This course will focus on aerodynamics, aerospace materials, aerospace structures, propulsion and aerospace instrumentation and control. This will be complemented by a major emphasis on design, which will be taught with a project-based focus. 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.

Students will acquire knowledge in the core disciplines underpinning aerospace engineering 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. They will develop a range of management skills, including project management and will gain a perspective on the rapid change of the industry, which will illustrate the need to engage in lifelong learning.

Level one includes the basic sciences such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, combined with one introductory aerospace engineering unit. The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

The core discipline areas of aerospace engineering include: aerodynamics, propulsion, materials, structures, avionics/control, design and dynamics/mechanics. In each of these areas, the course has a unit that lays the foundations of the discipline at level two, followed by an advanced unit that provides a significant engineering practice component at level three. For the most part, the second unit at level three is a terminal unit in the discipline but there are integrative units in level four that further build on or complement these terminal discipline units.

At level four the orientation is towards professional and project-based units. There is also an inter-faculty elective and two electives drawn from across the faculty.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering

Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (with honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

This 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. 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.

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.

In the first level of study, students take the prescribed engineering units and a 12-point level one sequence in an arts discipline. Thereafter candidates undertake further studies in arts as outlined in the requirements (below) and studies in one of the offered branches of engineering.

In selecting units in both arts and engineering, students should be aware of any constraints imposed by timetabling and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later level units. Most students will probably undertake some engineering and some arts units in each level of 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 this handbook athttp://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/arts-ug-areas-of-study.html. It is recommended that students obtain the current requirements for their arts component from the Faculty of Arts at the time of enrolment. Students undertaking a language discipline are advised to ensure continuity of the language study.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students require a total of 240 points, of which not less than 144 points must be obtained from the engineering units listed below. The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

Bachelor of Arts

Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering

Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (with honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

This program provides an opportunity to combine studies in science with a specialisation in the field of aerospace engineering. In the double-degree course structure, restrictions have been imposed in terms of prescribed units to ensure that students pursue studies that suitably equip them for the subsequent levels in science and engineering.

Students will acquire knowledge in the core disciplines underpinning aerospace engineering 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. They will develop a range of management skills, including project management and will gain a perspective on the rapid change of the industry, which will illustrate the need to engage in lifelong learning. This program also provides an opportunity to combine studies in several areas of science.

Students must complete major and minor sequences towards the science component of this double-degree. In order to pursue a particular sequence, students must take the necessary science prerequisites in their first level of study. For details of major and minor sequences in science disciplines, refer to the `Science areas of studies and sequences - Clayton' in the Faculty of Science section of this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/sci-ug-study-clayton-intro.html. Students should contact the appropriate science or engineering course adviser before enrolling in any level of the double-degree program, to ensure that the program they wish to follow will satisfy prerequisites necessary for higher levels. In some special cases, students may choose to overload at levels two or three if they have not completed all of the prerequisites for their chosen science major sequences.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students must complete 240 points of units as listed below. The choice of either MTH1020 and MTH1030 or MTH1030 and MTH2010 at level one is determined by the level of preparation from VCE studies. See the Faculty of Science section of this handbook under 'Mathematics' for details of MTH1020 and MTH1030.

Students in the double-degree must complete either two major sequences in different science disciplines or a double major and a minor sequence in a different science discipline.

The engineering component requires not less than 132 points that must be obtained in units prescribed by this course list and the science component requires at least 108 points.

Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (with honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

The course offers a comprehensive training that spans all aspects of computers from hardware design to software systems. This course complements the Bachelor of Telecommunications Engineering and has a significant amount of common material material at levels one and two studies, allowing the interaction of students from both degree programs.

Students analyse, design, develop and manufacture all kinds of digital products, including both hardware and software. They learn to plan and design, commission, monitor, optimise and manage complex computer systems.

