Undergraduate - CourseBachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Architectural Design

This double degree program is designed for students who are interested in civil engineering with a thorough understanding of how buildings function. The architectural design component enables students to express their building design in an innovative way whereas the civil engineering component enables students to understand the load path and design safety issues associated with the architectural design.

The Bachelor of Architectural Design component offers a program of education in the discipline of architecture and provides the first of two degrees required for professional registration. The engineering component of the program is only available to students in the discipline of civil engineering.

Graduates from this program, while not eligible for architecture registration, will be qualified engineers and highly skilled designers and design thinkers. They will work closely with architects to develop solutions to client's projects that integrate form and appearance with practical functionality leading to sustainable, innovative solutions, and be able to provide leadership in the design and construction of the built environment, collaborating with clients, builders and other design professionals. They will also be able to provide solutions to a wide variety of engineering and social problems through creative thinking and realistic applications to building in a sustainable way, and will be equipped with contemporary knowledge and technological skills to critically analyse problems and research solutions.

Refer to the two single degree entries for 4632 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and 3119 Bachelor of Architectural Design.

Vacation work/industrial experience

The Faculty of Engineering strongly recommends that all undergraduate students enrolled in four, five and six year engineering single or double degrees complete 12 weeks of engineering vacation employment. Vacation employment is an integral part of student development, and is an excellent avenue to prepare for future engineering careers by gaining experience in an industrial setting and establishing industry networks.

Refer to the Faculty of Engineering's Professional recognition of coursesProfessional recognition of courses (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/2014handbooks/undergrad/eng-03.html) page in this Handbook.

Upon completion of both the Bachelor of Architectural Design component and 3120 Master of Architecture, students will have achieved the Architects Accreditation Council of Australia (AACA) National Competency Standards applicable to university courses and will comply with the Royal Australian Institute of Architecture (RAIA) Education Policy Performance Criteria.

This course consists of:

(a.) 138 points of civil engineering studies, incorporating core units and electives

(b.) 114 points of core studies in architectural design.

Foundation units

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.

Students who have not completed VCE units 3 and 4 of Chemistry or Physics and/or Specialist mathematics are required to select one or two appropriate foundation units(s) from:

• ENG1070 Foundation chemistry
• PHS1080 Foundation physics
• ENG1090 Foundation mathematics

Stage two electives

• CHE2161 Mechanics of fluids or MEC2404 Mechanics of fluids
• CHM1011 Chemistry I
• ECE2041 Telecommunications
• ECE2072 Digital systems
• ENE1621 Environmental engineering
• ENG1021 Spatial communication in engineering
• ENG1071 Chemistry for engineering
• ENG1081 Physics for engineering
• MAE2405 Aircraft performance
• MNE1010 Introduction to mining
• 6-point elective from any faculty*

* This unit may be chosen from within the faculty or from a discipline offered by another faculty. The elective should not substantially duplicate a unit already studied and must be approved by the course adviser. Students must be able to meet any unit prerequisites.

Civil engineering electives

• CIV3203 Civil engineering construction
• CIV4211 Project B*
• CIV4234 Advanced structural analysis
• CIV4235 Advanced structural design
• CIV4248 Ground hazards and environmental geotechnics

• CIV4268 Water resources management
• CIV4283 Transport planning
• CIV4284 Transport systems

* Departmental approval only.

Architectural design component

Students must complete 114 points of architectural design studies:

• AHT1101 Introduction to visual culture in art design and architecture
• ARC1001 Foundation studio 1 (12 points)
• ARC1002 Foundation studio 2 (12 points)
