Course code: 2322 + Course abbreviation: BE(IEEM) + Total credit points required: 192 (48 credit points at Bachelor of Engineering level 1, plus 144 credit points from the relevant engineering branch) + 4 years full-time, 8 years part-time (1 year full-time Bachelor of Engineering, 3 years full-time in the engineering branches)
On-campus (Caulfield; Clayton)
Industrial
engineering draws on a very broad range of skills. Monash industrial
engineering training covers the basic applied sciences, engineering and
information technology required in business. In addition, studies in business,
management and personal skills are also undertaken. The program is both
vocation-oriented and research-orientated in order to train industrial
engineers who can quickly assimilate into all walks of professional employment.
The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of the principles and
applications of the various disciplines, it is designed to develop personal
qualities that are essential for a successful career. These include
communication skills, ethics, creativity, teamwork and sound judgement.
Note that levels 2 and 3 of this program will be offered on the Clayton campus
from 2005. Level 4 will be offered on the Caulfield campus in 2005. From 2006,
the entire program will be offered on the Clayton campus.
Students
enter this branch of engineering after completion of the common first year
(refer to the entry for the Bachelor of Engineering earlier in this section).
In level 2 students undertake both industrial engineering and engineering
management units and two mathematics units. Further specialist industrial
engineering units will be offered in levels 3 and 4.
Students undertake a multidisciplinary project in level 3, which is undertaken
in conjunction with students from other faculties and is conducted in an actual
business environment. In level 4, there is a 12-credit-point project thesis in
which each student, or a pair of students, must undertake a research, design
and/or industry-based project. The department offers electives in level 4, of
which normally only six need to be selected. Appropriate electives will also be
available to students in the industrial engineering and engineering management
stream (subject to prerequisites, adequacy of challenge, relevance and
timetable restrictions).
Students should refer to 'Course map 5 - Bachelor of Engineering (Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management)' at the back of this section for an outline of the course requirements for this program.
