Engineering applies scientific principles to solve real-world problems. Many engineers are deeply interested in scientific research and seek to expand their knowledge of fundamental sciences. Similarly, numerous scientists aspire to transform their theoretical work into practical innovations. If either perspective resonates with you, this dual degree program could be perfect. Beginning with nine engineering disciplines, you can pair your studies with over twenty scientific fields. This creates a customized learning journey that aligns with your goals and passions. The diverse combinations provide versatility, adaptability, and extensive career possibilities. Upon completion, you'll earn two distinct degrees. Your specialization determines whether you receive: Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Chemical Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Materials Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours), or Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours), along with a Bachelor of Science. You'll enjoy all the advantages of both degree programs (see Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Science) and be prepared for careers in either field or a blend of both. The initial year establishes core scientific and engineering design principles, using practical challenges to demonstrate how engineering interacts with society while introducing various engineering fields. From the second year onward, you'll focus on your chosen engineering specialization. The potential pairings between engineering and science disciplines are virtually endless. You could merge environmental engineering with atmospheric science, ecology, genetics, plant sciences, zoology, chemistry, computational science, geography, or statistics. Aerospace studies might complement physics or astrophysics, mechanical engineering could pair with applied mathematics, or chemical engineering might combine with geosciences. The decision is yours. Graduation requires completing 420 hours of professional development, which can include 12 weeks of relevant work experience or an approved mix of professional activities and engineering employment during your studies. Students must submit reflective reports documenting their experiences, specifically addressing Engineers Australia's Stage 1 competency development.
At the time of enrolment in a course at Monash University, you must be at least 17 years of age.
All Monash undergraduate courses require you to have successfully completed a minimum of an Australian Year 12 qualification (or equivalent) and achieve the required academic entry score.
