Units indexed by faculty Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering/Bachelor of ArtsCourse code: 3277 + Course abbreviation: BAeroEng/BA + Total credit points required: 240 + 5 years full-time, 10 years part-time + Managing faculty: Engineering Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionThis course enables students to complement studies in aerospace engineering by selecting units from the very wide range of disciplines offered by the Faculty of Arts in the humanities, social sciences and communication. Students will acquire knowledge in the core disciplines underpinning aerospace engineering (aerodynamics, aerospace materials, aerospace structures, propulsion and aerospace instrumentation and control) and incorporate this into the design of systems and components for the aerospace industry. They will be able to formulate problems, propose innovative solutions, analyse the technical and other aspects of these and make decisions about the preferred option. This will necessarily involve working in multidisciplinary teams learning through guided practice how to handle such situations. Current industry practice and guidance on professional issues such as ethics, legal, environmental and safety issues will also be covered along with an understanding of the role of the aerospace industry in a wider, global context. Course structureIn the first year of study, students take the prescribed engineering units and a 12 point first-year sequence in an arts discipline. Thereafter, students may structure their courses as they wish, having regard to the constraints imposed by timetabling and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later-year units. The latter will probably require most students to take some engineering and some arts units in each year of study. Students undertaking a language discipline are advised to ensure continuity of the language study. The arts component of this double degree will require 96 points. All disciplines must be chosen from those taught by the Faculty of Arts as listed in the 'Areas of study' section of the faculty website at www.arts.monash.edu.au/current/coursework/study_areas/. It is recommended that students obtain the current requirements for their arts component from the Faculty of Arts at the time of enrolment. Should a student discontinue the double-degree program and seek to take out a single degree, it will be necessary to complete all of the requirements of that single degree. Course requirementsStudents require a total of 240 points, of which not less than 144 points must be obtained from the engineering units listed below. The arts component requires 96 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.
