Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Engineering for 2013

Why study Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Engineering?

An engineering double degree offers diversity, more career choices and flexibility.

Engineering is concerned with the application of science. However, many engineers are fascinated by scientific investigation and eager to enhance their understanding of the pure sciences.

You may choose to combine engineering with food science or technology, or explore the fundamentals of the cosmos through astrophysics. Alternatively, you may be interested in the most fascinating machine of all, the human body.

You can pursue any one of the following engineering disciplines in this double degree:

• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
• Materials Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering

Engineering is a hands-on discipline where learning goes beyond the classroom so it is important that you choose a university with the very best facilities to support your learning. Monash University hosts unique, world-class engineering facilities including:

• computer laboratory facilities, available 24/7, including printing, multimedia, notebook and wireless areas
• a science and technology library and resource centre designed specifically for engineering studies
• the largest wind tunnel in the Southern Hemisphere, used to test aerodynamics of vehicles (including the Monash Motorsport car), airplanes, UAVs, trucks, trains, buildings and yachts. The tunnel has even been used for aerodynamic testing by elite athletes such as Tour de France winner Cadel Evans
• The Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy, housing one of the world's most powerful electron microscopes.

The Monash Engineering Research and Industry Training (MERIT) program prepares you for life beyond your undergraduate degree. The program offers a range of enrichment activities that help you become work-ready, sharpen your leadership skills and refine your research skills, so you can excel in further study.

Twelve weeks of vacation employment is undertaken during the program allowing you to get experience in securing employment, a taste for working in industry and a head start on your career.
