Undergraduate High Achievers Program

Chief of Defence Force Student Programs (CDFSP)

Bachelor of Engineering in Aeronautical/Civil/Mechanical (CDF Students Program) - commencing 2006

The program extends the educational principles embodied in the BE to a higher level of the degree. In first year, students will be introduced to research in Engineering and will be offered significant extensions to the ideas and analysis performed in the standard degree program. This will allow them to undertake upper level research projects, at the appropriate level, in their later years, thereby, more fully integrating research into the standard undergraduate degree. In the individual research projects, students will work in close association with academic staff on research topics of mutual interest that underpin the program and give the students the ability to develop their full academic potential.

Duration: 4 years

Entrance requirements: The minimum Tertiary Entrance Index would be equivalent to a UAI of 98. At the discretion of the Head, BE students could transfer to the BE(CDF) upon completion of 24 units of credit with an overall WAM of 80 or greater. BE(CDF) students must normally maintain a WAM of 75 or higher to remain in the program.
