Overview

With this engineering/arts double degree, you will have a portfolio uniquely tailored to meet your interests and aspirations, while providing complementary skills in technology and communications. It offers diversity, flexibility and more career choices, along with the transferable skills employers are seeking: communication, teamwork, research and critical thinking.

The common first year in engineering provides scientific and design foundations. It focuses on real-life problems to illustrate the interaction between engineering and society and introduces the range of engineering disciplines available. You will pursue your specialist engineering discipline from year two. At the same time, the arts course provides you with a comprehensive gateway to approximately forty areas of study across the arts, humanities and social sciences.

First-year units

Engineering component

168 cp

You must complete 168 credit points comprising all of Part A, six credit points from Part B, all of Part C, all of Part D and 24 credit point form Part E as described in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). The Common First Year consists of Parts A and B.

Part A. Engineering fundamentals and design studies

30 cp

You must complete the engineering fundamentals AND design studies requirement

Engineering fundamentals

12 cp

You must complete the following units

  • ENG1014Engineering numerical analysis6 cp
  • ENG1005Engineering mathematics6 cp

Engineering design

18 cp

You must complete the following units

  • ENG1012Engineering for people and planet6 cp
  • ENG1013Engineering smart systems6 cp
  • ENG1011Engineering methods6 cp

Part B. Breadth studies

6 cp

You must complete 6 credit points (one unit) from either Foundational studies or First year engineering breadth studies. Note 1: If you have not completed either or both VCE Physics (Units 3 and 4) and VCE Specialist mathematics (Units 3 and 4) or equivalent and with the required study score, you must complete the related foundational studies unit(s) in place of the First year engineering breadth studies. Note 2: If you require both foundation units, the second foundation unit will increase your total credit points needed for the double degree by 6 credit points. A study overload will occur in Year 1 or 2.

First year engineering breadth studies

You must complete 6 credit points (one unit) from the following list. Note 1: If you are required to complete one, or both, of the foundational studies units, you are not required to complete 6 credit points of First year engineering breadth studies. Note 2. Biomedical engineering: If you intend to specialise in biomedical engineering, you must select and complete BMS1021. Note 3. Chemical engineering: Due to the prohibition with CHE2161, you are strongly advised against completing MEC2404 as a First Year elective. This choice may result in an inadequate foundation for the subsequent core unit CHE3167 in the chemical engineering specialisation. Note 4. Software engineering: If you intend to specialise in software engineering, you must select and complete FIT1045, as it provides essential grounding in programming and prepares you for advanced software engineering units. Note 5. CHM1011 and CHM1051 are mutual prohibition units, meaning that you can only complete either CHM1011 or CHM1051. Note 6. If you complete a First Year engineering breadth unit that happens to be a core unit in your chosen specialisation, the unit will count towards your specialisation study. You must still fulfil the First Year engineering breadth study requirement by completing another breadth study unit
