The Bachelor of Engineering Studies is an engineering-related qualification which can be completed by distance education. The course provides the scientific, analytical, computational and communication skills and knowledge required for modern engineering.
It is intended that students who complete the Bachelor of Engineering Studies and wish to proceed to a degree accredited by the Institution of Engineers, Australia, be able to do so by undertaking further study, in the order of one full-time year equivalent, at the Gippsland School of Engineering.
The normal entry requirement is the Victorian Certificate of Education to include English, Mathematical Methods or Specialist Mathematics, or equivalent from elsewhere in Australia and overseas. (Please refer to the admission section of this book for further details.)
Students should have access to a 386 or higher PC capable of operating the Windows environment.
Australian residents will be required to attend weekend or summer schools. Overseas students will be required to attend suitable centres in their own country, and such students should seek advice on this prior to enrolment.
This course would normally be completed in six years by distance education. Some subjects are offered every year, and some in alternate years. (Please refer to the 'Table of subjects' for details of those to be offered in 1999.)
Twelve subjects are offered in the new first year which is common to all Bachelor of Engineering degrees in the faculty. Those subjects offered by distance education are as follows (please refer 'Table of subjects',in this handbook to determine teaching period when offered):
Four further subjects
are being developed specifically for the new course and will be made available
by distance education as soon as material is completed
Total forty-eight points

second-level subjects offered by the Gippsland School of Engineering.
Three subjects chosen in consultation with the course adviser from the

25.5 credit points chosen from the following:
The groupings are not prescriptive but are indicative of the subjects which would be taken by students proceeding to an additional year of study for the accredited Bachelor of Engineering degrees.
This varies from subject to subject. Generally a subject is weighted with 40 per cent on assignments including laboratory work and 60 per cent on examinations.
Credits/exemptions may be granted for TAFE advanced certificates or associate diplomas and completed or partly completed science degrees. Requests for advanced standing must include details of prior courses completed, and must accompany the application form.
