B-ENG Chemical Engineering stream

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

Completion of 400 points of study culminating in a design project and a research project in the final year.

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.

The following subjects are required for this stream of the Bachelor of Engineering.

First Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 1)

Plus

• Two breadth subjects (i.e. 25 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.

Second Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 2)

Plus

• One breadth subject (i.e. 12.5 credit points total)

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 Science-credited subjects - new generation B-SCI and B-ENG for a full list of subjects. Science electives may have prerequisites.

Third Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 3)

Plus one Chemical Engineering elective selected from:

Fourth Year (normally 100 points taken in Year 4)

Students who completed third year in 2010 will have taken BIEN30001 Bionanoengineering as a core subject instead of CHEN90017 Process Engineering Case Studies. These students may choose to take CHEN90017 as an elective.
