Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering
Clayton
campus
Course code: 0085
On
completion of this course students should:
- have a sound knowledge and understanding of the relevant mathematics and
science, scientific method and technology;
- have developed particular and specific skills related to the major areas
of study in both science and engineering;
- have progressed from a broad fundamental knowledge base to advanced
studies in focused discipline areas of specialist engineering;
- be skilled in research techniques and the systematic organisation of
ideas and material, and creative with problem solving;
- be able to integrate knowledge from different discipline areas to
synthesise a coherent and effective approach to problem solving;
- have become proficient in oral and written communication;
- be able to use existing technology effectively and contribute towards
the development of new technology;
- have a recognition of the need for continuous change and development;
- be aware of ethical standards and responsibilities;
- have developed the appropriate attitudes to relationships with the
community and other members of the engineering profession.
The
structure of the five-year Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering is
currently being revised so that students entering from 1999 will qualify for
the BSc degree after four years of study, and for the BE after the fifth year
of study.
The course requirements for students will be set out in a faculty enrolment
guide which will be provided to all students prior to enrolment in 1999.
The
five-year double degree course qualifies students for the BSc degree after
three years of study and, after a further two years, for the degree of Bachelor
of Engineering.
In the first three years of study students' progress will be subject to Science
faculty policies and rules, including examinations.
The fourth and fifth years of the course will be pursued entirely within, and
under the control of, the Engineering faculty.
Students wishing to qualify with a BSc(Hons) may take the honours year before
proceeding to their final two years in the Engineering faculty.
Students embarking on this course pursue combinations of subjects from both
faculties. The course is structured so that progression to the BSc
qualification, ie the first three years, is governed by the BSc regulations,
except that restrictions in terms of subject choices have been imposed to
ensure that only those studies which equip students to undertake the subsequent
engineering studies can be pursued.
All students should see the double degree engineering course adviser at the end
of each year in order to finalise their engineering enrolment for the following
year.
For all students commencing in 1999, please refer to the 1999 enrolment guide.
All
students should note that if they are pursuing a computer science major they
may not enrol in ENG1602.

Students
are required to take the full course of materials science subjects (MSC2011,
MSC2022, MSC3011, MSC3022), which gives them exemption from most of the second
level of the materials engineering course, and some of third level.
The remaining subject choice is only subject to the restrictions outlined
below, but students may for example, major in chemistry, physics or physiology,
where their final engineering year could concentrate on biomaterials.

Students
are advised to take, in mathematics and physics subjects, any optional units in
fluid mechanics or dynamics, thermodynamics, computing, materials science,
electricity and magnetism, and mechanics or dynamics. Students in sequences
other than the physics, physiology or anatomy sequences should take the
subjects MEC2410 or MEC2414, MEC2420, MEC2450 and MEC2470 in addition to their
BSc studies during the second and third years in preparation for the third
level BE studies. Students should also consult with the double degree adviser
for mechanical engineering for further advice. The objective is to minimise the
need to take second-year engineering subjects at stage four and to take full
fourth-year mechanical engineering at stage five of the double degree.
