria shall be satisfied to obtain a particular merit descriptor: First Class Honours: a Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) of at least 6.0 and a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 6.0 in both units Engineering Thesis I and Engineering Thesis II Second Class Honours – Division I: a Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) of at least 5.5 and a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 5.5 in both units Engineering Thesis I and Engineering Thesis II Second Class Honours – Division II: a Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) of at least 5.0 and a Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 5.0 in both units Engineering Thesis I and Engineering Thesis II A student with a Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) of less than 5.0 shall not be eligible for a merit descriptor. Weighted Grade Point Average Calculation The Weighted Grade Point Average (WGPA) shall be calculated according to the formula: WGPA = {Summation of (Grade Point x Credit Value x Weighting)}/{Summation of (Credit Value x Weighting)} where: Grade Point = achievement value assigned to a unit grade (non-graded units, interim notations and advanced standing shall not be included in the WGPA calculation); Credit Value = number of credit points awarded for the completion of a unit of study; Weighting = 1 for a unit listed in Year 1 of the Course Progression, 2 for a unit listed in Year 2 of the Course Progression, 3 for a unit listed in Year 3 of the Course Progression, and 4 for a unit listed in Year 4 of the Course Progression; and WGPA calculations shall be based on results for the first attempt at each unit in the course.
