Bachelor of EngineeringAbbreviation: BE

Course code: N3ACourse contact: (03) 6226 2135This 4-year (minimum) full-time course is offeredby the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Thefirst two years of the course may be studied ineither Hobart or Launceston. The remainder ofthe course must be completed in Hobart.

Note: Students intending to study at Launcestonshould contact the School for advice prior toenrolling.

Admission & prerequisitesIf students are entering first year Engineering ineither Hobart or Launceston, they must have metthe University admission requirements includinga TCE Satisfactory Achievement (SA) result orhigher in Mathematics Stage 2 *MT841 andApplied Science: Physical Science *SC786.Although not essential for entry, students areencouraged to study additional TCE sciencesubjects such as Chemistry, Computer Science,Mathematics Stage 3, Physics, etc as they providea useful background for first-year BE units.A TAFE advanced diploma in Civil, Mechanicalor Electrical Engineering may be accepted as analternative prerequisite for admission to theBachelor of Engineering course with advancedstanding.Interstate or overseas qualifications, which aredeemed equivalent by the University, may also beaccepted.

Course objectivesThe objectives of the Bachelor of Engineeringdegree are:• to provide a sound basis in the physical

sciences, mathematics and basic engineeringscience in the first two years of study, alongwith some degree of specialisation;

• to provide, in the final two years of study,specific theory and practice in one of thespecialised engineering fields;

• to train students to a graduate level wherebythey meet the academic requirements foradmission to the Institution of Engineers,Australia and like institutions; and

• to produce well-rounded graduates who candevelop their professional and managerialskills in their places of employment.

The engineering degree is interesting andchallenging, requiring motivation andcommitment from the student. In its final stages,students work and become familiar with the verylatest developments in the various disciplines.

Professional recognitionThe Bachelor of Engineering is accredited by TheInstitution of Engineers Australia (IEAust) asproviding qualification for Graduate membershipof the Institution. It is also recognised in anumber of other countries such as UK and USAthrough agreements between the IEAust and likeprofessional bodies overseas.The computer systems engineering specialisation

– B-155


is also accredited by the Australian ComputerSociety for graduate entry.

Course structureStudents both in Hobart and Launceston take acommon first two years. This gives a breadth ofsubjects which enables students to select the areaof engineering to which they are best suited andin which they wish to specialise.The six broad areas of specialisation are:• civil engineering• mechanical engineering• electrical power engineering• electronics and communication engineering• computer systems engineering• mechatronicsThe standard routes of progression through eachof the four years to these specialisations areshown in the following Chart.A major feature of the engineering course is theemphasis placed on laboratory work; studentswill be required to write regular reports on theirwork. The design classes provide them withopportunities to learn the techniques ofdeveloping safe and reliable designs. In thefourth year, each student may undertake anindividual project which involves an analysis ofrequirements, feasibility study, and design anddevelopment usually resulting in a prototype. Forboth the laboratory and the design classes,extensive use is made of computers.

Engineering students are also required tocomplete a prescribed amount of industrialexperience work in the vacations. Where possible,the work experience placements are arrangedthrough the School of Engineering, and studentsare paid by their employers at the appropriateaward rate.

ArticulationIn certain circumstances the Faculty may grantstatus in units of the BE degree course to studentswho have completed equivalent work in otherinstitutions. All such cases are treated on theirmerits.Special admission conditions apply to theacceptance of some overseas students. Approveddiplomates of certain overseas polytechnics maybe granted advanced standing of up to foursemesters toward the four-year Bachelor ofEngineering degree.If students wish to specialise in other branches ofEngineering (eg Aeronautical, Agricultural,Chemical, Manufacturing, Maritime, Materials,Mining, Naval Architecture, Petroleum), it isgenerally possible for them to start their studiesat the University of Tasmania and later transfer toan institution offering the course. If this is thestudent’s intention, it is important that thestudents see the Degree Coordinator beforestarting their University studies as it may benecessary to follow a specially prescribed course.

