Schedule
Packaging Rules
The minimum requirements for achievement of the MEM60112 Advanced Diploma of Engineering are:
- completion of the seven (7) core units, and
- completion of twenty three (23) elective units, to bring the total number of units to thirty (30).

Group A and Group B elective units must be selected as follows:
- up to eight (8) general elective units from the list in Group A
- at least fifteen (15) specialist elective units from Group B, to bring the total number of elective units to twenty three (23).

Note that when selecting elective units any prerequisite units must also be completed and count towards the required number of elective units (refer to units for details).

Five (5) appropriate Group B electives may be chosen from other endorsed Training Packages and accredited courses where those units are available for inclusion at Advanced Diploma.

Note that the Group A and B elective units listed include all the MEM units that are approved for selection in this qualification. This meets the NSSC requirement that one sixth of the total units must be able to be selected from other qualifications in the same Training Package.
