Course code: 1820 · Gippsland campus · HECS fees applicable · Attendance compulsory.
In
general, the aim of this course is to prepare students to be readily adaptable
at a professional level to a chosen engineering oriented environment in which
application of modern business techniques are required, or to a chosen business
environment in which an engineering background is an advantage, or in pursuits
where a blend of both backgrounds is desirable.
In the engineering stream, the course will aim to provide each student with the
opportunity to develop a graduate level depth of knowledge and skills in a
chosen engineering discipline with complementary background studies in general
engineering, and computing, project planning and implementation.
Similarly in the business stream, the course will aim to provide each student
with the opportunity to develop a graduate level of knowledge and skills in at
least two chosen specialist business strands combined with a core group of
subjects introductory to a range of other business-oriented disciplines.
Students
normally complete first year of either a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of
Business and Commerce degree before starting the combined studies. Students
are required to obtain a "credit" average in the first year of study.
Attendance - Engineering
Candidates must expect to attend one compulsory residential school at the
Gippsland campus during each teaching semester of their off-campus study. If a
student cannot attend residential school, the result for the unit involved will
be deferred until the residential school requirements are fulfilled.
Course structure
This double degree is a five-year full-time or equivalent distance education professional course and offers specialisation in the following engineering and business areas: (for students commencing their course after 1998) interdisciplinary engineering with major studies taken in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering; accounting; business law; economics; electronic commerce; management; marketing.
Students must complete subjects that achieve a minimum of 252 credit points. The subjects are chosen from a selected engineering discipline and business majors studies with specified core subjects and approved electives.
Subjects with a total credit value of at least 144 points from Faculty of
Engineering and 108 points from Faculty of Business and Economics subjects are
to be completed, meeting the following requirements:
(a) Completion of six compulsory introductory 6-point subjects, one in each of
the following business disciplines:
AFW1001 Introductory
accounting A
ECW1101 Introductory microeconomics
BTW1200 Business law
MGW1010 Managing people and organisations
MKW1120 Marketing theory and practice
ETW1102 Business statistics
(b) Completion of a business major sequence of at least 48 points (eight
subjects), including at least 12 points at each of second and third levels.
(One core subject from part (a) may form part of the 48 point's
requirement).
(c) Completion of at least forty-eight points of business subjects beyond first
level, including at least twenty-four points at third level (the business major
sequence meets part of this requirement).
(d) Completion of the common first-year engineering followed by the selection of one of the following engineering streams within the interdisciplinary degree: civil, electronic, mechanical and information
Note: GSE2703 Engineering Mathematical Analysis is equivalent to ETW1102
Business Statistics. Therefore, students are not required to complete ETW1102
Business statistics on the business side of the course.
