Course description

For details of this branch of engineering refer to the entry for the Bachelor of Engineering in this handbook. For information on arts majors and minors, refer to the `Areas of study' section on the Arts faculty website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/.

Course structure

Students enter this branch of engineering after completion of the common first year (refer to the entry for the Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Arts earlier in this section).

Course requirements

Student require a total of 256 credit points (or 260 depending on prerequisites) including level 1, of which not less than 160 credit points (or 164 depending on prerequisites) must be obtained from the engineering units listed below.
The arts component requires 96 credit points, consisting of a major (48 points), a minor (24 points), an additional first-year sequence (12 points) and a further 12 points of arts units.
ENG1803 Physics C should be taken in level 2 if not taken as an elective in level 1.
