The program is administered by the Bachelor of Engineer- ing/Bachelor of Applied Science Joint Degree Executive Commit- tee hereinafter referred to as the "Joint Degree Committee".
The Administrator of the Joint Degree Committee sha 11 be the designated senior academic in charge of the course, herein- after referred to as the "Administrator".
In these rules, unless otherwise indicated by the context,
"Schools" and "Academic Boards" will refer to both the School of Computing Studies and the School of Engineering and their respective Academic Boards; where reference is made, in these or other Institute rules, to Head of Department it shall be deemed to refer to the Administrator of the Joint Degree Committee.
The following rules relate to the Double Degree of Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Applied Science (Electronic Systems and Computing) and are made by resolution of the Institute Council:
1. Entry
(a) Normal Entry
To be eligible to enrol for the Bachelor of Engi- neering/Bachelor of Applied Science (Electronic Systems and Computing) course, an app 1 i cant sha 11 have attained
either a tertiary entrance score of 810 or better,
~
(i) a minimum of fourteen points in each of the Board subjects English, Physics and Chemistry and thirty-two points in the Board subject Mathematics, with a total of at least eighty points in these subjects.
or
(ii) a minimum of Sound Achievement over the four semester units of the Board subjects English, Physics and Chemistry and the eight semester units of the Board subject Mathematics.
In both cases (i) and (ii), the Mathematics subject must include units I, II and Ill (Social Mathematics or Mathematics in Society is not acceptab 1 e) and, for those applicants who completed Senior prior to 1979, the units VIII and XI must also be included.
or, for those applicants who have taken the external Senior Examination, a total score of at least twenty points, with a minimum in each subject of four points, in English, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics
I and Mathematics II.
(b) Special Entry
Students who do not meet the entry requirements for normal entry as in (a) may make application to the Admissions Committee for special consideration for admission to the course, presenting documentary evidence of qualifications and experience and any other relevant information.
2. Enrolment

(c) (i) A pre-requisite subject is a subject which must be passed before attempting a subject for which it is pre-requisite.
(ii) A co-requisjte subject is a subject which, if not previously passed, must be attempted concurrently with the subject for which it is co-requisite.
(iii) A repeat pre- or co-requisite, designated by the postscript [R], is a pre- or co-requisite subject that must have been attempted, but not
ne~essarily passed, to satisfy the pre- or co-requisite condition, A student is deemed to have attempted a subject if enro 11 ed in the subject and a 11 assessment requirements of the subject have been at- tempted.
Pre- and co-requisite conditions on-all subjects in
the course are listed in Section 17.
( d) Except with the permission of the Administrator, students may not enrol in subjects whose total hours exceed the hours in the appropriate normal course program for the semester from which the majority of the subjects have been selected.
(e)
Unre~isteredStudents. A person may apply to study any rndivi dual subject as an unregistered student, That person may be permitted to enrol, subject to course entry, pre- and co-requisite conditions provided that there are vacancies in the subject and under the Rules Relating to Unregistered Students.
(f) Notwithstanding the above rules on enrolments, where a student enrols in a program which differs from the appropriate normal course program the Administrator may vary that program on consideration of the students' advantage in completing the course.
3. Employment
All students shall have engaged in at least a total of 15 weeks in emp 1 oyment approved by the Administrator to satisfy the Vacation Practice requirements of the course.
To gain approval for the employment, the student must submit a description of employment to the Administrator, on the appropriate Industrial Experience Record form completed by both the student and employer,
4. Assessment
(a) The form of assessment includes formal semester and deferred examinations, written tests, assignments, practical work and reports, design and project work with reports and oral tests, according to the subject. Where an examiner considers that the normal semester assessment is insufficient to determine the student's grade, further assessment, which may be in the form of a supplementary examina- tion or other test, may be required. A student who is required to undertake further assessment should ascertain from the Administrator the nature of the extra assessment.
(b)
A student who fails to attend 80% of the total instruction in any subject, including compulsory field trips as detailed in subject synopses, or who fails to submit 80% of all practical or assignment work, may be deemed by the Administrator as ineligi- ble to sit for the semester examination.
S. Honours
The Bachelor of Engineering degree may be awarded with
First Class, Second Class Division A or Second Class
Division B Honours or as a Pass Degree. Candidates for
the award with Honours must fulfil the requirements of
the Pass degree and achieve such standards of excellence
in prescribed subjects of the double degree course as
may, from time to time, be determined by the Engineering
Academic Board and approved by the Academic Assembly,
6. Exemptions
{a) Rules relating to exemptions are detailed under
"Rules Relating to Student Matters". In special circumstances the Joint Degree Committee may waive these rules on consideration of written application to the Registrar.
{b) For a registered student to obtain an exemption in a subject by studying an equivalent subject elsewhere, prior approval must be obtained by written applica- tion to the Registrar.

Students must comply with any particular safety require- ments in respect to dress that may be applicable to such visits and in the use of laboratories and workshops.
8. Course Structure
To be awarded the Double degree of Bachelor of Engineer- ing/Bachelor of Applied Science (Electronic Systems and Computing) a registered student must complete to the satisfaction of the Academic Boards the following sub- jects and other work.
