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

The combined LLB/BE(IT) and LLB/BE course in computer, electrical or software engineering and law, 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 law subjects undertaken.
  • A total of 300 law points must be completed, including a number of compulsory subjects. Please refer to the Faculty of Law website for further information.

Typical course plans for the three engineering streams of this combined degree appear below.
Objectives: Completing the Electrical Engineering degree will enable students to rigorously integrate the mathematics of signals, systems and information with the science of electrical phenomena, in the formulation and solution of problems in areas such as telecommunications, monitoring and automation, energy distribution, and digital computing. We aim to develop: scientific understanding of electrical phenomena as a basis for mathematical modelling and abstraction in analysis and design; problem-solving and design skills; the ability to construct simulations and laboratory experiments; and good communication skills.

Subject Options:

Note: Students who commenced third year in 2009 and have not completed, (or who have failed) the third year subjects required in the Bachelor of Engineering degree please see a course adviser.
