131010 v.2 Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Sciences), Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Systems Engineering)


BSc(Curtin), BEng(Curtin) OR BEng(Hons)(Curtin)

Introduction

This double degree program provides graduates with a broad range of analytical and mathematical skills with particular relevance to engineering analysis, design and development. The combination of the two degrees provides a versatility which opens up a wider range of employment opportunities.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

TEE Calculus, Applicable Mathematics and Physics.

Specific Requirements

The STAT is not acceptable for entry to this course. To satisfy professional requirements, students must complete at least 12 weeks of approved work experience associated with engineering in industry. Students may make their own arrangements for employment or seek the assistance of the University's Careers and Prospective Students Service.

Note

Well performed candidates without some of these subjects may be admitted but will be required to complete appropriate bridging and special course units as prescribed. In certain cases, the need to complete these special units may result in an extension of studies beyond the normal length of the course.

Recognition of Prior Learning

Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.

Duration and Availability

The course is five years study and is only available on a full-time basis.

Course Organisation

Students enrolled in the double degree program may elect to transfer to a single degree course in one of the two disciplines. In this event the relevant Head of Department shall determine the amount of credit to be transferred to the single degree.

Professional Recognition

Graduates from these programs meet the academic requirements for Graduate Membership of The Institution of Engineers, and are eligible for membership of the Australian Mathematics Society.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study.
