Program Description
In Year 1 of the program, students will be engaged with cohort activities so as to develop and maintain their interest and continuing involvement in the program via invited lectures, seminars, general reading and social events. Commencing in Year 2, the research projects, each offered as separate courses, will be supervised by academic staff from the same or closely related discipline. Students in the research courses may work independently or as part of a team, depending on the nature of the project undertaken, though all students will submit individual assessment. Final assessment, due by the end of session, will be based on a written paper and an oral presentation.
The Program is of three years duration, and is awarded as a pass degree. There is provision for students who have completed the BTech to upgrade it to a BE degree in Aeronautical Engineering by undertaking at least 18 months further study at a later stage.
The Programs is in the process of being accredited by Engineers Australia.

Academic Rules
1.1 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 To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Technology (CDF), a student shall normally be enrolled for a minimum of eight sessions and gain a minimum of 144 UOC (normally 24 UOC in each full time semester).
2.2 A student completing a Standard Program shall complete courses, in the years prescribed, for all engineering students and those pertaining to one particular branch of engineering as set out in the relevant schedule.
2.3 A student completing a Non-Standard Program shall, subject to the requirements of Rule 2.5 (below), timetabling requirements and the 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.
2.4 Before a student's enrolment will be accepted for any course, the student must have completed the relevant pre-requisite courses shown in the Course Catalogue, except where the Course Authority for the appropriate course approves otherwise.
2.5 A student for enrolment for the degree of Bachelor of Technology (CDF) shall hold an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) or equivalent, of no less than 98.
2.6 To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Technology (CDF), a student shall normally achieve a sessional Weighted Average Mean (WAM) of 85.
2.7 Normally, a student who does not comply with the requirements of Rule 2.7 (above) shall be transferred to student for the degree of Bachelor of Technology. Such review will occur at the end of each semester.
2.8 A student for the degree of Bachelor of Technology may, at the discretion of the Head of School, transfer to the degree of Bachelor of Technology (CDF) upon completion of 24 UOC with a WAM of 80 or greater in semester 1 or 2 of the Year One program.
2.9 Rule 2.8 above shall not normally be invoked for students with Potential Graduand status.
3. Practical Experience Requirements
3.1 Before graduation a student shall complete 20 days of approved practical engineering experience which must be done in one block with one employer.

Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students
1. Meeting degree requirements
1.1 To be eligible to graduate, a student must comply with the Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students and specific program rules.
1.2 Every student must complete courses as part of their degree. The requirements of a course will be outlined by its course convenor.
1.3 A student will be prevented from enrolling in a course if they have not met the prerequisites specified.
1.4 Each course completed or granted as credit towards a program may be counted towards only one major in that program.
2. Multiple enrolment
2.1 No student will be admitted into a UNSW program without the approval of the relevant Head of School if they are already enrolled in another program of study at any tertiary institution.
3. Study required per UOC
3.1 25-30 hours of work(over a 13 week teaching period) including face-to-face teaching sessions and private study time, is expected for 1 UOC per session (e.g. 150-180 hours of study is expected for a 6 UOC course).
4. General Education requirement
4.1 All UNSW Canberra programs include 12 UOC of General Education courses.
4.2 All ZGEN courses are worth 6 UOC and are offered each semester. If students wish to undertake more than 12 UOC of ZGEN courses they may select an additional ZGEN course/s as upper-level free electives.
4.3 Students must select one General Education course from each of the following groups:
Group 1 ZGEN2222 Introduction to Strategic Studies OR ZGEN2801 Leadership and Management;
and
Group 2 ZGEN2240 Introduction to Military Ethics OR ZGEN2215 Law, Force and Legitimacy.
5. Limit of Pass Conceded (PC)
A student cannot be awarded more than 18 UOC for PCs.
6. Limitation on enrolment each semester
In any session, a student cannot enrol in more than 30 UOC without the approval of the Registrar's Nominee (Manager, Student Administrative Services).
7. Credit Cancellation Period
No units of credit shall count towards any award at undergraduate level if ten or more years have elapsed since a candidate accumulated the units of credit.
8. Credit for previous study
8.1 Credit may be granted on the basis of previous studies at a recognised tertiary institution provided a Credit for Previous Study form is submitted and approved within the credit cancellation period.
8.2 If a student believes their previous studies and/or work experience have given them the knowledge and skills taught within a core course, but they have not completed suitable studies at a recognised tertiary institution, they may seek approval from the relevant program authority to substitute this course for one outside their degree rules.
9. Variation of program or course requirements
Upon sufficient cause being shown, the Presiding Member, Academic Board may, in special cases, vary the requirements of the degree rules provided that any proposed variation shall be initiated by a recommendation from the relevant Head of School and the Registrar's Nominee.
