Bachelor of Engineering (Computer) and Bachelor of Commerce

• All requirements of the chosen stream of the BE(IT) or BE course must be satisfied, except that the requirement for physics is waived. For the software engineering stream the requirement for 431-202 Engineering Analysis B is also waived. However, students in the computer and electrical streams are strongly encouraged to complete 640-142 Physics B as an additional elective, as a number of the 300-level and 400-level elective subjects in electrical engineering require physics as a prerequisite. Students must complete a total of 300 engineering points.

• The remaining elective subjects to make up 400 points for the award of the engineering degree, including the non-technical requirements of the computer and electrical engineering streams, are credited from the commerce subjects undertaken.
• A total of 200 commerce points must be completed. These include the five compulsory subjects 316-101 Introductory Macroeconomics, 316-102 Introductory Microeconomics, 316-130 Quantitative Methods 1, 325-201 Organisational Behaviour and 316-205 Introductory Econometrics; at least 50 points at 100-level; and at least 50 points at 300-level.

Students are required to complete a total of 500 points in Bachelor of Engineering (Civil)/Bachelor of Commerce degree

Typical course plans for the three engineering streams of this combined degree appear below.

THERE WILL BE NO FIRST YEAR ENTRY INTO THIS DEGREE IN 2008
