Handbook

These course outcomes are aligned with the Australian Qualifications Framework and Monash Graduate Attributes.

Students in the double degree course achieve the Course Learning Outcomes of the two partner courses.

Refer to the Course description for each partner course.

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Engineering

E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a specialist course that develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice: fundamentals and breadth study, design, knowledge and applications, and professional practice.

Part A. Engineering fundamentals and breadth study

These units will develop your understanding of natural and physical sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences that underpin all engineering disciplines.  If you have not completed the Australian VCE (Units 3 & 4) or equivalent Specialist mathematics and/or Physics with the required study score you will need to enrol in the foundation units ENG1090 and/or PHS1001.

Part B. Engineering design

These units will develop the engineering techniques, tools and resources for the conduct, design and management of engineering design processes and projects, both in the industrial setting and in the development of research experiments.

Part C. Engineering knowledge and application

These units will provide in-depth knowledge of the specific engineering methods of a branch of engineering and will integrate the specific engineering methods and discipline knowledge into practice. You will develop skills to identify and apply knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline. Additionally, your studies will focus on your understanding and application of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in your discipline.

Part D. Professional practice

These units will develop your skills in readiness for the engineering workplace. You will develop skills in effective team membership and team leadership, the use and management of commercially relevant data, and the legal responsibilities of engineers. This study will integrate the theme 'Engineering knowledge and application' with your specialist field of engineering.

Science

S2000 Bachelor of Science is a comprehensive course, structured into three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete:

Part A. Science specified study

This will expose you to several science disciplines contributing breadth to your understanding of science and giving you the opportunity to learn more about several disciplines before finalising your choice of major. It will also provide you with the mathematical or statistical foundation for your study of science.

Part B. Science listed major

This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will learn to develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of the discipline.

The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.

You may be eligible to exit the double degree program and graduate with either a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (E3001) named degree or a Bachelor of Science (S2000) after four or three years respectively, depending on the units you have studied.

If you wish to graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (E3001) named degree prior to the completion of the double degree, you must have completed at least 192 credit points of studies, of which 168 credit points must be engineering study including all of the requirements in Parts A, B, C and D; plus 24 credit point of elective units from Part E (Elective study - Specialisation) at level 3, 4 or 5 for the particular engineering specialisation in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (E3001) degree.

If you wish to graduate with a Bachelor of Science (S2000) degree prior to the completion of the double degree, you must have completed at least 144 credit points of studies, including all of the requirements in Part A and B for the Bachelor of Science (S2000) degree.
