The Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Arts double-degree program is available to candidates pursuing studies in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer systems engineering, materials engineering and mechanical engineering, and can normally be completed in five years of full-time study (see note 1 below). This degree is available at Clayton campus only.
The subjects required for the BE in each of the engineering courses are listed below, and the requirements for degree completion are stipulated at the end of all the lists.
For the BA, candidates must complete a major sequence (52 points) in one arts discipline and a minor sequence (28 points) in another arts discipline for a total of 80 points. Both disciplines must be chosen from those taught by the Faculty of Arts as listed in the Arts section of this handbook.
1. The
BE/BA was originally established to enable candidates concurrently to study
engineering and one of several languages and related subjects. Given that any
arts major and any arts minor sequence can be taken, candidates are warned
that timetabling difficulties may be encountered and that it may not be
possible in all cases to complete the double degree in five years of full-time
study.
2. Candidates are responsible for compiling their own timetables, and
should not exceed 28 credit points in any semester.
3. Structure. In the first year of study, candidates should take
level 1 engineering subjects worth 36 credit points and a 12-point first-year
sequence in an arts discipline. Thereafter candidates may structure their
courses as they wish, having regard to the constraints imposed by timetabling
and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later-year subjects. The latter will
probably require most candidates to take some engineering and some arts
subjects in each year of study. Candidates in language disciplines are advised
to ensure continuity of language study.
