Units indexed by faculty Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Aerospace EngineeringCourse code: 3823 + Course abbreviation: BCom/BAeroEng + Total credit points required: 240 + 5 years full-time, 10 years part-time + Managing faculty: Business and Economics Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionIn this double-degree program, the aerospace engineering component will develop strength in the core discipline areas of aerodynamics, aerospace materials, aerospace structures, propulsion and aerospace instrumentation and control, complemented by a major emphasis on design, which will be taught with a project-based focus. In addition, the program provides a professional education in a range of commerce disciplines, with a strong emphasis on developing analytical skills and professional competence for careers in the business or public sector. Course structureAreas of studyStudents must complete a major specialisation in one of the following disciplines taught by the Faculty of Business and Economics: accounting, Asian development and transition business law and taxation, competition regulation and public policy, econometrics and business statistics, economics, finance, human resource management, information strategy and decision making, international commerce, labour and employment, 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. For details of the units required for major specialisations, refer to the Bachelor of Commerce entry. Other studies may be drawn from any of the disciplines taught on the Clayton campus by the Faculty of Business and Economics.
