Qualification Change
Proposal Description
R
Purpose of the proposal
To introduce standardised 15-point weights for the courses comprising the Second Professional Examination of the
seven engineering specialisations for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). This proposal excludes changes for
Chemical and Process Engineering as this programme changed to 15 points for all three professional years in 2011.
Justification
In late 2008 the University of Canterbury decided to adopt a standardised course size for all undergraduate
qualifications. As part of this decision the engineering undergraduate qualification – BE(Hons) was given dispensation
for a four-phase process beginning in 2009. This proposal is phase three of that process with phase one (the
intermediate year), and phase two (First Professional Year) now operational. The proposal is part of strengthening one
of the professional degree qualifications offered by the University and as such contributes to the broader academic
development of both the College of Engineering and the University of Canterbury.
Civil and Natural Resources Engineering
The Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering proposes these changes after an extensive review process.
This has included reviewing the recommendations of the most recent IPENZ accreditation panel, examination of trends
overseas, consideration of reports by recent Erskine visitors, review of comments from student liaison committee
meetings by the year co-ordinators, and the input from the CNRE Advisory Board. The result of that review led to the
conclusion that there was no need for major changes in the structure of the first and second professional years. It also
led to the conclusion that the content offered in those two years was appropriate. The review highlighted that reorganisation of content between courses could aid in student learning, as could re-ordering of material between
semesters and years. One significant outcome of the review was a decision to offer one Materials course in the First
Professional Year instead of covering this material in five different courses. This has had a number of consequential
changes. In addition, the shift from 12 to 15 point courses has allowed us to break up the hydrology/geology course and
teach the hydrology with other water topics and the geology with soil courses, which will be better for students and
more consistent with international norms.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
This set of changes to the Electrical and Electronic programme is a further phase in the move to 15 point courses. They
are part of the overall review of the degree programme undertaken as the move to a common course size is
implemented. Consultation with Industry and across the departments has been undertaken and the IPENZ accreditation
has also informed proceedings. There has been a re-arrangement of material and an attempt to avoid duplication
particularly in the computing area. New courses in Design and Management have been created.
Forest Engineering
Forest Engineering proposes these changes after an extensive review process. This has included reviewing the
recommendations of the most recent IPENZ accreditation panel, a full review of the Forest Engineering Programme in
2009, examination of trends overseas, consideration of reports by recent Erskine visitors, and the input from both the
SOFAC Advisory Board and departmental discussion. The Forestry Science courses within the programme were updated
and changes implemented in 2010 and 2011. All Forest Engineering (ENFO) specific courses were also updated in that
time. Our programme also relies on courses from CNRE and these changes are being considered as they become
available.
Mechanical Engineering
This set of significant changes is the second phase of a 3 year roll-out of a new Mechanical Engineering degree structure,
following the 2008 University-wide requirement that all courses move to a 15-point weighting (or multiples thereof).
1
19 UC/11BE(Hons)/1
With the previous degree structure having been built around 12-point modules, this has necessitated extensive change
and rearrangement of material to ensure that the overall integrity and standing of the degree is not compromised.
Furthermore, this has been a timely opportunity to re-assess the content and the current relevance of all material
within the degree across the wide range of disciplines that are represented in any mechanical engineering degree
programme.
Up until 2005, the 2nd Professional year consisted of 12 compulsory courses (each worth 10-points), ensuring that all
students entered their final 3rd Professional year with a common background. In 2006 a change was made to conform to
the then-predominant engineering course size of 12-points which necessitated making only 8 of the previous 12 courses
compulsory, with students having to select 2 of the other 4 courses as electives. An undesirable consequence of this has
been that students have been entering 3rd Professional with differing backgrounds (depending on the choice of 2nd
Professional electives). Hence an important objective in this re-structuring has been to design a set of 8 compulsory
courses to restore the earlier system in which all students covered the same material before entering 3rd Professional.
