As noted in the introduction to the `Outline of undergraduate studies', subject to university approval, the faculty intends to replace the degree programs previously offered at Caulfield, Clayton and Gippsland with a single Bachelor of Engineering degree to be offered in a variety of streams across three campuses. The first level of the new degree, common to all streams of engineering, commences in 1998 as outlined below in this handbook. Again, subject to approval, the second level of the new degree will be introduced in 1999. All students admitted to candidature for a Bachelor of Engineering degree in 1998 will automatically be transferred to streams of the new degree at the end of that year.
The new stream to be offered at Gippsland will be interdisciplinary engineering. This integrated program will provide an opportunity for students to develop a broad-based understanding of engineering, and has been structured so that a decision as to which specialty will be followed can be deferred until an informed choice can be made towards the end of second level.
A series of `majors' will be introduced in the fields of civil, electrical, mechanical and information engineering. Whilst these majors offer similar study structures to those detailed in the current levels two, three and four given below, a full outline of the new stream with all the options to be available, is currently under preparation. Further information on the detail of this new stream is available from the Gippsland School of Engineering.
