This 11 months program will provide students with the opportunity to pursue a degree in Engineering that will lead to a career in a discipline of Engineering or related area. Students will complete a set of courses in one of 5 streams of study. Successful completion of each stream will satisfy the first year requirements for various discipline majors or specialisations in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program at UNSW Sydney, and students will be granted credit towards an undergraduate degree for equivalent courses. In this Diploma program students will be able to experience a university environment and university life, while being supported to acquire all of the knowledge and skills needed for successful transition to undergraduate studies at UNSW. Students receive a solid background in science through their science courses, while the engineering courses provide them with the opportunity to engage in real-life situations including the design and construction of engineering prototypes. The courses in this program have been designed to be equivalent in content and outcomes to first year UNSW courses but the pace is slower and the face-to-face contact hours are greater. The course structure allows students to get accustomed to University learning styles - in Lectures, Laboratories, and Problem-Solving Workshops - while receiving additional support as required for the duration of the Diploma. After successful completion of a stream of nine courses, students will receive credit (advanced standing) for first year of a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and they will progress into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) to pursue studies in their choice of a number of allied areas. Program Structure Students must complete 54 UOC as a standalone program. 1. Communication and Academic Literacy Core Course (6 UOC) 2. Core Courses (30 UOC) 3. Prescribed Electives (18 UOC)