Specimen courses

Specimen courses are outlined below. Studentsshould note that their choice of units shouldconform with the specimen courses, unlessotherwise determined by the Degree Coordinator.If students have previously attempted all or partof an examination they will not be permitted tocount units with overlapping content.

Policy on use of calculators in examinations

Engineers use calculators a great deal, and it isessential that each engineering student has acalculator.Because of the advantage that advanced (andgenerally expensive) calculators might give inexaminations, a uniform policy on calculators foruse in engineering examinations in the earlieryears of the course has been adopted. Only thefollowing types of calculator will be permitted infirst year engineering examinations: Hewlett-Packard HP32S, Sharp EL-5120 and EL-531GH,Casio FX-82 Super and FX-100S.Students should note that this list includes someprogrammable, specialist scientific calculators aswell as some more basic types. They shouldconsider their options carefully. Students takingunits taught by the Australian Maritime Collegein Launceston should note the particularcalculator requirements of those units.The list of permitted calculators will be kept asstable as possible, subject to the availability of thevarious models.

Specimen coursesThe revised first year, which was introduced in1999, and the revised second year introduced in2000, are common to all Bachelor of Engineeringstreams and may be studied at Hobart orLaunceston. The Launceston course units (exceptwhere otherwise noted) are taught by theAustralian Maritime College. Students intendingto study at Launceston should contact the Schoolfor information prior to enrolling.

Abbreviation: BE(Hons)

Course code: N4ACourse contact: (03) 6226 2135A candidate who has completed the ThirdExamination of the Bachelor of Engineering withsufficient merit will be invited by the Faculty ofScience and Engineering on the recommendationof the Degree Coordinator as a candidate for thedegree of Bachelor of Engineering with Honours.

Admission & prerequisitesAcceptance for honours is based on the value ofWAM3, a weighted average percentage markcomputed from the candidate’s results in theThird Examination of the Bachelor of Engineeringcourse (see Note below).

Course objectivesThe BE honours program exists to serve twopurposes. Firstly, it enables outstanding academic

– B-159


performance by students in the final two years ofthe degree course to be acknowledged. Secondly,and as part of this process, it requires the studentto perform and present a substantial piece ofwork by way of an investigative project, leadingto an oral presentation and a written thesisdescribing the work.

Course structureStudents enrolled in honours must undertake anindividual research and development project of astandard and scope appropriate to the degree ofBachelor of Engineering with Honours.The award of Honours is assessed on the basis ofthe student’s academic record. Assessment of theexaminations of the Bachelor of Engineeringdegree are described in Note. The class ofhonours awarded, which may be either first classor second class (upper or lower division), isbased on a candidate’s overall weighted averagemark (WAM).

Note 1

An Honours Index (HI) shall be computed fromthe candidate’s results in the Third and FourthExaminations for the Bachelor of Engineeringdegree according to the formula:HI = 0.08/3 x (WAM3 + 2xWAM4) + 0.02 xTHESISWAMn = S (Ms x Ws)/S WsWhere Ms is the percentage mark awarded inunits and Ws is the weighting for that unit givenin the Handbook of the year of enrolment.0.08/3 is a constant related to the WAMweighting.THESIS is the percentage mark awarded for thecandidate’s final year honours work, which mayinclude oral presentation, marks for progressreports and thesis report. A minimum of 60% inTHESIS shall be required for the award ofhonours.

Note 2

The School of Engineering will normallyrecommend to the Faculty of Science andEngineering the award of first class honours tocandidates with a HI of 7.5 or greater; secondclass (upper division) to candidates with a HI of7.0 to less than 7.5; and second class (lowerdivision) to candidates with a WAM in the rangeof 6.5 to less than 7.0. Candidates with a HI lessthan 6.5 would not normally be recommended forhonours.

The degree is available at Hobartand, subject to demand, the first year may also beoffered at Launceston. Honours requires one yearof additional study.

