Monash University Engineering handbook 1995

reg. Admission

Admission to the Faculty of Engineering is based on the assessment of students' results in the Victorian Certificate of Education (or equivalent) in those subjects important to engineering - English, mathematics, physics and chemistry. For 1995 admission, selection for engineering degrees at Monash will be based on a percentile score which ranks applicants in the cohort on a comparative basis. Consideration will be given to the full range of an applicant's VCE studies and results and the level of performance in common assessment tasks in prerequisite studies. Admission to the Bachelor of Technology is available by direct entry only. At Gippsland, school leavers who have not attained the normal entry standard in the mathematics area but who are otherwise well qualified may be admitted to the first-year technology. This year is an extension of first year of the Bachelor of Engineering course wherein GAS1611 (Calculus) is replaced with a 45-week course with the same terminal standard. The technology first year commences one month earlier than the normal first year. On successful completion students go on to the normal second year.
Students offered a place in the faculty may defer taking up the offer for one year. In special cases a second year of deferment may be granted on application. Information about tertiary entrance requirements, prerequisites for admission to the faculty's courses and deferment may be obtained from the faculty office or the school administration offices.
