Notes
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.
In order to fulfil the requirements of the various degree regulations and Engineers Australia, all engineering students must complete 12 weeks of approved engineering vacation employment 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 vacation employment has been completed and a satisfactory report submitted.
For information about professional recognition of Faculty of Engineering courses visit http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2012handbooks/undergrad/eng-03.html
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 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. Students will need to seek permission to enrol in these units at the Faculty of Science, Student Academic Services office (contact details at http://www.science.monash.edu.au/contact/undergrad.html).
Students must complete major and minor sequences in different areas of study towards the science component of this double degree. For more specific information refer to the relevant Engineering stream.
In order to pursue a particular science 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/2012handbooks/undergrad/sci-aos-clayton.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 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 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 units as listed for each stream and sequence below.
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.
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. Students must complete either two major sequences or a double major and a minor sequence or one major and three minor sequences in different science areas of study.
Important note: this was a new course structure for students entering the program from 2011 onwards. Students who entered the program prior to 2012 should refer to the Handbook for the year in which they commenced the course. Archived Handbooks are available at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/archive.html.
