Undergraduate Course InformationThe following undergraduate courses in Electrical Engineering are available at the Clayton campus. The Monash University Undergraduate Course Guide describes each course and its entry requirements. Bachelor of Engineering (BE)Official course descriptions are available in the University Handbook The Bachelor of Engineering is of four years duration if taken full-time, or up to eight years if taken part-time. The first level of the course contains many units in common across the five Engineering branches offered on the Clayton campus. At the beginning of the second level, students may enrol in the electrical and computer systems engineering course. In order to be eligible, you must have passed 24cp of level 1, including ENG1060 Computing for Engineers and ENG1091 Mathematics for Engineering. If the supply of places in E&CS Engineering is less than the expected demand, a quota on entry will apply. Selection into the quota is based on performance in first-year units, especially ENG1030 Electrical Engineering, ENG1060 Computing for Engineers and ENG1091 Mathematics for Engineering. The BE degree in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering has been planned to provide students with a broad scientific training in fundamental studies which are related to various branches of electrical and computer systems engineering. Level 2 of the course builds on the work of Level 1 to provide a fundamental training in the basic sciences of physics and mathematics, and in electrical and computer systems engineering and general engineering. Levels 3 and 4 build on the core knowledge whilst also including a range of electives which allow students to specialise in one or more areas of expertise, including computer systems, telecommunications, control, electronics, and power engineering. There is also at these levels a strong emphasis on design. Level 4 includes a project, which is 25% of the year's work. Bachelor of Science/ Bachelor of Engineering (BSc/BE)Official course descriptions are available in the University Handbook. The Faculties of Engineering and Science offer a five-year double-degree course which qualifies students for the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Engineering. Students nominate at the beginning of Level 1 their intended department of specialisation in Engineering. In the course structure for the BSc degree, restrictions have been imposed in terms of prescribed units to ensure that students pursue studies that suitably equip them for the subsequent years in engineering. Current programmes permit a student to major in Physics, Astrophysics, Atmospheric Science, Mathematics, Computer Science or Physiology (Biomedical Engineering). Biomedical Engineering is a combined degree course in Physiology and Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering with extensive clinical exposure. The course produces graduates with an in-depth knowledge of engineering, physiology, the biomedical instrumentation manufacturing industry and clinical engineering practice in hospitals. The course structure includes both second and third year Physiology, and a full Electrical & Computer Systems Engineering course, with a set of Biomedical Engineering units in place of the normal option units. Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (BCSE)Official course descriptions are available in the University Handbook This four year degree course specialises in computer systems engineering.
The course commences with the establishment of a sound foundation in electrical engineering, mathematics and physical sciences. In the final year the thesis project builds the student's self-reliance and planning capabilities in both individual and team based environments. Engineering management units strengthen the formal basis of project management. Elective units are provided to allow specialisation in some aspects of the field of study with approved electives to permit broadening of intellectual and personal horizons. Students will be encouraged to use these electives to take international studies including human languages and studies through the evolving collaborations with other universities overseas. The BCSE is fully recognised by the Australian Computer Society and the Institution of Engineers, Australia (IEAust).
Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies)Official course descriptions are available in the University Handbook The Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) (BTech(CompSt)) degree is of three years duration if taken full-time or up to six years if taken part-time. These time limits include an allowance of one year for completion of approved studies at TAFE. It forms part of a program which links university degrees with courses in designated TAFE Institutes. The BTech(CompSt) is articulated with the Diploma of Technology (Computing) which is run at the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE and the Frankston campus of Chisholm Institute. The first year of the program is common to both the diploma and the degree. The second and third years of the degree are taught on the Clayton campus of the university. The course aims to produce technologists who are flexible in their thinking and so are able to respond to the changing needs of industry. Degree with HonoursThe degree of BE, BCSE and BTE with Honours are awarded for meritorious performance in the course as a whole. No additional time is required. All units are considered in the determination of an honours result, but greater weight is given to the units in the later years of the course than to those in the earlier years. The BSc/BE with honours in Science may be earned in six years.
All official course details are available in the University Handbook.
