Program Description

The Bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical) program and the Bachelor of Engineering program in Aeronautical Engineering have been designed so that a graduate with the Bachelor of Technology program may, under normal circumstances, articulate to the Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering program with 12 - 18 months of additional study.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The program objectives and learning outcomes for this program are identical to Bachelor of Engineering (Aeronautical Engineering).

Program Structure

The actual program will depend upon when the Bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical) was completed and the current Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering program. Please note that the options previously completed in the Bachelor of Technology program will not be available to the student in the Articulation Program and selection will be subject to the approval of the School Undergraduate Coordinator. Pre-requisite requirements will apply. If 48UoC are insufficient to satisfy the requirements of the BE Aeronautical Engineering program, the School Udergraduate Coordinator may require additional courses to be undertaken.

Academic Rules

1. Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students

A student must comply with the Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students. In the event of a conflict, the rules for the Bachelor of Technology take precedence over the Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students.

2. Degree Requirements

2.1 The degree of Bachelor of Engineering shall be conferred as a pass degree or as an Honours degree. In determining an Honours grading prior BTech results from courses (those that contributed to a standard BE (Aero) program) will be taken into account. Honours may be awarded in the following categories: Honours Class I; Honours Class II Division I; Honours Class II Division II.

2.2 To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Technology, a candidate shall normally be enrolled for a minimum of six sessions and gain a minimum of 144 units of credit (normally 24 units in each full-time session).

2.3 A candidate completing a Standard Program shall complete courses, in the years prescribed, as set out in the relevant schedule.

2.4 A candidate completing a Non-Standard Program shall, subject to the requirements of Rule 2.5 (below), timetabling requirements and approval of the appropriate Heads of School, be permitted to enrol in any one year in courses selected from more than one year of the relevant schedule.

2.5 Before a candidate’s enrolment will be accepted for any course, the candidate must have completed the relevant pre-requisite courses shown in the Course Catalogue, except where the Course Authority for the appropriate course approves otherwise.

3. Practical Experience Requirements

Before graduation a candidate shall complete 20 days of approved practical experience which must be done in one block with one employer. Such practical may incorporate the following Service training:

Service Training and Practical Experience Requirements

Service training conducted during the degree program is recognised as partially satisfying practical experience requirements in the following ways:

Naval Midshipmen: 30 days for experience gained at a defence establishment between second and third years. (Time at sea prior to commencement of study at UNSW@ADFA is not eligible for consideration).

Army Cadets: 30 days for the year spent at Royal Military College between third and fourth years.

Air Force Cadets: 30 days for prior experience gained at a defence establishment between second and third years.
