Bachelor of Engineering (Software) and Bachelor of Commerce

The combined BE(IT)/BCom and BE/BCom course in Engineering (Software Engineering) 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 level-3 and level-4 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.

• Students should consult the Commerce Student Centre for advice regarding Commerce subject selection.

Typical course plans for the three engineering streams of this combined degree appear below.

On completion of this course graduates should:

• Have a sound fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying technology;
• Have acquired the educational and professional standards of the professional institutions with which the School's courses are accredited
• Possess a broad knowledge base of their chosen discipline and of other disciplines to facilitate effective communication with those other professionals with whom engineers routinely communicate;
• Be able to apply the basic principles underlying the management of physical, human and financial resources;
• Have acquired the mathematical and computational skills necessary for the solution of theoretical and practical problems;
• Possess analytical, problem-solving and design skills, including those appropriate for sustainable development;
• Have verbal and written communication skills that enable them to contribute substantially to society;
• Have acquired lifelong learning skills for further development professionally and for meeting future changes in technology;
• Have acquired a sense of professional ethics and responsibility towards the profession and the community;
• Have developed the interpersonal and management skills required by engineers in undertaking professional activities; and
• Be able to enact the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of the professional engineer, and the need for sustainable development.
