    ^ Must have successfully completed STP010 Career Tools for Employability (0 credit point unit)

    # Students who have not completed VCE Mathematical Methods (or equivalent), will be required to undertake the unit SIT190 in the first trimester of their engineering course.

    + Students enrolled online for these units are required to attend campus-based activities during the corresponding intensive activities in a trimester. Attendance at campus-based activities is linked to assessment requirements within the engineering programs, failure to attend will result in not meeting the hurdle requirement of the respective assessment.
