Bachelor of Engineering (Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management)

Course code: 2322 + Course abbreviation: BE(IEEM) + Total credit points required: 192 (48 points at Bachelor of Engineering level 1, plus 144 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)

Study mode and course location

On-campus (Clayton)

Course description

This engineering branch is designed to develop graduates with skills in applied sciences, engineering and information technology. In addition, studies in business, management and personal skills are also undertaken. The program is both vocation and research orientated in order to train industrial engineers who can quickly assimilate into professional employment. The course aims to provide a thorough understanding of the principles and applications of the various industrial engineering disciplines, and is designed to develop attributes including communication skills, ethics, creativity, teamwork and sound judgement.

Course structure

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). It is recommended that students wishing to enter this branch of engineering complete ENG1020, ENG1030 and ENG1040 in the first year.

In level 2 students undertake industrial engineering and engineering management units as well as units in engineering design, dynamics, materials, thermo-fluids and mathematics. Further specialist industrial engineering units are 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-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 a range of electives in level 4, including mechanical and industrial engineering units.

Course requirements

This is a new course structure for students entering level 2 of the program from 2006 onwards. Levels 3 and 4 of the program remain unchanged. Students who entered level 2 of the program prior to 2006 should refer to the handbook for the year in which they commenced the course.
