Be industry-ready

Franklin Koon, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in the field of Civil Engineering and Site Engineer – Koo Wee Rup Bypass

“Monash Engineering has a good reputation both in Australia and abroad, to provide a quality undergraduate program to students.

“As a site engineer I am responsible for the day-to-day management of works being undertaken. These include planning, procurement of materials, quality management, safety and environmental compliance.

“The things I enjoy the most about my role are learning new things every day and being out on site. The most challenging is the work/life balance.

“At Monash I gained vital skills, including how to be organised and proactive, skills I use every day in my role.”

“I enjoyed maths/science and I felt that Monash had an exceptional reputation in the field of engineering.

“Doing vacation work while at Monash also gave me an insight as to how industry operates which eased the transition into the workforce. My advice

is get as much industry-specific experience as you can – it is a great taster to decide what field

you would like to get into in the long run.”

“In today’s technology-centric society, the rapid pace of invention is resulting in cycles of innovation that are ever shorter and steeper.

“Most of the exciting research done today is through the interface of our traditional disciplines, like the intersections between engineering and medicine, or engineering with IT, providing new opportunities for innovation and creativity.

“As engineers, we need to provide the right training and culture that fosters in our students a ‘can-do’ attitude and a belief that ‘no technical challenge is too big’. Monash engineering graduates have diverse technical and leadership skills to ensure they are prepared to step up and create the technologies of tomorrow.

“Now is the time to enter engineering.”

Build your career

Timothy Bush, Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) and Practice Leader at Ecologically Sustainable Design (ESD) Consulting

“Environmental Engineering at Monash provided the option of streaming in a greater range of areas than other universities, with the built environment and transport option being of real interest to me.

“I work with teams in the built environment to help them deliver more sustainable outcomes. Typically this includes architects, building services, structural and civil engineers, as well as contractors.

“The biggest challenge in my role is that I need to know a lot about everyone else’s specialisation in order to work with them effectively, and I am constantly learning. Equally, this is what I enjoy most about my role – being just slightly out of my depth and learning, whilst influencing outcomes which will benefit the environment.”

Research opportunities

Isaac Pinar, Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in the field of Mechanical Engineering

If you are a high-performing engineering student, you will be offered the opportunity to experience research while studying. This can lead to further study.

“I am studying as a postgraduate researcher at Monash investigating how blood clots form in order to develop medications that will help reduce cardiovascular diseases in the near future. Through this research, I hopefully will be able to positively impact society by increasing the quality of life for many, something I have wanted to do since a very young age.

“The facilities and more importantly the experience of lecturers in their respective fields at Monash have allowed me to achieve my goals. Monash provides you with countless opportunities to excel in a variety of aspects.”

At Monash, we let you choose how you study.

We offer a range of courses that provide different professional outcomes. We will be there to guide you through all the possibilities, so you can graduate with an internationally recognised qualification that can take you anywhere.

Take advantage of our global perspective, exceptional facilities, world-class teachers and our collaborative links with industry.

A guide to choice

Common first year of study

Every student who enrols in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) begins with a common first year. This means that you will start with a foundation in mathematics and physics; you then study toward specialising in chemical, civil, electrical and computer systems, materials, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering.

In your first year, innovative design-based projects will give you insights into each of these engineering specialisations. You then choose your specialisation at the end of first year.

Specialist focus

A specialist course offers you focus and depth through specialisation in your area of interest from the start of your studies.

Some undergraduate specialist courses are designed to prepare you to practise in a specified regulated profession upon graduation. Others concentrate on developing particular expertise but may be applicable to a broader range of career options.

You will graduate with a degree that reflects your chosen specialisation.

Structured — FOR —

EARLYSpecialiSation

two courSeS STUDIED CONCURRENTLY

Double degree courses

A double degree course lets you gain skills in two different areas of interest such as arts and law or science and engineering.

This lets you tailor your qualification to fit your diverse interests and talents and doubles your options when you graduate.

Double degree courses can take up to two years less than if you took the two courses one after the other. This is because the electives from each degree course count towards the other.

You will graduate with two distinct degrees.

Double degrees

Some double degrees have entry requirements beyond the prerequisites for the engineering degree.

Degrees with additional requirements are: Architectural Design, Industrial Design.

1. Selection into disciplines is subject to quotas and academic performance during the common first year.

2. The VTAC Guide does not report Indicative ATAR scores for programs with an intake of less than 10 students because the score may not be an accurate indication of the academic threshold for the program. In determining their prospects, students are advised to consider the indicative ATAR scores for similar programs with larger cohorts, as these provide a better indication of the target range for determining selection.

3. Available with the following disciplines: chemical, civil, electrical and computer systems, materials, mechanical or mechatronics engineering.

4. Students will normally expect to complete the course in five years. This is achieved by undertaking one additional unit (above the standard four units) per semester, twice, in the later stages of the degree.

5. Individual offer based on folio, interview and ATAR. As a general rule students will require a similar academic standard to the Bachelor of Engineering to be considered for the program. This double degree is only available with the discipline of mechanical engineering.

This program is designed for students who require additional English language development to enter into either the Monash English Bridging or University courses. Course duration depends on your current English language proficiency and your preferred destination course. Intakes for Monash English occur every five weeks.

Monash College – for international students

English language pathwaysThe Monash University English Language Centre is the preferred English pathway into Monash University. If you do not meet the English language requirements for direct entry into your preferred course you may receive a conditional offer for one of our two programs.
