Clayton/Caulfield campus
The Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Art and Design offers a
double-degree course which qualifies students for the degrees of Bachelor of
Engineering and Bachelor of Technology (Industrial Design).
The program was established to enable students with creative design abilities
to pursue their interests in both engineering design and industrial design,
with a focus on high-technology consumer product design.
There
is a common technological core for both the four-year BE and the three-year
BTech (IndDes) courses offered separately at Monash University.
The amalgamation of the common cores means that the five-year double-degree
course still achieves the full educational objectives of both courses.
Consequently, graduates will be able to synthesise advanced technology and
product quality criteria, including economics, aesthetics/ semantics and
environmental factors, in the creation of new consumer products as well as
being able to exercise leadership and facilitate cooperation of professionals
in product development teams.
The
BE/BTech (Industrial Design) double-degree program commences at level one and
is of five years duration on a full-time basis. Entry to the course is by
application through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC);
application and VCE prerequisite subject details are given in the VTAC
Guide to University Courses.
The course operates on campus at Clayton (Engineering) and Caulfield
(Industrial Design) The detailed course structure is set out in the Engineering
section of the handbook.
