    Units

    Students are required to complete the units below, which include all core units in your course and units within your chosen major.

    Level 1 - Trimester 1

  • Academic Integrity Module (0 credit points)
    DAI001
  • Career Tools for Employability (0 credit points)
    STP010
  • Introduction to Safety and Project Oriented Learning (0 credit points)
    SEJ010
  • Laboratory and Fieldwork Safety Induction Program (0 credit points)
    SLE010
  • Introduction to Functions, Relations and Graphs (#)
    SIT190
  • Sustainable Design (core)
    SET111
  • Applied Algebra and Statistics (core)
    SIT199
  • Engineering Physics (core)+
    SEB101

    • Plus 1 elective (one credit point)

    Level 1 - Trimester 2

  • Chemistry for the Professional Sciences *
    SLE155
  • Global Environmental Systems
    SEV101
  • Introduction to Mathematical Modelling (core)
    SIT194
  • Introduction to Programming for Engineers (core)
    SEP105

    • * This unit has an assumed strong knowledge of Chemistry. Students without VCE Chemistry 3 and 4 or an equivalent are strongly encouraged to undertake

  • Chemistry in Our World
    SLE133
    • in Trimester 1 (prior to SLE155 Chemistry for the Professional Sciences)

    Molecular science is integral to modern environmental engineering. For this reason, knowledge of chemistry is important for all students in the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) course. Students who have a weak or no knowledge of year 12 Chemistry should study SLE133. Students who have a strong knowledge of Chemistry may proceed directly to SLE155, and choose an elective later in the degree.

    SEJ446
  • Infrastructure Engineering
    SEN770

    • Plus one (1) elective (one credit point)

    ^ Must have successfully completed STP010 Career Tools for Employability (0 credit point unit)

    # Students who have not completed Mathematical Methods (or equivalent), will be required to undertake the unit SIT190 in the first trimester of their Engineering course.

    ~ It is recommended students undertake SEJ441 and SEJ446 in consecutive trimesters.

    + Students enrolled online for these units are required to attend campus mode conducted activities during the corresponding Intensive Activities in a trimester. Attendance at campus mode activities is linked to assessment requirements within the Engineering programs, failure to attend will result in not meeting the hurdle requirement of the respective assessment. Thus, a fail grade shall be awarded for the respective affected unit(s) for that particular trimester.
