Curriculum
During the term, students will participate in a credit-bearing internship, engineering coursework, and a course in Australian Culture & Society. Together, these courses will allow students to gain a broader understanding of the field of engineering and help situate their learning in the Australian context. Students will study their technical curriculum at the University of Sydney for the term and gain insight into the past, present, and future of engineering technologies through field trips to research institutions, technical museums, and companies.
Required Courses
CAS AN 368
Australian Culture & Society
Major focus on Australia’s global and national development as a multicultural nation with European roots, traditional western alliances and an imagined future in the Asia-Pacific region. The themes of continuity and change in relation to the Aboriginal population are explored in some detail.

ENG EK 490
ENG Internship
This course and academic project, drawing from a 120-hour internship, provides Engineering students with professional development resources to enhance their intern experience. Workshops include: Australian business culture /cross cultural business communication, conflict management, goal setting, and writing for reflective learning.
Elective Courses
ENG BE 209
Principles of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology
Prerequisites: high school biology and at least one semester of college chemistry.
For biomedical engineers. Principles of cell and molecular biology and biochemistry emphasizing biomolecules, the flow of genetic information, cell structure and function, and cell regulation. Three hours lecture, three hours lab.
ENG EC 311
Introduction to Logic Design
ENG ME 305
Mechanics of Materials
As the language of instruction is English, additional course options at the University of Sydney may be possible. Students work with the College of Engineering for course approval.
