Please note - Swinburne University of Technology

A Supplementary Program in laboratory and project
components will not be available and therefore the
student must have satisfied the practical laboratory and1
or project requirements for any subject for which
enrolment in the Supplementary Program is being
considered.
Subjects offered by the other Divisions will be bound
by the rules of those teaching Divisions.
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure they enrol
and complete the requirements of the supplementary
assessment.
1.3 Exclusion
If in any semester a student fails all subjects or fails
any subject(s) being repeated, then that student will
be excluded from further study in the Division.
In addition, a student who passes only one or two
subjects, may be excluded.
Excluded students will be permitted to appeal to the
Courses Committee. The appeal must be in writing and
students may be required to appear before the Courses
Committee. At least five working days notice will be
given of the closing date for submissions to reach the
Manager, Administration.
If the student makes no appeal to the Committee by
the due date or if the Committee after considering an
o
1. appeal does not rescind the exclusion, the student will
not be permitted to undertake further study in the
2 Division without making formal application for
0,
readmission and no application will be considered until

w Regulations. Such an action is a major infringement of

a the University's academic values. It is essential that
u students understand that plagiarism or cheating shall be
$. considered to have occurred if:

a computer program substantially written by someone
else (either another student, a previous student or the
author of a publication) is presented as the student's own
work;
paragraphs, and even sentences in essays which are
written by someone else are not enclosed in quotation
marks, and accompanied by full reference to source;
work of someone else is paraphrased, and is not
appropriately attributed and referenced;
laboratory results of someone else are used without
appropriate attribution;
laboratory results are altered with the intent to deceive.
3. Interpretation
Nothing in these regulations shall be interpreted as
contravening the Assessment Regulations of the
Academic Board.
Engineering
Feeder courses
An arrangement exists with LaTrobe University College of
Northern Victoria, Bendiqo which enables students to
undertake part of a ~wi6burn engineering degree course at
Bendigo. The equivalent of the first two years of the courses in
manufacturing, mechanical and electrical engineering are
currently available at Bendigo.
Students who complete these stages successfully are able to
transfer to Swinburne with full credit. There is provision for
students who commence their engineering studies at Bendigo
to undertake the two six-month industrial experience
components of their course in Bendigo.
Women in Engineering
Women are still a minority in engineering courses and the
workforce. The Division of Science, Engineering and Design
actively encourages women to choose engineering as their
career and provides them with opportunities to form networks
with other female students within the course and female
practising engineers.
Many women who become engineers enjoy the variety of
career opportunities that engineering opens to them and
aspects of the work that all engineers share, such as:
applying science to solve problems;
working with people;
helping meet society's needs, such as energy usage and
environmental issues;
designing and creating solutions, such as with
manufactured products, structures and community
services.
The alternative entry scheme (described under Admission to
first year degree courses) allows students who have not chosen
the standard mathdscience prerequisites in their VCE to review
their career decisions and to enter engineering by undertaking
a more intensive program of mathematics and physics in the
first year of their degree program.
Social and career oriented activities are coordinated with the
National Centre for Women and provide opportunities for
women to interact.
Women who would like further information about the
engineering degree program and career opportunities should
contact the Divisional Office on 214 851 0 or National Centre
for Women on 21 4 8633.
