Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)
Awarded by University of South Australia
Structure and Content
This is a Bachelor conversion program which allows polytechnic graduates with relevant industrial experience to upgrade their qualifications to the professional level of Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical). *Students with a recognised diploma plus relevant industrial experience of at least one year will normally be granted credit for the first two years of the program and the 0-unit course MENG 3007 Industrial Experience.
**Candidates with relevant work experience may apply for additional credit up to a maximum of 18 units for the four elective courses in the final year. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. To determine the amount of additional credit, students are to address the learning outcomes for four elective courses by submitting a detailed Industry Experience Report to the University. Those students who are granted less than the maximum number of specified credit (18 units) will be required to undertake additional units of study in order to complete program requirements.

- (Note 1) This is a Bachelor conversion program for polytechnic graduates with relevant industrial experience of at least one year. Students with a recognised diploma plus relevant industrial experience will normally be granted credit for the first two years of the program and the 0-unit course MENG 3007 Industrial Experience.
- (Note 2) Candidates with relevant work experience may apply for additonal credit up to a maximum of 18 units for the four elective courses in the final year. This will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Those students who are granted less than the maximum number of specified credit (18 units) will be required to undertake additional units of study in order to complete program requirements.
- (Note 3) To determine the amount of additional credit, students are to address the learning outcomes for four of the elective courses below by submitting a detailed Industry Experience Report. There may be exceptional cases where students have addressed learning outcomes relevant to the degree which may cross over several or none of these electives. In these instances the specified credit will be granted for Elective 1 or Elective 2.
