Semester Planner

Click on the Engineering Disciplines that you are interested in to see possible semester plans for your Intermediate Year in the table below.

*Some courses are available in multiple semesters. To move a course, just click on the alternative semester.

To delete a course, click the trashcan at the end of the row. This will also remove any courses that it is a prerequisite for, and any engineering disciplines that require that course. Some courses are required for all engineering disciplines; these courses cannot be deleted

Plan Advice: Any relevant information regarding your semester plan will appear below.

If you have selected fewer than four subjects in Semester 1 or Semester 2, you must select courses to fill them. A second science course such as PHYS102, CHEM112 or COSC122 is a good idea to keep a pathway open into a related BSc major. Other popular choices are management or geological sciences but you may take courses from other science, forestry, arts, humanities, health, education or law subjects.

WARNING: Consult Student Advisors: Special permission is needed for more than 60 points in a semester
Try changing your chosen Discipline Options to reduce constraints
Otherwise, you may need at a least a summer semester or a 2 year Intermediate pathway
NOTE: ENGR102, EMTH119 and COSC122 are available in the summer, however, ENGR102 must be taken with or after EMTH119, not before it

WARNING: Consult Student Advisors: You cannot take more than 30 points in the summer semester. EMTH171 may not be needed in Semester 2, in which case COSC122 can be taken then instead.

CHEM111 is available in both semesters, so can be taken in semester 2 as long as you are not taking CHEM112

OPPORTUNITY: Consult Student Advisors. Excellence endorsement in NCEA means that you may be eligible for a Modified Intermediate, quaranteed entry to your first choice of engineering discipline, or even Direct Entry to the 1st Professional (2nd) `Year of Engineering.

Because you did not do Chemistry at Level 2, enrolment in Headstart Chemistry during the previous summer is strongly advised.

CHEM114 NOTE: Consult Student Advisors regarding your need to do Chemistry. Special allowances may apply in 2015/2016 if you have not done Chemistry at high school.
