Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Petroleum, Civil and Structural)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Petroleum, Civil and Structural) 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, civil and structural engineering topics.
There is also a focus on management and business-related aspects.
This integrated structure makes the petroleum, civil and structural engineering teaching curriculum unique.
The first two years of the academic program are spent developing an understanding of the foundation subjects of petroleum, civil and structural engineering.
In the third year, these areas of study are further developed through an additional range of advanced topics.
In the fourth year, students put their civil and structural engineering knowledge into practice via major design, research and experimental projects, including a civil and structural engineering project.
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 based on previous study (e.
g.
students granted advanced standing/credit, students 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).
*Students who choose to complete a Civil Honours Project in addition to a Petroleum Honours project must undertake the following 3 courses C&ENVENG 3222 Research Methodologies and Project Management, C&ENVENG 4222A Research Project A and C&ENVENG 4222B Research Project B.
The courses must be taken in the order commencing in semester 2.
C&ENVENG 3222 is taken in lieu of C&ENVENG 3005 Structural Design III (Concrete) and C&ENVENG 4222A and C&ENVENG 4222B are presented in lieu of 6 units of electives.
Note completion of Part B is dependent on the completion of Part A in order for 6 units to count towards the program.
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.
