Overview:

The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering stream of the Bachelor of Engineering (for students commencing in 2008 and later years).

See Bachelor of Engineering (B-ENG)

Objectives:

See Bachelor of Engineering (B-ENG)
Structure & Available Subjects:

The structure of the Bachelor of Engineering degree requires completion of specific subjects as part of this stream. The majority of subjects have one or more prerequisites and therefore the sequence in which subjects are taken is very important. It is unlikely that prerequisite waivers will be granted for these engineering subjects and therefore students should take care to select subjects in one study period that satisfy prerequisites for subjects in later study periods.
Subject Options:

First Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 1)

Plus

  • Two breadth subjects (i.e. 25.00 credit points total)

N.B.

  • Students who have completed VCE Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) are exempt from MAST10005 Calculus 1 and should therefore enrol in MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra.
  • Students with a high level of achievement in mathematics may enrol in both MAST10008 Accelerated Mathematics 1 and MAST10009 Accelerated Mathematics 2 instead of both MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra.

N.B.

  • Students who have completed VCE Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) and completed either both MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra or both MAST10008 Accelerated Mathematics 1 and MAST10009 Accelerated Mathematics 2 in Year 1 can replace MAST10007 Linear Algebra in the table above with a science elective.
  • A science elective is any subject available as science credit in the Bachelor of Science course (B-SCI). Refer to that course entry for a full list of subjects. Science electives may have prerequisites.