Admission & prerequisitesIn addition to satisfying the normal Universityadmission requirements, students entering firstyear Geomatics must have obtained a TCESatisfactory Achievement (SA) result or higher inboth Mathematics Stage 2 (*MT841) and PhysicalSciences (*SC786).If applicants do not have these prerequisites theyshould discuss their qualifications with thedegree coordinator.Interstate or overseas qualifications which aredeemed equivalent by the University may also beaccepted, subject to approval by the degreecoordinator. Prerequisites are currently underreview.

Course objectivesGeomatics is a term that describes a number ofclosely related disciplines. These includesurveying, spatial and geographic informationsystems, photogrammetry, remote sensing,geodesy and cartography. The name Geomatics,derived from the French term ‘sciencegeomatique’, has been adopted internationally todescribe the scope of the spatial informationsciences.In recent years, there has been an explosion ofideas and technology in Geomatics. Tools such asGeographic Information Systems (GIS), GlobalPositioning Systems (GPS), remote sensing,

image processing, and digital photogrammetryhave impacted dramatically, with GIS and GPSbecoming ubiquitous. For graduates choosing acareer in land surveying, these technologies willbe as important as the traditional instrumentssuch as the theodolite. For other students anunderstanding of these new technologiespresents a wide range of career opportunitieswithin the geomatics disciplines.The aim of the Bachelor of Geomatics is toprepare students for employment in vocationsrequiring a knowledge of the geomatic sciences.These include:• land surveying – measuring and defining

land ownership boundaries; spatial controlfor projects such as roads and bridges;

• spatial and geographic information systems– computer management, mapping andanalysis of spatial information;

• photogrammetry and remote sensing –measurement, mapping and data analysisfrom aircraft and satellite sensors;

• geodesy and geodetic surveying – science ofthe measurement and mapping of the earth’ssurface using terrestrial and/or satellite data;

• hydrographic surveying – measuring andmapping in a marine environment.

To achieve this aim, the course imparts tostudents:• an understanding of the scientific principles

underlying the geomatic sciences;• a knowledge of the way in which these

principles are implemented in currentsurveying and mapping technology;

• appropriate scientific analysis, problemsolving and design skills;

• appropriate communication skills;• a general knowledge of associated disciplines

that will facilitate communication andprofessional interaction; and

• an appreciation of the professional standardsand practices of relevant professionalinstitutions.

Career outcomesGraduates may find employment in a wide rangeof areas including spatial data management, landadministration, surveying and mapping,cadastral and engineering surveying, GISindustries, and geodetic agencies.The spatial information industry is experiencingstrong growth, with high graduate employmentrates expected to continue.

Professional recognitionThe Bachelor of Geomatics is recognised by theInstitution of Surveyors, Australia as providing

Sci




qualification for graduate membership of theInstitution. Corporate membership is grantedafter an approved period of professionalexperience.For registration as authorised surveyors by theTasmanian Surveyors’ Board, graduates of theLand Surveying stream must complete two yearsof supervised practical experience and pass theBoard’s oral and practical examinations. Thefourth year of the course counts towards theprofessional experience required by the Board.Graduates of the Spatial Information Systemsstream who wish to proceed towards registrationmust complete the coursework units from thefourth year of the Land Surveying stream.Further information is available from the degreecoordinator.

Course structureThe Bachelor of Geomatics may be undertaken ineither of two specialisations: Land Surveying orSpatial Information Systems. Each of theseconsists of four years of academic study,including a minimum of 20 weeks of professionalexperience in the final year. Students do not needto choose their specialisation until the final year.The course structure is outlined in the schedulewhich follows.

ArticulationStudents may be granted credit if they havecompleted equivalent work in other institutions.For example, students who have successfullycompleted the TAFE Associate Diploma ofApplied Science (Surveying) will be grantedcredit for 25% of the course requirements,including the units Geomatics 1 and AppliedPhysics.If students have 12 months or more ofappropriate work experience they may also begranted credit for the Professional Experiencecomponent of the course.

