Course list II: branches of study for the degrees of BSc and BE

Note that students should contact the appropriate science or engineering course adviser before enrolling in any stage of the double-degree program, to ensure that the program they wish to follow will satisfy prerequisites necessary for higher years. Note also that the program is available at Clayton campus only.

Students whose first enrolment in the BSc/BE was in 1999 or later

The choice of either MTH1020 and MTH1030 or MTH1030 and MTH2010 in first year is determined by the level of preparation from VCE studies. See the Faculty of Science section in this handbook under `Mathematics' for details of MTH1020 and MTH1030.

The first two semesters of the course are largely common to all streams, with all students studying mathematics, some engineering units and either chemistry or physics. Students commencing stage 1 who are unsure of which branch of engineering to pursue are advised to consider enrolling in ENG1401, CHM1101, MTH1030 (or MTH1020) and PHS1011 in their first semester and speaking to the academic adviser prior to second semester for further unit selection.
