2024 Enrolment Program Structure

For students who commence their study in this program from 1 January 2016 onwards, please note that some courses listed in this structure will have their course marks count toward your program's weighted average mark. Your weighted average mark will determine the honours level of your award once you have completed the program. If a course counts toward your weighted average mark, that fact will be stated in its course guide. In Enrolment Online, after you completed your course enrolment, you will be notified which of the enrolled courses will count toward the weighted average mark.

Year One of Program

If you are a student commencing first year of a higher education undergraduate engineering coursework degree from Semester 1 2024, the Engineering Professional Practice (EPP) module is a requirement for graduation.  

 

Exemptions: 

1. Students who commenced an RMIT higher education undergraduate engineering degree before Semester 1 2024 are exempt from undertaking the EPP module as a requirement for graduation but may opt into the module. 

 

2. Students who articulate with credits into higher year levels of an RMIT higher education undergraduate engineering degree in Semester 1 2024 and will graduate on or before 2026 are exempt from undertaking the EPP module as a requirement for graduation but may opt into the module. 

 

The EPP module is ongoing throughout your degree, providing continuous development and requiring you to complete 420 hours of engineering-related activities. The total hours can comprise a combination of work, volunteering, roles in clubs, organisations and events, and professional development activities.   

 

Completing the EPP module involves logging professional practice activities and providing a reflection response on learning to showcase your sound proficiencies in engineering knowledge, applications of engineering processes, professional skills and values that align with the competencies expected from a professional engineer in the workplace. 

The online dashboard to submit your activities will be available from March 2024 in the School of Engineering BEng Canvas shell here (student log in required)  https://rmit.instructure.com/courses/99581 

 

If you have not completed all year 1 of the program courses before the start of Semester 1 2023, you must ensure you complete the replacement courses listed below. To add any of the courses below, use the “Class search” tab and enter the Subject Area (Letters) and Catalogue Nbr (Numbers).

Year Two of Program

If you are transferring from BH126 Engineering:

If you are transferring from the BH126 Engineering program, you must complete these 2 courses from year 1 of the BH077 Civil Engineering program. You will not graduate without the completion of both:

  • CIVE1217 Engineering Economics and Infrastructure Planning
  • GEOM2088 Introduction to Surveying (formerly called Surveying Fundamentals). Use the class search tab in the Enrolment Online add classes section to add GEOM2088.

It is recommended that you enrol in one in semester 2 2024 and the other in semester 2 2025.

 

 

If you are transferring from the Vocational Education Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree:

Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Civil Engineering Design) C6162

If you have completed C6162 you should follow these enrolment plans for the semester in which you are commencing BH077:

You must complete the year 1 courses CIVE1217 Engineering Economics and Infrastructure Planning and OENG1206 Digital Fundamentals.