Note

Candidates for the degree shall pass all of theunits prescribed for either the Land Surveyingstream or the Spatial Information Systems stream.However, the Degree Board Chair may, with theapproval of the relevant Head of School, in aspecial case, allow a candidate to substituteanother unit for a unit which has been prescribed.

resource management. The course is of two yearsduration for full-time study or up to four yearspart-time.

Full-time students

The course runs for two calendar years. In thefirst year, students take the four courseworkunits. The major research project constitutes thework of the second year.

Part-time students

Part-time students may undertake the degree ona unit basis, project work being done in thestudent’s own time.Prospective part-time students are invited todiscuss ways of undertaking the course with theCoordinator.External Study is not normally available for thecoursework degree.

Admission & prerequisitesApplications for direct entry to the course areconsidered from those who have a suitabletertiary qualification or its equivalent. Applicantswith a university degree and substantialprofessional experience (a minimum of twoyears’ appropriate employment) are directlyadmissible, as are honours graduates andgraduates with a four-year professionalqualification. Diplomas and other such awardscan be counted towards the four-yearqualification. Applicants with a three yearbachelor degree are directly admissible providedtheir standard of achievement is acceptable to theFaculty. People holding other than universitytertiary qualifications are admissible subject toagreement by the Faculty that such qualificationsare equivalent to those directly acceptable.Students completing the GradDipEnvSt maycount their coursework towards theMSc(EnvMgt) degree provided they do not takeout the Graduate Diploma and their work hasreached a standard considered satisfactory by theCoordinator.To ensure entry to this course, application foradmission should be made as early as possible.Some students may be required to complete apreliminary reading unit. Such preparation isnormally done before the commencement of theformal teaching in the first year of the course.

Course objectivesSeveral basic assumptions underlie theUniversity’s program for the degree.• Those who frame the alternatives from which

environmental policy choices will be mademust necessarily make highly significant

value judgements. Public understanding ofadministrative decision-making will beenhanced when people are willing to makeexplicit the values underlying policyformation. Accordingly, emphasis is placedon developing a student’s sense of values.

• While the economic, social, cultural, legal andphysical aspects of any major environmentalpolicy problem can be distinguishedanalytically, these aspects need to be viewedtogether if policy-makers are to come up withworkable solutions. Therefore, the programstresses the need for integrative modes ofthought.

• The character of the solutions required fromenvironmental policy-makers is changingrapidly. Categorical solutions are no longerappropriate; more and more people arerecognising the interdependence of publicproblems. Thus, the solutions which policymakers provide must be integrative in anadditional sense. In order for governments tomake authoritative decisions, the aspirationsof competing institutions must be broughtinto direct relationship with one another sothat, through a process during which theseaspirations are modified, solutions whichhave a wide degree of acceptance areproduced. This acceptance must be achievedin stages during which the point of view ofall participants gradually changes. Inrecognition of the importance of theintegrative approach, the course preparesstudents for policy making through aprogram which stresses the multifacetednature of environmental problems.

Career outcomesThis course provides the knowledge and skillsbackground appropriate to careers withinenvironmental management, environmentalpolicy formation, and environmental education.

Course structureStudents taking the course attend the lectures,practicals, seminars and excursions and completethe projects and reading organised in four majorunits:• Environmental Planning• Environmental Technology• Ecosystems• Environmental ValuesStudents carry out a major research project on anenvironmental problem resulting in a thesis,sometimes as part of a multi-disciplinary team.The project provides for a practical involvementin the task of assessing and integrating results of

– B-199


studies conducted in diverse disciplines. Thus,this program stresses both ‘what to do’ and ‘howto do it’ in the context of value choices.There are five basic components: four courseworkunits and a research project thesis involvingproblem-oriented research, which can beundertaken as part of a multi-disciplinary team.The major research project component constitutesone half of the course.Students may take equivalent load postgraduateor undergraduate units offered by the School ofGeography and Environmental Studies or otherschools in place of one of the four courseworkunits, subject to approval by the Coordinator.
