This double-degree course is intended for potential engineers who wish to become more aware of economic, social, organisational and managerial aspects of the engineering profession.
Students
must complete a major specialisation in one of the following disciplines taught
by the Faculty of Business and Economics: accounting, finance, economics,
business law and taxation, econometrics and business statistics, management or
marketing. All units taken as part of the major specialisation are limited to
units taught by departments of the faculty on the Clayton campus.
Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton
campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics.
Students must also complete the prescribed sequence in one branch of
engineering selected from chemical, civil, electrical and computer systems,
materials or mechanical (and mechatronics subject to faculty board approval).
For details of these branches of engineering, refer to the entry for the
Bachelor of Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering section of this
handbook.
All units studied must be from the Faculty of Business and Economics at Clayton
or those listed in the relevant Engineering entry below.
The degree requirements are as follows.
Students
must complete 17 units (102 credit points) from the Faculty of Business and
Economics as follows:
(i) Completion of six compulsory common core units (36 credit points):
(ii) Completion of at least two units (12 credit points) from the following list:
First-year students
normally may not take a second-year unit until at least four first-year units
have been completed successfully.
(iii) A major specialisation of at least eight units (48 credit points) in a
discipline or field of study of the faculty with at least 12 credit points at
each of second and third-year level.
(iv) A maximum of eight first-year-level units (48 credit points).
(v) A minimum of four third-year-level units (24 credit points) must be from
those offered by the faculty on the campus delivering this program.
Students
must complete between 144 and 160 credit points from the Faculty of Engineering
as follows:
(i) First year - for all engineering branches of study (36 credit points or 40
credit points, depending on prerequisites)*:
plus (depending on VCE subjects completed) one (or two) unit(s) from:
* The course structure for level one of this program is currently under review and may be subject to change.
(ii) Students are required to complete one of the engineering branches listed below:
Second year
(Eng 20 credit
points)
Third year
(Eng 20 credit
points)
Fourth year
(Eng 36 credit points)
Fifth year
Select one from:
(Eng 39 credit points)
Second year
(Eng 20 credit
points)
Third year
(Eng 28 credit points)
Fourth year
(Eng 36 credit points)
Fifth year
plus 12 credit points of electives from the following:
(Eng 24 credit points)
Students
enrolled in the electrical and computer systems engineering branch should note
that ENG1803 Physics C should be taken in level 2 if not taken as an elective
in level 1. If this is in addition to 48 credit points at level 1, it replaces
a level 4 ECSE elective.
Students should also note that considering the high computing content in the
engineering programs, the commerce unit AFC2160 (Computers and accounting) may
not be taken by BCom/BE students.
Second year
(Eng 16 credit
points)
Third year
(Eng 24 credit points)
Fourth year
plus two of the following:
(Eng 40 credit points)
Fifth year
(Eng 40 credit points)
This
is a new course structure for students entering level 2 of the program from
2005 onwards. Level 2 units of the engineering component of this new program
will be offered from 2005 onwards. Level 3 units will be offered from 2006 and
level 4 units from 2007. Students who entered Level 2 of the program prior to
2005 should refer to the handbook for the year in which they commenced the
course.
Second year
(Eng 24 credit points)
Third year
Select any two from:
(Eng 18 credit points)
Fourth year
(Eng 42
credit points)
Fifth year
(Eng 30 credit points)
Second year
(Eng 16 credit points)
Third year
(Eng 32 credit points)
Fourth year
(Eng 36 credit
points)
Fifth year
Note that the
units ENG4614/ENG4616 (Schools technology project) may not be taken.
(Eng 36 credit points)
* Subject to faculty board approval.
It is proposed that level 2 units of the engineering component of this new
program will be offered from 2005 onwards. Level 3 units will be offered from
2006 and level 4 units from 2007.
Second year
(Eng 18 credit points)
Third year
(Eng 24 credit points)
Fourth year
(Eng 36 credit points)
Fifth year
(Eng 36 credit points)
The course may be completed in five to five-and-a-half years of full-time study
at a normal course load (depending on branch of engineering selected). The
maximum time for completion is 10 years.
