Monash University Handbook 2011Undergraduate courses by faculty: Faculty of EngineeringFaculty of Engineering courses collation-ug-byfaculty-eng 3275 - Bachelor of Aerospace EngineeringThis course entry should be read in conjunction with information provided in the 'Faculty information' section of this Handbook by the Faculty of Engineering
DescriptionThis 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. ObjectivesStudents 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. 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 StructureLevel 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 technical electives drawn from across the faculty. The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement. RequirementsLevel oneCore units

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 beyond four years 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. ObjectivesStudies 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. 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 StructureTwo 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 level 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. RequirementsThe 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. For information about course requirements for later levels of this program, students should refer to the entries in their chosen engineering branch before selecting all their level one units.

Total: 48 points Chemical engineering(Clayton/Sunway)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 studyUpon 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. BiotechnologyThe 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 materialsNanotechnology 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 processingSustainable 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. Level two

Stream unitsBiotechnologyNanotechnology and materialsSustainable processingTotal: 48 points Civil engineering(Clayton)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 of the core units (6 points each) and a minimum of four civil engineering electives (6 points each).

Notes
DescriptionThe 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. 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, 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 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.

Notes
DescriptionThe program is only available to students in the discipline 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. ObjectivesThe aim of this program is:
Upon graduation students are expected to fully function professionally in both disciplines, separately or integrated, as a product design engineer. 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).

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 StructureIn 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 and engineering as outlined in the requirements. Not less than 156 points must be obtained from the engineering units listed below. 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 at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2011handbooks/aos/index-ug-byfaculty-arts.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.

Notes
DescriptionThis program provides the opportunity to combine studies in astrophysics, computer science, mathematics or physics disciplines with mechatronics engineering. The mechatronics engineering studies are undertaken in either a generic sequence or a computer science sequence and restrictions have been imposed in terms of prescribed units to ensure that students pursue studies that suitably equip them for the subsequent stages in science and engineering. ObjectivesThis program provides an opportunity to combine studies in several areas of science with mechatronics engineering. 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).

Professional recognitionFor information about professional recognition of Faculty of Engineering courses visit http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2011handbooks/undergrad/eng-03.html StructureStudents must complete major and minor sequences towards the science component of this double-degree. Students may pursue a science major sequence in:
Students with a strong mathematics background and a keen interest in the subject could replace the units MTH1030 and MTH2010 with their advanced versions MTH1035 and MTH2015 respectively. Enrolment in these units is with permission from the head of the School of Mathematics. 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 stage 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/2011handbooks/undergrad/sci-aos-clayton.html. Students should contact the appropriate science or engineering course adviser before enrolling in any stage of the double-degree program, to ensure that the program they wish to follow will satisfy prerequisites necessary for higher stages. In some special cases, students may choose to overload at stages 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 lstages in science and engineering. The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement. RequirementsStudents must complete units as listed for each sequence below. The engineering component requires not less than 144 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 stage 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. Students with a strong mathematics background and a keen interest in the subject could replace the units MTH1030 and MTH2010 with their advanced versions MTH1035 and MTH2015 respectively. Enrolment in these units is with permission from the head of the School of Mathematics. Students in this 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.

DescriptionThis 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. 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 Science. 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).

Professional recognitionFor information about professional recognition of Faculty of Engineering courses visit http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2011handbooks/undergrad/eng-03.html StructureThe 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 stage 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. Students with a strong mathematics background and a keen interest in the subject could replace the units MTH1030 and MTH2010 with their advanced versions MTH1035 and MTH2015 respectively. Enrolment in these units is with permission from the head of the School of Mathematics.
