Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Petroleum and Mining)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum and Mining) builds a strong foundation of mathematics, physics, geology, geophysics, computer applications and engineering principles.
Over the course of the program, the subjects studied change from more general engineering topics to very specific petroleum and mining engineering-related topics.
There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects.
This integrated structure makes the petroleum and mining engineering teaching curriculum unique.
The first two years of the academic program are spent developing an understanding of the foundation subjects of petroleum and mining engineering.
In the third and fourth year, these areas of study are further developed through an additional range of advanced petroleum and mining engineering and geosciences topics.
In the fifth year, students expand their technical petroleum engineering knowledge and develop business skills such as economic evaluation and project management, and undertake a final year petroleum engineering project.
Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.

Some students may need to modify their enrolment base on previous study (e.
g.
student granted advanced standing/credit, student repeating previously failed courses).
EXTRA COURSE REQUIREMENT Students who have not taken SACE Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) will be required to enrol in MATHS 1013 Mathematics IM in semester 1, followed by MATHS 1011 Mathematics IA in semester 2 with MATHS 1012 Mathematics IB in Summer School to complete the Mathematics requirements at Level 1.
The satisfactory completion of Mathematics IM is in addition to the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).
ENGINEERING COMMUNICATION Unless exempted by the Faculty, all international students are required to take Engineering Communication.
At the commencement of study, the Faculty will advise which course is to be replaced by ENG 3003 Engineering Communication EAL.
COURSE AVAILABILITY^Check the course planner for course availability noting the availability of all courses is conditional on the availability of staff and facilities.
