Undergraduate - Course3820 - Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Business and Commerce

This multidisciplinary course has been designed to attract students interested in civil engineering, sustainable development and business management.

The civil and environmental engineering component provides a broad-based capability for the design, implementation and management of civil engineering solutions in an environmental context.

The business and commerce component will equip students with in-depth knowledge and skills in at least one chosen business discipline, combined with a broad knowledge of all the major areas of business.

Refer to the outcomes for the single degrees 3274 Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and 2224 Bachelor of Business and Commerce.

Vacation work/industrial experience

In 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 degree are not eligible to graduate until this work experience has been completed and a satisfactory report submitted.

The course has three main components:

• a set of core units which provide an introduction to the key areas of business study
• a major from the Faculty of Business and Economics (this major must be selected from majors available on the Gippsland campus and all units taken as part of this major must be from the Gippsland campus)
• a specialisation in civil and environmental engineering.

Business and Commerce

• Accounting
• Economics
• Finance and macroeconomics
• Human resource management
• Management
• Marketing

Students must complete 42 units over a maximum of 10 years as follows:

Business and commerce component

(a.) 16 units (96 points) taken from the Bachelor of Business and Commerce at the Gippsland campus as follows:

(i.) seven compulsory common core units (42 points):

• ACG1000 Principles of accounting and finance
• BTG1200 Business law
• ECG1101 Introductory microeconomics
• ETG1102 Business statistics*
• MGG1010 Introduction to management
• MKG1120 Marketing theory and practice
• BEX3120 Perspectives on global business issues

* Note: Credit will be given for this unit on the basis of passes in compulsory units in the Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (Honours) component: ENV2792 (Mathematical models of the environment) and MAT2731 (Engineering mathematical analysis).

(ii.) a major of eight units (48 points):**

• the major must come from the approved majors listed under 'Areas of study'
• at least two units (12 points) must be completed at each of second and third-year levels.

** Note: Depending on the major chosen, one 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 units as detailed below.

(iii.) additional units selected from the faculty in the Bachelor of Business and Commerce to reach the required minimum of 16 units (96 points).

Additional degree requirements for the Faculty of Business and Economics:

• a maximum of eight first-year level units (48 points)
• a minimum of four third-year level units (24 points) from those offered by the faculty at the Gippsland campus
• in addition to specific unit prerequisites, second-year level units require the successful completion of three first-year level units and third-year level units require the successful completion of two second-year level units.

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.
