• The BBSc requirements were easy for me to understand, mostly due to the highly structured (and prescribed at that) nature of this degree.
• Further, we can resource the development of a visual representation of this degree for each of the majors and both together as a double (if enrolled numbers warrant).

On faculty-requested changes

• As with BAS, I have included references to the year courses are usually done in, while still leaving wiggle room (for part-time students, similarity to other degrees, etc.). Any stronger and I am unable to have the same pattern for other degrees. Is this strong enough? 
  • Remember that there will also be a GUS-type graphic showing the allocation of courses by year and by trimester.
• I have made the connection between 100-level core courses and 100-level major courses as text, while still leaving major courses in the major section and resisting the temptation to use Part 1/2, including it here for your feedback. I am not happy with it and certainly don't want to use it for other degrees (meaning inconsistency), as it is long/words and distracting. I would rather fall back on the GUS-type image mentioned above and leave it out of the requirements. What do you think?
• As with BAS, I have moved the SARC 122 substitution option to supplementary information, as it broke the flow unnecessarily.
• As with BAS, I have added the GES of 180 to the Entry Requirements section (easier to see in the wire frames), as it only differs from 150 for BAS and BBSc.

Entry Requirements

• Guaranteed Entry Score (GES) for the BAS is 180 points. Further information on the GES is available in the Admissions section.

Tool tips

• A definition of GES, if necessary

Degree requirements

• Total of 360 points required (typically 120 points/year), including:
  • At least 270 points from courses listed for the BBSc or BAS.
  • At least 210 points from 200 and 300-level courses, including:
    
    • At least 180 points from courses listed for the BBSc or BAS.
      • At least 90 points from 300-level courses.
• Complete eight courses at 100-level (usually in the first year):
  
  • SARC 111
  • SARC 121
  • SARC 122
  • SARC 131
  • SARC 151
  • SARC 161
  • SARC 162
  • One further elective course.
• Complete four courses at 200-level courses and the other 200-level major courses (usually in the second year):
  
  • BILD 251
  • SARC 221
  • SARC 222
  • SARC 223.
• Complete four courses at 300-level and the other 300-level major courses (usually in the third year):
  • BILD 322
  • BILD 364
  • SARC 321
  • SARC 362.
• Satisfy the requirements for at least one major subject (selected from the drop down list below).
  • 300-level courses may only be counted towards one major.

Supplementary information

• BAS students share "a common first year . . interests and needs" (GUS, p.38)
• SARC 122 may be replaced with an elective course by students who have at least 14 NCEA Level 3 credits in each of two of: Calculus, Physics, and Statistics.
• Some courses listed above are also listed under the requirements for the major (selected from the drop down list below). Students only need to complete these courses once.
• BBSc students studying both the Project Management and Sustainable Building Systems majors don't require any elective courses beyond their first year. BBSc students doing only one of these majors are required to complete elective courses to the value of 60 points, preferably 30 points in each of the second and third years.

Major subject requirements

Project Management (BILD)

Thoughts and questions

• Do we need to show 'major codes' here (maybe to help with enrolment)? Ditto for following majors.

Sustainable Engineering Systems (SSEG)

• Complete two courses at 200-level (usually in the second year):
  • BILD 231
  • BILD 232.
• Complete three courses at 300-level (usually in the third year):
  • BILD 321
  • BILD 322
  • BILD 331.
• Complete courses worth 60 further points from elective courses (spread over two years), including:
  • At least 30 points from courses at 200 and 300-level.

Supplementary information

• Students are advised to complete elective courses to the value of 30 points in each of the second and third years.
