The Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Arts double degree program is available to candidates pursuing studies in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer systems engineering, materials engineering and mechanical engineering, and can normally be completed in five years of full-time study (see note 1 below).
The subjects required for the BE in each of the engineering courses are listed below, and the requirements for degree completion are stipulated at the end of each list.
For the BA, candidates must complete an approved major sequence (fifty-two points) in one discipline and an approved minor sequence (twenty-eight points) in another discipline for a total of eighty points. Both disciplines must be chosen from those listed in Arts subject list A, part I in the Faculty of Arts handbook.
1 The BE/BA was originally established to enable candidates concurrently to study engineering and one of several languages and related subjects. Special efforts were made by the faculties of Engineering and Arts to achieve workable timetables for the courses of the four engineering departments involved and courses in French, German, Indonesian, Japanese, Spanish and, in the case of the Department of Civil Engineering only, visual arts. However, now that any arts major and any arts minor sequence can be taken, candidates are warned that timetabling difficulties may be encountered and that it may not be possible in all cases to complete the double degree in five years of full-time study.
2 Candidates are responsible for compiling their own timetables, and may not exceed twenty-eight credit points in any semester.
3 The prerequisites and corequisites set out in Arts list I, part 1 and in the outline of studies section of the Faculty of Arts handbook must be satisfied.
4 Structure. In the first year of study candidates should take level-one engineering subjects worth thirty-six credit points (all those listed in level one for the relevant course except those asterisked [*], which should be taken in a subsequent year) and a twelve-point first-year sequence in arts. Thereafter candidates may structure their courses as they wish, having regard to the constraints imposed by timetabling and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later-year subjects. The latter will probably require most candidates to take some engineering and some arts subjects in each year of study. Candidates in language disciplines are advised to ensure continuity of language study.
