* Students enrolled in the double degree E3010 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Computer Science should replace FIT2085 with an additional approved elective from Part E.

** Students enrolled in the double degree E3011 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Information Technology should replace FIT3171 with an additional level 3 or 4 approved elective from Part E.

*** Students undertaking the software engineering specialisation may apply for selection (in their second year) into the Faculty of Information Technology's industry-based learning (IBL) placement program. The 18-point placement unit is completed in semester 2 of third year in the standard progression map, and replaces the software engineering technical elective.

Part E. Elective study (36 points)

Single degree students complete a. and b. below:

1. 12 points of electives at level 2 or 3 from one of the following options:
   • the remaining two units required to complete an engineering-approved minorengineering-approved minor (http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/eng-beng-approved-minors.html) from another faculty (if the first two units in the minor were completed at level 1)
   • level 2 or 3 units from the list of technical electives below
   • other electives chosen in consultation the course adviser
2. 24 points of level 3 and 4 units from the list of technical electives below

   For students completing a double degree, some units required for the partner degree are credited as electives towards this degree.
