Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) and Bachelor of Laws

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

• A broad knowledge of science and engineering in several disciplines including a sound fundamental understanding of scientific and engineering principles and methods;
• An in-depth knowledge and skills within specified areas of engineering and science;
• The appropriate analytical, problem-solving and design skills;
• Capacity to apply practical skills towards the development of mathematical and computer-based solutions of problems;A
• Learning skills and a knowledge base to enable them to readily accommodate future changes in technology;
• Verbal and written communication skills that enable them to communicate effectively in the context of defining and solving problems;
• An understanding of the basic principles underlying the management of physical, human and financial resources;
• Skills, personal attributes and depth of knowledge which equip them for positions of leadership in basic and applied research, engineering and management of technology-intensive enterprises;
• An appreciation of the roles and responsibilities of engineers and scientists in society; and
• The educational and professional standards of the professional institutions with which the faculties' courses are accredited.

Students studying the BE/LLB degree should consult the BE single degree course structure for a current list of core engineering subjects.

The combined degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil)/Bachelor of Laws requires a total of 600 points over six years. Students are required to complete 300 points of Engineering subjects and 300 points of Law subjects.

When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the Faculty reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Where the courses include elective subjects these should be chosen so that departmental guidelines on electives are satisfied (see www.civenv.unimelb.edu.au/undergraduate). Students should also avoid timetable clashes in choosing their electives. In particular, students in combined degrees should plan their courses so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component.

THERE WILL BE NO FIRST, SECOND OR THIRD YEAR ENTRY INTO THIS COURSE FROM 2008