The course commences with the establishment of a sound foundation in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics and the physical sciences. Engineering units comprise approximately one-half laboratory based studies. Engineering management units strengthen the formal basis of project management. Elective units are provided to allow specialisation in some aspect of the field of study, with approved electives to permit broadening of intellectual and personal horizons. Approved electives comprise approximately 25 per cent of unit material at levels two and three of the course, with 50 per cent elective material at level four. The flexible elective structure permits students to choose the particular area of computer systems engineering they wish to initially specialise in upon graduation. Students are also encouraged, where appropriate, to use electives to take international studies, including human languages, and studies through the evolving collaborations with other universities overseas.

The design and thesis projects at levels three and four build self-reliance and planning capabilities in both individual and team-based environments. Projects are often related closely to the department's exceptionally strong research and collaborative industry programs within its research centres.

Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering

Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (with Honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

Candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering choose to specialise in one of the following branches of engineering*:

• chemical engineering
• civil engineering
• electrical and computer systems engineering
• materials engineering
• mechanical engineering
• mechatronics engineering.

The common level one studies allow students to keep open the option of entering any of the five branches. There are limits on the number of students who may enrol in each branch and, where demand exceeds supply, students will be admitted on the basis of academic merit (results at level one). Students who do not get their first choice will be offered a place in one of their other preferences. If students wish to change branches at a later level of the course, some additional units may be required and the transition could extend the duration of the course beyond four levels full-time.

Following the completion of the common level one, students transfer into one of the branches of engineering at Clayton or Sunway. Each of the branches of engineering is outlined below and requires an additional three levels of study after the completion of level one.

* Not all branches are offered at both campuses. See the individual branch entries below for details of offerings. Intake into level two of the industrial engineering and engineering management branch ceased at the end of 2006. Continuing students should refer to the Handbook entry for the year of their first enrolment. Archived Handbooks are available at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks.

Studies in this course aim to produce graduates with a foundation in general engineering and a detailed knowledge of a specialisation in one of the offered branches of engineering.

Two of the eight units in the common level one are compulsory. A student's choice of the remaining units must take into account both the amount of mathematics, chemistry and physics completed prior to admission to the course, and the branch of engineering into which the student hopes to proceed at the end of level one.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies:

• if a student has completed only one of VCE units 3 and 4 of Chemistry or Physics and has not completed VCE units 3 and 4 of Specialist Mathematics, the student will be required to complete ENG1090 and one of ENG1070 or ENG1080, depending on subjects not taken at VCE
• if a student has successfully completed VCE units 3 and 4 of Specialist Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, the student will have space for two electives. This will enable the student to take two units from ENG1061, ENG1071 and ENG1081. Alternatively, the student may take all five of the engineering electives and one of ENG1061, ENG1071 and ENG1081.

For information about course requirements for later levels of this program, students should refer to the entries in their chosen engineering branch.

Chemical engineering

Students may enter this branch of engineering at the Clayton or Sunway campus after completion of the common level one. It is recommended that students wishing to enter this branch of engineering complete ENG1010 at level one.

The core units covered at levels one and two provide the necessary background in the sciences, engineering fundamentals such as fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, and chemical engineering principles. Levels three and four of the course are designed around the core topics of mass transfer, heat transfer, separation processes, reaction engineering, chemical thermodynamics, process control, particle technology, process design, sustainability and safety. Practical work forms an essential part of many units, and considerable emphasis is placed on this aspect of the program. Process simulation software is used by students throughout the course. Management studies are introduced in later levels and a greater emphasis is placed on synthesis and design, culminating in each student completing a design project, and another major project in the final level. Students are given the opportunity to integrate a period of industrial experience or time at an overseas university with their studies.

Areas of study

Upon entry to the branch of chemical engineering, students choose to specialise in one of three streams. Each stream involves 126 points of core chemical engineering units and 18 points of units at levels three and four (6 points at level three and 12 points at level four) from one of the following three streams.

Biotechnology

The opportunities for the application of chemical engineering skills in biotechnology are widespread - from tissue engineering to biosensor development and from development of an artificial kidney to drug delivery - from fermentation processes to biofuels and from drug development to biopolymers.

Nanotechnology and materials

Nanotechnology is literally engineering at the molecular level. Over the last two decades, the ability to manipulate matter at the molecular level has improved dramatically. This revolution will allow fabrication of an entire new generation of products that are cleaner, stronger, lighter and more precise. Chemical engineers will play a major role in this revolution.