The equivalent exercise for the 1st Professional year took effect in 2011 in anticipation, and with the knowledge of this
proposed set of 2nd Professional course changes which are to take effect in 2012, with the final phase of 3rd Professional
year changes to be effective for 2013. These documents set out the details of the new 2nd Professional courses only.
Mechatronics
This set of significant changes is the second phase of a 3 year roll-out of a new Mechatronics Engineering degree
structure, following the 2009 University-wide requirement that all courses move to a 15-point weighting (or multiples
thereof). Being a multi-disciplinary engineering degree and jointly delivered across departments, the Mechatronics
Engineering Programme has been a degree structure comprising courses of vary sizes – 12 points, 15 points, and 20
points.
The implementation of 15 point course has necessitated further restructuring of the degree programme to ensure that
the overall integrity and standing of the degree is not compromised. Furthermore, this has been a timely opportunity to
re-assess the content and reinforce UC Mechatronics Educational Philosophy – balanced core mechatronics training in
the first three years and guided streams in the fourth year.
The new Mechatronics Engineering 1st Pro 15 point structure implemented in 2011 consists of a 30-point course
“Mechatronics Design”, two engineering math courses, two mechanical courses, and two electrical courses. The new
Mechatronics Engineering 2nd Pro 15 point structure being proposed and to be rolled out in 2012 will comprise a 30point course “Mechatronic System Design”, three compulsory mechanical courses, two compulsory electrical courses
and one elective electrical course. One of the desired outcomes is that all mechatronics students will have core
fundamentals and skill sets necessary to solve complex mechatronics engineering problems through synthesis of multidisciplinary knowledge. Yet they can take up speciality courses in their own strength and interest in the final year.
This proposed set of 2nd Professional course changes is to take effect in 2012, with the final phase of 3rd Professional
year changes to be effective for 2013. These documents set out the details of the new 2nd Professional courses only.
Computer and Software Engineering
These changes arise mainly from the restructuring of the 200-level curriculum resulting from the conversion to 15 points
for 2011 – for example, it became necessary to remove some content from 300-level that is now being taught at 200level. In carrying out this restructuring we have also been mindful of gaps in our offering relative to the Association of
Computing Machinery (ACM) Computer Science and Software Engineering curricula and closer collaboration with other
departments in the Engineering College (ECE in particular).
Acceptability
This proposal arises from the university wide move to standardised course sizes. However, sitting alongside the
university move is external referencing through the Washington Accord which is manifested through the IPENZ
managed accreditation review process. Whilst the last formal review was in 2007 a number of specialisations have
conducted mini-reviews as an outcome of the 2007 review. This has involved broad faculty consultation and has also
involved consultation with industry. The changing structure of courses and the programmes has been discussed as a
part of these consultations and has been generally supported. Student consultation has also occurred through faculty
2
19 UC/11BE(Hons)/1
processes and individual programme student representatives.
Goals of the programme
This is an existing degree programme – the goals remain unchanged.
Graduate profile
The proposed changes will assist in ensuring that the graduate profile is achieved.
Programme overview
The BE(Hons) is a four year undergraduate degree which normally comprises an intermediate year followed by three
years of increasingly focused study in one of eight different specialisations. The current proposal is for the Second
Professional year (Year 3) of the qualification. The proposal will change the number of courses that constitute the
Second Professional Year generally from ten courses down to eight. Overall the degree will remain a 480 point, fouryear (full-time) qualification. The degree will continue to consist of both academic and practical components.

19 UC/11BE(Hons)/1
On a 5-yearly basis a full IPENZ accreditation review is undertaken with specialisations responding to requirements and
recommendations that emerge as a part of this process. The University of Canterbury also undertakes 5-yearly reviews
of the BE(Hons) degree in concert with the IPENZ accreditation visits. Degree regulations are reviewable through the
normal Board of Studies, Faculty, and university-wide processes.
