Undergraduate - CourseBachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Commerce

This course provides students with the broad-based capability for the solution, implementation and management of engineering activities in an environmental context, in combination with a wide range of disciplines offered by the Faculty of Business and Economics.

Refer to the outcomes for the single degrees 4643 Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) and 0179 Bachelor of Commerce.

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.

This course consists of:

(a.) 156 points of environmental engineering studies composed of core and elective units, and foundation units if required, plus a choice of streams at levels four and five from:

• water and land management
• transport and the built environment

(b.) 96 points of commerce studies composed of core units, elective units if required, and a major.

Refer to the course mapcourse map (http://www.eng.monash.edu.au/current-students/course-map.html) for guidance on how to plan your unit enrolment for each semester of study.

Note: Students complete electives as follows:

(a.) zero stream electives if they completed:

• a foundation unit at level one
• BTC3100 as part of the Engineering component, that is, not in one of the available Bachelor of Commerce majors

(b.) one stream elective if they:

• did not require a foundation unit at level one
• completed BTC3100 as part of the Engineering component, that is, not in one of the available Bachelor of Commerce majors

(c.) two stream electives if they:

• did not require Foundation units at level one
• completed BTC3100 as part of one of the available Bachelor of Commerce majors.

* If this unit is completed as part of the Bachelor of Commerce component of this double degree, students instead complete an elective from their chosen stream.

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 none or one foundation unit from:

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

Streams

Students complete core units comprising topics, project and design elements, and elective/s (if required) in one of the available streams.

Core units

• CIV3205 Project management for civil engineers
• ENE4603 Environmental project A
• ENE4212 Environmental design

Water and land management electives

• CIV2207 Computer and water systems modelling
