English language entry requirements

In addition, international students who speak English as a foreign language must have obtained one of the following standards within the last two years prior to admission. Possession of one or more of these qualifications, in addition to the academic entry requirements, does not, in itself, guarantee a place at the University of South Australia. Applications are considered on an individual basis and selection is competitive. Where previous study/work experience was conducted in English, the application must be accompanied by certified documentation from the educational institution/employer certifying that the language of instruction/employment was English.

Aim

This program aims to provide graduates with skills in engineering design, manufacturing technology, industrial automation, and computer aided engineering up to the level of engineering technologist as recognised by the Institution of Engineers Australia.

Content & Structure

The early years of the program focus on the basic engineering and physical sciences, communication, the role of the engineer in society and manufacturing practices. In the final year, studies include the application of new technologies in manufacturing, manufacturing processes, design of products and manufacturing systems and manufacturing management. The Bachelor of Technology requires completion of 108 units.

Rules & notes

Notes

1. It is a requirement of Engineers Australia that students complete a minimum period of 12 weeks of industrial experience in a relevant industry prior to graduation. Assessment in the course Industrial Experience will remain incomplete until the student submits a written report and receives a pass.

2. This program includes an elective course. A list of elective courses is available from the UniSA website via http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/programs. The selection will be subject to availability and satisfaction of pre-requisite requirements.

3. Students may choose specialist electives subject to availability and having undertaken prerequisite courses. Depending on demand, not all courses are offered in any one year. Students may choose other available courses as specialist electives subject to approval by the Program Director.

4. Students with a GPA 5.0 or higher during the first two years of the program will be eligible to articulate to the Bachelor of Engineering program at the conclusion of the second year of the program provided they have taken as Specialisation Elective 1 either MATH 1064 Mathematical Methods for Engineers 2, MATH 2009 Engineering Modelling, MENG 2008 Mechanics of Machines, MENG 4010 Engineering Maintenance or MENG 4004 Fluid and Energy Management Practice, and during the third year they take the remainder of these electives and omit the Mechanical Engineering Project 1A. This then brings them into line with the first three years of the Bachelor of Engineering program.
