Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Engineering
Clayton campus
Course code: 0085
On completion of this course students should:
- have a sound knowledge and understanding of the relevant mathematics and
science, scientific method and technology;
- have developed particular and specific skills related to the major areas
of study in both science and engineering;
- have progressed from a broad fundamental knowledge base to advanced
studies in focused discipline areas of specialist engineering;
- be skilled in research techniques and the systematic organisation of
ideas and material, and creative with problem solving;
- be able to integrate knowledge from different discipline areas to
synthesise a coherent and effective approach to problem solving;
- have become proficient in oral and written communication;
- be able to use existing technology effectively and contribute towards the
development of new technology;
- have a recognition of the need for continuous change and development;
- be aware of ethical standards and responsibilities;
- have developed the appropriate attitudes to relationships with the
community and other members of the engineering profession.
The faculties of Science and Engineering have established a five-year
course which, after three years of study, qualifies students for the BSc degree
and, after a further two years, for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering.
In the first three years of study students' progress will be subject to Science
faculty policies and rules, including examinations.
The fourth and fifth years of the course will be pursued entirely within, and
under the control of, the Engineering faculty.
Students wishing to qualify with a BSc(Hons) may take the honours year before
proceeding to their final two years in the Engineering faculty.
Students embarking on this course pursue combinations of subjects from both
faculties. The course is structured so that progression to the BSc
qualification, ie the first three years, is governed by the BSc regulations,
except that restrictions in terms of subject choices have been imposed to
ensure that only those studies which equip students to undertake the subsequent
engineering studies can be pursued.
All students should see the double degree engineering course adviser at the end
of each year in order to finalise their engineering enrolment for the following
year.
The Faculty of Engineering is currently revising its syllabus for the
Bachelor of Engineering progressively from level one. The level one engineering
subjects listed under all streams and sequences below have not yet been
approved. Students will receive subject guides at the time of
enrolment/re-enrolment.
All students should note that if they are pursuing a computer science
major they may not enrol in ECS1610.

Students are advised to take, in mathematics and physics subjects, any
optional units in fluid mechanics or dynamics, thermodynamics, computing,
materials science, electricity and magnetism, and mechanics or dynamics. The
objective is to minimise the need to take second-year engineering subjects at
stage four and to take full fourth-year mechanical engineering at stage five of
the double degree.
