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 units 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.
Please note that the requirements for the BA degree are currently under consideration by the Faculty of Arts and the BA/BE double degree may be subject to further change. Subject to final approval, it is anticipated that the BA component will require 96 credit points. This will include a major sequence (48 points) and two minor sequences (24 points each) or two major sequences. All disciplines must be chosen from those taught by the Faculty of Arts as listed in the Arts section of this handbook. All candidates are recommended to obtain the current requirements for their BA component from the Faculty of Arts at the time of enrolment.
1.
The BE/BA was originally established to enable candidates concurrently to study
engineering and one of several languages and related units. 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 30 credit points in any semester.
3. Structure. In the first year of study, candidates should take level 1
engineering units 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 units. The latter will probably require
most candidates to take some engineering and some arts units in each year of
study. Candidates in language disciplines are advised to ensure continuity of
language study.
