Engineering

Engineers have forged some of the greatest developments in modern society.

Clean water, advances in medical equipment and the increased quality of food supplies are all a result of engineering.

Engineers improve life for everyone on our planet.Monash University is a global leader in engineering, attracting outstanding academics and featuring world-best research facilities.

You'll use these facilities while completing your studies, working with our academics to contribute to the latest breakthroughs in engineering research.On graduation, you will be highly sought-after across many industries, known for your creative thinking, problem solving and ability to excel in team-based environments.The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Monash University is the smart choice for your engineering future.

With a specialist course at Monash you begin study in your area of interest from day one. If you have a specific career goal or more specific field of study firmly in your sights, this may be the option for you. These courses are designed to ensure you have the right combination of skills needed for your professional field.

The course develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice.

A. Engineering fundamentals and foundational skills

These will develop your understanding of natural and physical sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences that underpin all engineering disciplines.

B. Engineering design

This 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.

C. Engineering knowledge and application

This 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.

D. Professional practice

This 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.

E. Elective study

This will enable you to further deepen your knowledge of engineering or broaden your knowledge in another approved field. Students completing a single degree course may use electives to add technical expertise in their engineering specialisation and/or to complete one of the engineering approved minors within engineering or from another faculty thereby adding other skills to their repertoire. A minor has four units studied over at least two years and is listed on your transcript. The engineering discipline minors available are: civil, environmental, mining and renewable energy engineering.

In order to meet local accreditation requirements, students studying their degree on the Malaysia campus must choose technical engineering units to fulfil the elective requirements of their engineering degree.

For students completing a double degree course, 48 credit points of elective units are used to broaden their knowledge by fulfilling the requirements of the partner course.
