programme except for MG7001 Engineering Development Project.
RPL includes:

Credit Transfer (CT) where the same course/paper has been achieved in a
different programme
3.2

Cross Credit (CC) where an equivalent course/paper, or multiple
courses/papers, has been achieved and recognition as meeting the outcomes

3.3
Advanced Standing
Students may be eligible for Advanced Standing entry to the Bachelor of Engineering
Technology programme. Advanced standing applications will be considered from
experienced practitioners and/or graduates with other qualifications. Advanced
standing will be assessed using criteria from the graduate profiles and programme
outcomes from the Bachelor of Engineering Technology.
4.

Students may be admitted to the second year of the programme if they have

Restricted passes
There will be no restricted passes awarded.
8.4
Resits/Reassessments and Resubmissions
8.4.1
Resubmissions
Where minor reworking (fix-up) of an aspect of an assessment will enable the student
to achieve a passing grade, resubmissions will be allowed. As a guide, the work must
be able to be resubmitted within two working days of receipt of feedback. In all cases,
the original marked assessment will accompany resubmitted assessments.
8.4.2
Resits/Reassessments
Bachelor Of Engineering Technology_V2  Page 12
The terms ‘resit’ and ‘reassessment’ have the same definition – an opportunity for
students to undertake a further assessment after more learning has taken place.
There will be no resits/reassessments in the programme. Where students do not pass
a course, if they wish to achieve that course, they will be required to re-enrol.
8.5
Impaired Performance
Where students are absent from a summative assessment event, or are unable to
perform to the best of their ability through critical circumstances beyond their control
which may include: illness, injury, bereavement, family crisis, or other unpredictable
events, an application for an Aegrotat or Impaired Performance assessment may be
considered.
Where a student considers that their performance in an assessment has been
seriously impaired through critical circumstances beyond their control which may
include illness, injury, bereavement, family crisis, or other unpredictable events, an
impaired performance application may be made for reconsideration of result.
Programme Committee/Heads of School are responsible for ensuring that all
applications are processed according to the approved procedures of the relevant ITP.
Any reconsideration of result following an impaired performance application must not
disadvantage the student.

Normal Progression
Students must meet all pre-requisite requirements listed on the table below for
progression through the programme.
9.1
Prerequisite Table
Refer to Section 5, Tables 1-7.
9.2
Transition Arrangements
There are three institutions that deliver the Bachelor of Engineering Technology and
require transition arrangements from the current degree curricula to the new degree
curriculum. They are:
 Christchurch Institute of Technology and Polytechnic (CPIT)
 Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT)
 Unitec
As the ITPs currently deliver three different programmes the transition arrangements
are different. The specific approaches are covered in the Capability Documents of the
three institutions.
An overview of the three approaches:
CPIT will teach out the current curriculum and phase in the new degree from 2010.
Most students will have completed by 2011 but for part time students and students
who need to repeat a course the old curriculum will remain till 2014.
Bachelor Of Engineering Technology_V2  Page 13
MIT and Unitec have curricula that more closely match the new curriculum. Students
will transition from the old to the new with a cut-off date of 2012 in both cases. MIT
will phase in the new curriculum on a year by year basis from 2010. Unitec will offer
Year 1 from 2010, and Years 2 and 3 from 2011.
Common approaches between the three institutions are:



No student shall be disadvantaged by the change to the new curriculum.
The academic integrity will not be compromised.
Students will be fully informed of changes and potential impact.
Where a member of the Metro Group currently delivers a Bachelor of Engineering
Technology, that ITP is required to obtain approval for a Transition schedule,
including timeframes for the transition arrangements. Approval must be obtained from
both the Programme Management Group and the Quality Assurance Group prior to
the commencement of this new programme. (Refer Volume 2, Capability Document).
Version 2 of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil Major) programme comes
into effect Semester 1, 2015. Current students enrolled prior to 2015 are to transfer to
Version 2 at the first reasonable opportunity.

Version 2 of the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil Major) programme has
removed three compulsory courses. Students who were enrolled prior to 2015 will
have the opportunity to complete these courses and will be counselled on a case by
case basis. These courses are:
• ENGG MG5031 Professional Engineering Development 15cr;
• ENGG MG7021 Professional Engineering Practice 15cr;
• ENGG MG7001 Engineering Development Project 45cr.
Students who have successfully completed ENGG MG5031 Professional Engineering
Development 15cr will not be required to complete the compulsory course ENGG
MG5012 Highway Engineering 15cr.
