The Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure -- Design, Construction and
Management) (BTech (Infrastruct)) degree is of three years duration if taken
full-time or up to six years if taken part-time. These time limits include an
allowance of one year for completion of approved studies at TAFE. The BTech
(Infrastruct) is articulated with the Diploma of the Built Environment run at
the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE. After successful completion of the first year
of this program (65 per cent average), students may transfer directly into the
second year of the Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure -- Design,
Construction and Management) at Monash University Clayton campus. The third
year of the course is also conducted at Monash University Clayton campus.
The second year introduces the BTech student to university-style training in
transportation, water supply engineering and civil engineering design in some
of the most popular construction materials. These include concrete, steel,
timber and masonry.
The third year of the BTech equips students with a combination of advanced
practical, technical and business skills for entering the workplace. In
addition to the four core or compulsory subjects you are required to take at
this level, students choose four elective subjects depending on their
interests.
The core and elective subjects required at levels 2 and 3 in the course are
listed in full in the subject list for the Bachelor of Technology degrees
included after this section of the handbook. Students should become familiar
with the requirements for completion of the degree set out in the subject
list.
Throughout the program there is strong emphasis on the application of
information technology and the holistic development of the individual.
Students who have completed the BTech program at an appropriate level and
complete a further three semesters of civil engineering study can also receive
the BE (Civil) degree.
