Notes.
1. Students in the Honours program must enrol in CIVL4022 & CIVL4023, students in the Pass Program must enrol in CIVL4024 & CIVL4025.
2. With special permission from the Director of the Learning and Teaching, Civil Engineering, it is possible to take Honours Thesis A or Engineering Project A in Semester 2 and Honours Thesis B or Engineering Project B in Semester 1.
3. For core units of study offered by other than the Faculty of Engineering, any assumed knowledge, prerequisite and corequisite requirements will be as prescribed by the faculty.
4. Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Project Engineering and Management (Civil) are expected to complete all the core units of study (156 credit points). They are also required to gain at least 24 credit points from the third and fourth year table of electives listed below. The remaining 12 credit points required for the degree can be obtained from the list of electives below or from other units of study offered by the University of Sydney subject to approval by the Director of the Learning and Teaching of Civil Engineering.
5. Candidates commencing a combined degree program that is a Bachelor of Engineering in Project Engineering and Management (Civil) with Bachelor of Commerce are required to complete all of the core units of study in the above specialisation requirements except for ACCT1003, ACCT1004, which are not required, therefore only 144 credit points are needed. This total of 144 credit points is only sufficient to be awarded a Bachelor of Engineering in Project Engineering and Management (Civil) as part of an approved combined degree program. The remaining 96 credit points for the combined degree will be taken in the Faculty of Economics and Business. Candidates should refer to the Joint Resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Economics and Business.
6. Candidates commencing a combined degree program that is a Bachelor of Engineering in Project Engineering and Management (Civil) with Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Medical Science are required to complete all of the core units of study in the above specialisation requirements. This remaining 84 credit points should be taken from the relevant faculty unit of study subject to the Joint Resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering and the relevant faculty.
7. Candidates commencing a combined degree program that is a Bachelor of Engineering in Project Engineering and Management (Civil) with Bachelor of Laws are required to complete all of the core units of study in the above specialisation requirements except CIVL3010 and CIVL3813. The remaining 144 credit points for the combined degree will be taken in the Faculty of Laws. Candidates should refer to the Joint Resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Laws.
8. Most Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Computer Science units of study offered by the Faculty of Science can be replaced by equivalent advanced level units of study subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from the relevant department before enrolling.