Sustainable processing

Sustainable processing is concerned with the principles of sustainability and life cycle assessment to the development of environmentally clean technologies for product manufacturing and power generation. In this stream, students will learn how to develop processes for generating energy and for manufacturing existing and new products from renewable raw material sources.

Civil engineering

Students may enter this branch of engineering at the Clayton campus after completion of the common level one. It is recommended that students wishing to enter this branch of engineering complete ENG1020 at level one.

The intention of level two is to develop 'sub-professional' skills, ie the ability to design commonplace engineering artefacts in the context of suitable theoretical treatment. At the same time, students gain some appreciation for the breadth of civil engineering. Theory is developed in parallel with the applications (problems). The theoretical insights are further developed at levels three and four, as more complex scenarios are considered.

Level three is designed to develop 'core professional' skills. It includes a management unit, engineering investigation, road engineering, two structural units, a water unit and a geomechanics unit. The water and geomechanics groups share a groundwater unit.

Level four is seen as a period of specialisation. Each student must take both 'Project A' and 'Civil engineering practice 4' (6 points each) and a minimum of four civil engineering electives (6 points each). The remaining 12 points may be taken anywhere within the University (including the Civil Engineering department), as long as the units do not substantially duplicate a unit already studied. Some of the electives are multidisciplinary.

Electrical and computer systems engineering

Students may enter this branch of engineering at the Clayton or Sunway campus after completion of the common level one. It is recommended that students wishing to enter the electrical and computer systems engineering (ECSE) branch complete ENG1030 and ENG1040 at level one.

The first three levels of the course provide a broad foundation in electrical and computer systems engineering and in the physical sciences such as physics, chemistry and mathematics. At levels three and four, students, while completing their core units and a management unit, are able to choose from a large number of electives in electrical power systems, computer systems, control engineering, electronics, telecommunications engineering, biomedical engineering and robotics. These units build upon material studied in earlier levels. Electives comprise approximately 37 per cent of levels three and four.

The design and thesis projects at level three and four build self-reliance and planning capabilities in both individual and team-based environments. Projects are often related closely to the department's exceptionally strong research and collaborative industry programs within its research centres.

Mechatronics engineering

Students may enter this branch of engineering at the Sunway* campus after completion of the common level one. It is recommended that students wishing to enter this branch of engineering complete ENG1020, ENG1030, ENG1040 and ENG1050 level one.

At level two, units focus on providing fundamental knowledge across the wide range of disciplines that form the basis of mechatronics. Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, electronics, mechanics, programming and digital electronics are some of the topics covered at level two.

At level three, further fundamental knowledge is introduced together with units that build on these fundamentals to cover areas of mechatronics to a professional level. These specialised areas include mechatronics and manufacturing, and power electronics and drives.

At level four, students undertake further units that draw together a wide range of fundamental knowledge in a mechatronics context such as robotics. Level four of the course allows for specialisation in wider areas of mechatronics through the selection of three elective units. Students have the opportunity to study a unit from another faculty as one of their electives and to undertake a substantial independent investigation in their chosen area of engineering interest. There is a strong emphasis on project work throughout the mechatronics course. As well as project units in second, third and fourth level many other units contain a strong project/design element.

* This branch of the Bachelor of Engineering ceased intake into level two at the Clayton campus at the end of 2005, but will continue to be offered at the Sunway campus as part of the Bachelor of Engineering. Students seeking to undertake mechatronics engineering at Clayton campus should consider applying for a course transfer into the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering.

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

The program is offered in the branches of chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer systems engineering, materials engineering and mechanical engineering. Selection of students into their chosen engineering branch is based on academic performance and departmental quotas after the completion of the common level one of the course.

This course enables students to complement studies in one of five branches of engineering by selecting units from the very wide range of disciplines offered by the Faculty of Arts in the humanities, social sciences and communication. For example, language programs are aimed at engineers who wish to position themselves to take advantage of opportunities in industry and government requiring multilingual skills, and there are obvious advantages in the combination of visual culture and civil engineering, which enables engineers to enhance their ability to cooperate with architects in the design of building structures.

The arts component of this double-degree will require 96 points in total. All disciplines must be chosen from those taught by the Faculty of Arts as listed in the 'Areas of study' section of this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/arts-ug-areas-of-study.html.

The engineering component of this double-degree will require 240-252 points in total, depending on the branch of engineering studied.

In the first level of study, students complete engineering units worth 36 points and a 12-point level one sequence in an arts discipline. Thereafter candidates undertake further studies in arts as outlined in the requirements (below) and studies in one of the offered branches of engineering.

In selecting units in both arts and engineering, students should be aware of any constraints imposed by timetabling and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later level units. Most students will probably undertake some engineering and some arts units in each level of study.

The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

The program is only available to students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and enables creative students to pursue their interests in both engineering design and industrial design, with a focus on high-technology consumer product design. With a continuing international trend to accelerated product development, facilitated by new interdisciplinary group techniques such as 'concurrent engineering', there is growing need for graduates with multidisciplinary skills and an ability to communicate with professionals from other disciplines: this course is intended to address that need.

There is a common technological core for both the Bachelor of Engineering (four-year) and the Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) (three-year) courses offered at Monash University. The amalgamation of the common cores means that the double degree still achieves the full objectives of both courses. Consequently, graduates will be able to synthesise advanced technology and consumer product design in the creation of new manufactured artefacts and will be able to facilitate cooperation in new product development teams by being sensitive to the different professional viewpoints of the team members.

The engineering component of the course is offered on the Clayton campus. The art and design component of the course is offered on the Caulfield campus. The course is timetabled, where possible, to allow whole days at one or the other campus.

The aim of this program is:

• to create graduates who are skilled in leading project design teams
• to facilitate communication between engineers and industrial designers
• to facilitate multi-disciplinary design teams.

Upon graduation students are expected to fully function professionally in both disciplines, separately or integrated, as a product design engineer.

The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

Level two units from the Bachelor of Engineering in the field of mechanical engineering are taken during levels two and three of the double-degree. The order in which they should be taken is determined by prerequisite requirements and the opportunities presented by the timetables at Clayton and Caulfield.

The lists outlined in the requirements for this degree are recommendation; students should adjust the programs for levels two and three to as needed.

It may not be possible to complete all level three units from the Bachelor of Engineering in the field of mechanical engineering by the end of level four of the program so one or two level three units will be taken at level five. The selection of the level four unit(s) will be determined by timetable restrictions at level four, and the need to complete any level four prerequisite units.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students require a total of 240 points, comprising 150 points of engineering units and 90 points of art and design units.

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.

Bachelor of Engineering

Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design)

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)

Bachelor of Engineering in the field of Mechanical Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) in the field of Mechanical Engineering

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

Students undertake a program of study combining pharmacy and both general and chemical engineering studies.

The aim of this course is to develop graduates with the knowledge and skills in the core disciplines underpinning chemical engineering and pharmaceutical science to pursue a career in the development and manufacturing of sophisticated formulated products such as pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics and consumer products.

Campus attendance

The course is structured to minimise inter-campus commuting. Students complete the common Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science level one program at Parkville before undertaking a compressed selection of common level one units and level two chemical engineering units at Clayton. At level three, the students return to Parkville campus to complete the core formulation science level two and three units. In the final two levels at Clayton students complete higher level chemical engineering units and the biotechnology stream. This program is only available to students pursuing the chemical engineering branch of the engineering component of the double-degree.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Variations in the course structure

The exact combination of engineering units depends on the student's prerequisite background on admission and whether any foundation units in mathematics or physics are required. The engineering component of the degree (levels two, four and five) therefore varies slightly depending on whether the student has completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) Physics 3/4 and/or Specialist mathematics or their equivalents.

Students complete one of the four course structures detailed below depending on their previous studies:

• course structure 1 is for students who have completed Specialist mathematics 3/4 but who have not completed VCE Physics 3/4 or the equivalent
• course structure 2 is for students who have completed VCE Physics 3/4 but who have not completed VCE Specialist mathematics 3/4 or the equivalent
• course structure 3 is for students who have not completed Specialist mathematics 3/4 and VCE Physics 3/4 or the equivalent
• course structure 4 is for students who have completed both VCE Specialist mathematics 3/4 and VCE Physics 3/4 or the equivalent.

The pharmacy component of the degree (levels one and three) is common to all students.

Students require a total of 240 points, comprising144 points of engineering units and 96 points of pharmacy units.

The environmental engineering course has been designed to be multidisciplinary. At third year, the selection of one major stream or two minor streams, provides for in-depth treatment of one or more specific areas of application of environmental engineering principles. Thus core engineering knowledge and skills are complemented by units from science, economics, arts and law. The elective streams include environmental process engineering, transport and the built environment, and water and land management.

This course provides students with the broad-based capability for the solution, implementation and management of engineering activities in an environmental context.

Level one of the course provides a broad base of science, mathematics, introductory engineering and environment units designed to form the basis of a multidisciplinary engineering education. The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

Level two increases the engineering content, which is a mixture of core engineering units and more environmentally directed units. Mathematics is continued. Environmental policy is introduced to begin to integrate the content gained from the other units.

Level three introduces more environmentally focused engineering units. It builds upon the core units of level two, provides units that address environmental impact and management systems, and sees the commencement of the selected elective stream(s). From level three, the course is divided into three streams:

• environmental process engineering
• transport and the built environment
• water and land management.

Students must choose one major or two minor elective streams, taking core units at each level as well as stream core and stream elective units from their chosen stream(s). Level four seeks to integrate and provide application for much of the earlier knowledge and skills developed by way of substantial engineering design and project work within the various specific elective streams. These units are complemented by further in-depth elective units, and interdisciplinary units from environmental law, economics and policy areas.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

This course focuses on mechatronics engineering by emphasising mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computing. Designing, utilising, maintaining and upgrading mechatronic devices and systems will require this knowledge. Also required will be an understanding of the synergies and trade-offs at the interfaces between the mechanical, electrical and computing elements in system and subsystem level that the devices and systems contain. Design projects at levels two, three and four of the course facilitate integration of mechanical, electrical and computing knowledge provided in the course.

This course aims to provide students with a solid grounding in mechatronics engineering by emphasising studies of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computing.

Level one focuses on providing students with a background in the foundation sciences, including mathematics. At the end of level one, all students (irrespective of their year 12 preparation) will have a basic foundation in chemistry, physics and mathematics.

Key areas of engineering important to the discipline of mechatronics are also undertaken, including civil, electrical, materials and mechanical engineering. The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

At level two, units focus on providing fundamental knowledge across the wide range of disciplines that form the basis of mechatronics. Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, electronics, mechanics, computer programming and digital electronics are some of the topics covered at level two.

During level three, further fundamental knowledge is introduced together with units that build on these fundamentals to cover areas of mechatronics to a professional level. These specialised areas include mechatronics and manufacturing, and power electronics and drives.

At level four, students undertake further units that draw together a wide range of fundamental knowledge in a mechatronics context such as robotics. Level four of the course allows for specialisation in wider areas of mechatronics through the selection of three elective units. Students have the opportunity to study a unit from another faculty as one of their electives and to undertake a substantial independent investigation in their chosen area of engineering interest. There is a strong emphasis on project work throughout the mechatronics course. As well as project units at levels two, three and four, many other units contain a strong project/design element.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students complement studies in mechatronics engineering by selecting units from the Faculty of Arts.

This course enables students to complement studies in mechatronics engineering by selecting units from the very wide range of disciplines offered by the Faculty of Arts in the humanities, social sciences and communication. Language programs are aimed at engineers who wish to position themselves to take advantage of opportunities in industry and government requiring multilingual skills.

In the first level of study, candidates should take level one engineering units worth 36 points and a 12-point level one sequence in an arts discipline. Thereafter candidates undertake further studies in arts as outlined in the requirements (below) and studies in one of the offered branches of engineering.

In selecting units in both arts and engineering, students should be aware of any constraints imposed by timetabling and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later level units. Most students will probably undertake some engineering and some arts units in each level of study.

Candidates in language disciplines are advised to ensure continuity of 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 this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/arts-ug-areas-of-study.html. Candidates in language disciplines are advised to ensure continuity of language study.

The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students require a total of 252 points, of which not less than 156 points must be obtained from the engineering units listed below.

Should a student discontinue the double-degree program and seek to take out either of the single degrees, it will be necessary to complete all of the requirements of that single degree.

Bachelor of Arts

Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering

Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (with Honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

This program provides an opportunity to combine studies in several areas of science with mechatronics engineering.

Students must complete major and minor sequences towards the science component of this double-degree. Students may pursue a science major sequence in:

• astrophysics
• mathematics
• physics
• computer science.

There are two streams in the mechatronics engineering component of the degree which allows students to undertake either a generic sequence or a computer science sequence. Students wishing to take the computer science stream will need to undertake computer science as a major science sequence.

In order to pursue a particular sequence, students must take the necessary science prerequisites in their first level of study. For details of major and minor sequences in science disciplines refer to the 'Science areas of studies and sequences - Clayton' in the Faculty of Science section of this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/sci-ug-study-clayton-intro.html.

Students should contact the appropriate science or engineering course adviser before enrolling in any level of the double-degree program, to ensure that the program they wish to follow will satisfy prerequisites necessary for higher levels. In some special cases, students may choose to overload at levels two or three if they have not completed all of the prerequisites for their chosen science major sequences.

In this double-degree course, restrictions have been imposed in terms of prescribed units to ensure that students pursue studies that suitably equip them for the subsequent levels in science and engineering.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students must complete 240 points of units as listed for each sequence below. The engineering component requires not less than 132 points that must be obtained in units prescribed by this course list, and the science component requires at least 108 points.

The choice of either MTH1020 and MTH1030 or MTH1030 and MTH2010 at level one is determined by the level of preparation from VCE studies, and students who have not completed level one and two Physics should take PHS1080 rather than PHS1011. See the Faculty of Science section of this handbook under 'Mathematics' for details of MTH1020 and MTH1030 and under 'Physics' for details of PHS1011 and PHS1080.

Students in the double-degree must complete either two major sequences in different science disciplines or a double major and a minor sequence in a different science discipline.

* Any sequence in science may be taken, provided the appropriate sequence requirements and prerequisites are completed. In some cases, students may elect to seek approval for an overloaded course of up to 12 points at level two or three to enable these requirements to be completed in addition to the required science units at level two.

** Students considering entry to honours in computer science need to complete at least 24 points of level three computer science units, which may require an overloaded course to be approved if a double major in computer science is not completed at level four.

Students may apply for admission to an honours level in science following the completion of an approved combination of at least 144 points of units including all of the normal science requirements for that branch of the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering, with at least 96 points of science units and no more than 48 points of level one science units.

Students who are considering doing honours in science prior to completing the double-degree should consult with the Faculty of Science regarding their unit selection prior to re-enrolling for level three.

Students may graduate with a Bachelor of Science following the completion of an approved combination of at least 144 points of units including all of the normal science requirements for that branch of the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering, with at least 96 points of science units and no more than 48 points of level one science units.

Should a student discontinue the double-degree program and seek to take out the Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering, it will be necessary to complete all of the requirements of that single degree.

Bachelor of Science

Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering

Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (with Honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

This program provides an opportunity to combine studies in many areas of science with a specialisation in one of the following branches of engineering: chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer systems engineering, materials engineering and mechanical engineering.

This course enables students to complement studies in one of five branches of engineering by selecting units from the very wide range of disciplines offered by the Faculty of Science.

The first two semesters of the course are largely common to all branches of engineering studies, with all students studying mathematics, some engineering units and either chemistry or physics. Normally students must identify which branch of engineering they plan to study at the commencement of level one, but those who are unsure of which branch to pursue are advised to consider enrolling in CHM1011, MTH1030 (or MTH1020) and PHS1011 (or PHS1080) and either ENG1060 or an engineering unit in a branch of interest in their first semester, and to consult the academic adviser prior to second semester for further unit selection.

The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Selected units are specified for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.

Core studies

Students must complete major and minor sequences towards the science component of this double-degree. Students in all engineering branches may pursue a science major sequence in:

• astrophysics
• mathematics
• physics
• computer science.

There are additional science sequences offered in some streams, including:

• physiology (leading to biomedical engineering in the electrical and computer systems engineering and mechanical engineering branches, and biomaterials engineering in the materials engineering branch)
• atmospheric science, biochemistry, geosciences, chemistry, materials science, chemistry and life sciences in the chemical engineering branch
• geosciences, atmospheric science, biology/ecology and materials science in the civil engineering branch.
• atmospheric science, biochemistry, geosciences, chemistry, materials science, chemistry and life sciences in the materials engineering branch.

In order to pursue a particular sequence, students must take the necessary science prerequisites in their first level of study. For details of major and minor sequences in science disciplines refer to the `Science areas of studies and sequences - Clayton' in the Faculty of Science section of this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/sci-ug-study-clayton-intro.html.

Students should contact the appropriate science or engineering course adviser before enrolling in any level of the double degree program, to ensure that the program they wish to follow will satisfy prerequisites necessary for higher levels. In some special cases, students may choose to overload at levels two or three if they have not completed all of the prerequisites for their chosen science major sequences.

In this double degree course structure, restrictions have been imposed in terms of prescribed units to ensure that students pursue studies that suitably equip them for the subsequent levels in science and engineering.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Students must complete 240 points of units as listed for each sequence below.

The choice of either MTH1020 and MTH1030 or MTH1030 and MTH2010 at level one is determined by the level of preparation from VCE studies, and students who have not completed year 12 Physics should take PHS1080 rather than PHS1011. See the Faculty of Science section of this handbook under 'Mathematics' for details of MTH1020 and MTH1030 and under `Physics' for details of PHS1011 and PHS1080.

Depending on the engineering stream, students in the double-degree must complete two major sequences in different science disciplines, or a double major and a minor sequence in a different science discipline, or a major and three minor sequences.

The engineering component requires not less than 132 points that must be obtained in units prescribed by this course list, and the science component requires no less than 108 points, including at least 24 points of level three science units.

Mechatronics engineering

The engineering component requires not less than 132 points that must be obtained in units prescribed by this course list, and the science component requires at least 108 points. Students must also complete either two majors or a double major and a minor in two different science disciplines.

This branch ceased intake into level two at the end of 2005. Students seeking to combine science with mechatronics engineering should consider applying for a course transfer into the new Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering and Bachelor of Science double-degree program. Any students studying below level four should consult the Handbook for the year in which they commenced their studies.

*Any sequence in science may be taken, provided the appropriate sequence requirements and prerequisites are completed. In some cases, students may elect to seek approval for an overloaded course of up to 12 points at level two or three to enable these requirements to be completed in addition to the required science units at level two.

Students may apply for admission to an honours level in science, following the completion of an approved combination of at least 144 points of units including all of the normal science requirements for that branch of the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering, with at least 96 points of science units and no more than 48 points of level one science units. Students who are considering doing honours in science prior to completing the double-degree should consult with the Faculty of Science regarding their unit selection prior to re-enrolling for level three.

Students may graduate with a Bachelor of Science, following the completion of an approved combination of at least 144 points of units including all of the normal science requirements for that branch of the Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering, with at least 96 points of science units and no more than 48 points of level one science units.

Should a student discontinue the double-degree program and seek to take out the Bachelor of Engineering, it will be necessary to complete all of the requirements of that single degree.

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.

This course is a collaboration articulated with the Diploma of the Built Environment offered at Holmesglen Institute of TAFE. After successful completion of level one of the diploma (65 per cent average), students may transfer directly into level two of the Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure - Design, Construction and Management) offered by Monash and complete the final two levels of the degree. Throughout the program, there is strong emphasis on the application of information technology and the holistic development of the individual.

The course aims to provide the knowledge, skills and attitudes to build, manage and design the exciting infrastructure projects of the future.

Entry into the second level of study at Monash University introduces students to university training in transportation, water supply engineering and civil engineering design in some of the most popular construction materials, including concrete, steel, timber and masonry.
