This course entry should be read in conjunction with information provided in the 'Faculty information' section of this Handbook by the Faculty of Engineering
Notes
DescriptionCandidates for the Bachelor of Engineering choose to specialise in one of the following branches of engineering:
The common level one studies allow students to keep open the option of entering any of the 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. ObjectivesThis 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. Vacation work/industrial experienceIn order to fulfil the requirements of the various degree regulations and Engineers Australia, all engineering students must complete 12 weeks of approved engineering work experience and submit a report on that work. Such work is normally undertaken in the vacations between second and third years and/or between third and fourth years (but may also be taken between first and second years). Students who have completed all academic requirements for their degrees are not eligible to graduate until this work experience has been completed and a satisfactory report submitted. Professional recognitionFor information about professional recognition of Faculty of Engineering courses visit http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2011handbooks/undergrad/eng-03.html StructureThe 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/2011handbooks/aos/index-ug-byfaculty-arts.html. The engineering component of this double-degree will require 156 points in total. 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 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. RequirementsArts componentThe arts component requires 96 points in total, consisting of*:

Foundation unitsPlus (depending on VCE subjects completed) none or one foundation unit from: Total: 36 points For information about course requirements for later levels of this program, students should refer to the double-degree entries (below) in their chosen engineering branch. Chemical engineeringStudents enter this branch of engineering after completion of the common level one studies. It is recommended that students wishing to enter this branch of engineering complete ENG1010 at level one. Students require a total of 252 points including 96 points of arts studies and those gained at level one, of which not less than 156 points must be obtained from the engineering units listed below. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a new course structure for students entering second year of the program from 2011 onwards. Students who entered second year of the program prior to 2011 should refer to the Handbook for the year in which they commenced the course.
