Bachelor of Engineering (BE)

Civil and Computing; Industrial and Computing; Mechanical and Computing (for pre-1998 students only); Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (available to post-1998 students)

The existing BE degrees at Caulfield place particular emphasis on the practice of engineering and each course provides for broad training in the chosen discipline. About 20 per cent of the course content directly relates to computers, computer application and computing skills. This means that existing students are awarded a degree of Bachelor of Engineering in one of three areas: civil and computing, industrial and computing, or mechanical and computing.
Please note that students undertaking the final two years of the electrical and computing degree will be required to complete their studies at the Clayton campus and details of the course can be found in the Clayton section.

First level

The first year is common to all the branches of engineering offered on all campuses. This means that students may delay the decision about choice of an engineering branch until the end of the first year. Students are assisted in making their choice of branch by their experience of first-level engineering subjects and by a series of career lectures in second semester which review the branches of engineering available.

Second, third and fourth levels (pre-1997 students)

At the beginning of second level, students enrolled in one of the four degree programs offered at Caulfield.
Students who entered first year from 1998 onwards will not proceed to one of the existing engineering and computing degrees. Rather, they will proceed to the new Bachelor of Engineering program.

Course of studies

Civil engineers work in branches such as structural engineering, soil engineering, rock engineering, dam engineering, hydraulic engineering, highway engineering, traffic engineering, sanitary engineering, water resources engineering, town planning and coastal engineering. In any of these branches a civil engineer may work in the functional areas of research, investigation, design, construction or operation and the undergraduate course in the Department of Civil Engineering prepares a student accordingly.
Following on from the common first level, level-two subjects expand and extend the coverage of engineering science with studies in fluid mechanics, materials science and further mathematics and computing. The applications to engineering are elucidated by studies in structural engineering and surveying. Engineering management is also introduced.
Level-three subjects further extend the studies in engineering science but with an increasing emphasis on their integration with applied civil engineering. Studies in structural engineering, computer applications and engineering management are continued. Geology and soil mechanics, geotechnical engineering, timber engineering, and hydrology, hydraulics and public health engineering are introduced; an industrial project is also undertaken. Students are also introduced to infrastructure systems engineering.
Level four further expands on earlier studies in computing, engineering management and construction, structural engineering and the industrial project. Students are exposed to civil engineering design which draws together much of the material covered in earlier studies. Traffic engineering and planning and municipal and highway engineering are covered. Students also elect to study either project management, geotechnics or computer applications.
A feature of the course is an annual one-week camp at a location away from Melbourne, attended by third and fourth-year students. At this camp, students learn to apply the results of their civil engineering studies to practical civil engineering problems. Students are also required to obtain work experience during the long vacations.
The overall aim of the course is to prepare a well-rounded professional poised for employment in any of a wide range of civil engineering occupations and eager for continuing education to remain abreast of latest developments in his or her discipline.

Course of studies

Industrial engineers design productive systems comprising people, machines, materials and money. They are people with creative and innovative skills and a knowledge of engineering, computing and business principles. Their main aims are to create an efficient and effective workplace to achieve a high productivity and high performance - the maximum output from an organisation for the same input of effort and resources and the meeting of important objectives. These aims involve industrial engineers paying due regard to all production aspects, as well as product quality and human factors. Only in this way can a company compete in today's world and fulfil the needs of its customers, employees and owners.
Monash industrial engineering training, covers the basic applied sciences and engineering to provide skills in dealing with complex engineering equipment. This includes computer-based equipment, so skills in both electronics and computing are developed. But every company depends on its finance and on the skill of its employees, hence studies in both business and social subjects are also undertaken. Safety in the work place and a knowledge of new materials are also included. Industrial engineering draws on a broader range of skills than perhaps any other engineering course at Caulfield. The degree course at Caulfield is strongly vocation-oriented in order to train industrial engineers who can quickly assimilate into professional employment.
The course is structured to provide a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of the various disciplines. In addition, it is designed to develop personal qualities that are essential for a professional engineer, such as personal communication skills, ethics, creativity and sound judgement to design and establish systems for the benefit of society.

Course of studies

Mechanical engineering is the practice that has arisen from the need to generate, transmit and control mechanical energy. This practice brings with it the need to study methods of generation, transmission and control and increasingly to employ scientifically based tools. Today, mechanical engineering has as its core the interaction of people and machines and the control of that interaction. Mechanical engineers will be found designing, manufacturing and commissioning nuclear power plants, controlling physical environments, aerospace development, exploring forms of transportation, devising new machines and ways of controlling new machines and concerning themselves with all aspects of mechanical handling systems and methods of production of anything manufactured in material form. They will be found not only in factories, research establishments, or in a consulting practice, but also in the mineral resource, chemical process and agricultural industries. They will regard their function as one of design, production, operation, consulting, technical management, general management, research and development and maintenance of complex plants.
The undergraduate course is designed to provide a fundamental and broad training to allow graduates to steer their course into any of these areas as they now exist or as they might develop in future. The course offers a sound training in engineering experimentation and in the physical and engineering sciences. It includes comprehensive studies in design in which the analytical tools are brought to bear in a synthesis which accounts satisfactorily for economic, organisational and human factors. The use of computers in data reduction and in system modelling is studied. Third and fourth years include an industrial project whilst, during the final year, either a major experimental project or substantial participation with a design team actively engaged with practising engineers is arranged. The results are presented by thesis and orally.
The design of the course attempts also to acknowledge the interdisciplinary nature of modern engineering and to provide the graduate with a facility for expanding his or her own development into related fields. It provides a working knowledge of the elements of control, stress systems, electronics instrumentation, microcomputers and managerial procedures.
