The first Dean's Honours List was compiled in 2004. All courses, not
just engineering courses, are included in the calculation of a
student's weighted average mark. Students are eligible for inclusion on
the Dean's Honours List for Stage One, Two and Three of their
undergraduate degree program. The School of Surveying and Spatial
Information Systems is proud to acknowledge the following Dean's List
students for 2009:
