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
DescriptionThis double-degree course is intended for potential engineers who wish to become more aware of economic, social, organisational and managerial aspects of the engineering profession. Candidates 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. ObjectivesRefer to the two single degree entries at http://monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/0179.html and http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/courses/0032.html. 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 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 recognitionThis degree is recognised by the following legal entities:
Professional recognition may be dependent upon work experience requirements and the correct choice of units.

RequirementsThe degree requires completion of 252 points over a maximum of 10 years as follows: Commerce component(a.) students must complete 16 units (96 points) from the Faculty of Business and Economics as follows: (i.) completion of six compulsory common core units (36 points):
(ii.) completion of at least two units (12 points) from the following:
(iii.) a major of eight units (48 points):*
* Note: Depending on the major chosen, one or more of the units in the major may have already been studied as part of the group of common core units - where this is the case, students will complete additional unit/s as detailed below. (iv.) additional units from the faculty in the Bachelor of Commerce at the Clayton campus to reach the required minimum of 16 units (96 points). Additional Bachelor of Commerce degree requirements:
Engineering component(b.) students must complete between 144 and 156 points from the Faculty of Engineering as follows: (i.) first year - for all engineering branches of study, students complete six units (36 points) of engineering: Two compulsory core units (12 points): three or four elective units (18-24 points) from:
none, or one (depending on VCE subjects completed) foundation units (0-6 points) from: (ii.) students are required to complete one of the engineering branches listed below (120 points). Branches offered by the Faculty of EngineeringIn addition to the 36 points of level one engineering units, students need to complete the following units relevant to their chosen branch of engineering: Chemical engineering (120 points)IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a new course structure for students entering second year of the program from 2011 onwards.
