Course Overview: THE COURSE STRUCTURE BELOW ONLY APPLIES TO RE-ENROLLING STUDENTS WHO COMMENCED THEIR STUDIES PRIOR TO 2008

The combined BE(IT)/BCom and BE/BCom course in engineering (electrical) and commerce, must satisfy the following requirements:

  • 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 (students who commenced Bachelor of Commerce double degree in 2005 are not required to complete this subject) and at least one of 316-206 Quantitative Methods or 316-205 Introductory Econometrics or 325-210 Managerial Decision Analysis or 325-212 Market Research; at least 50 points at 100-level; and at least 50 points at 300-level (these must be completed at The University of Melbourne).

Typical course plans for the three engineering streams of this combined degree appear below.
Subject Options: Note: Students who commenced 2nd year in 2008 who have not completed, (or who have failed), the second year subjects required in the Bachelor of Engineering degree please see a course adviser.
