Professional recognition of courses


The Bachelor of Engineering courses at all campuses, the engineering double degree courses at Clayton and Gippsland and the Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering at Clayton are all accredited for the purpose of admission to membership of the Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust). The Bachelor of Engineering courses at Caulfield and the Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering at Clayton are also recognised for the purpose of admission to the Australian Computer Society.

Of the more recently commenced courses, the Bachelor of Environmental Engineering course has been designed to meet the accreditation requirements of the IEAust and preliminary accreditation has been sought. The Bachelor of Engineering Studies course at Gippsland has been designed to allow graduates to complete a further year of full-time on-campus study to obtain a Bachelor of Engineering degree which will entitle them to professional membership of the IEAust. The Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Engineering) at Gippsland has received provisional accreditation from the Institution of Engineers, Australia and will be submitted for recognition to the Australian Computer Society.

The Bachelor of Technology (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) has received full recognition of its graduates as affiliate members of the IEAust; the Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) course has been developed for recognition as above, and was submitted for preliminary assessment in 1996.

Vacation work/industrial experience

In order to fulfil the requirements of the various degree regulations and of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, all engineering students must complete twelve 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).
