* These specialisations are not available in Monash University Malaysia in 2025.
Your studies commence with the common first year. Completion of the common first year will develop your foundational skills for engineering while you sample from the various branches of engineering. During this year, you will develop your skills and knowledge of fundamental engineering through the completion of practical hands-on design-and-build activities. At the conclusion of the first year, you will nominate your branch of engineering for further study.
After specialising in the second year, you will develop an in-depth understanding of the knowledge, techniques, tools and resources appropriate for your branch of engineering, as well as skills and knowledge of the application of engineering methods required to conduct, design and manage engineering projects.
Master's accelerated pathway (Clayton campus) The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is also available in a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Engineering accelerated double pathway. Designed for high-achieving students, this pathway option will allow you the opportunity to fast-track directly from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) into the Master of Engineering. By attaining a weighted average mark of 60% by the end of level 2, you will qualify to use four electives during your Bachelor's to complete Master's-level units. Successful completion of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a minimum 65% average will enable direct entry to the Master of Engineering with only 24 credit points (half a year) of study to complete.
The Masters Accelerated Pathway option is available for the following specialisations in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours):

Common First Year48 credit points
Part A. Engineering fundamentals and breadth study
30 credit pointsEngineering fundamentals
12 credit pointsBreadth study
18 credit pointsEngineering single degree
18 credit pointsYou must complete foundational study, if required. If no foundational study is required, you may choose to select your electives from the First Year engineering breadth study list or from across the University, subject to meeting the unit enrolment rules.
Engineering double-degree
6 credit pointsIf you are required to complete foundational study, the foundation unit is undertaken in place of the First Year engineering breadth unit. If you require both foundation units, the second foundation unit will increase your total credit points needed for the double degree by 6 credit points. A study overload will occur in Year 1 or 2.

First Year engineering breadth study list
6 credit pointsNote 2. Chemical engineering: Due to the prohibition with CHE2161, you are strongly advised against completing MEC2404 as a First Year elective. This choice may result in an inadequate foundation for the subsequent core unit CHE3167 in the chemical engineering specialisation.
Note 3. Software engineering: If you intend to specialise in software engineering, you must select and complete FIT1045, as it provides essential grounding in programming and prepares you for advanced software engineering units.
Note 4. CHM1011 and CHM1051 are mutual prohibition units, meaning that you can only complete either CHM1011 or CHM1051.
Note 5. If you complete a First Year engineering breadth unit that happens to be a core unit in your chosen specialisation, the unit will count towards your specialisation study. You must still fulfil the First Year engineering breadth study requirement by completing another breadth study unit.

24 credit pointsThe handbook's description of this structure
The course develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice: fundamentals and breadth study, design, knowledge and applications, and professional practice.
Part A. Engineering fundamentals and breadth study
This will develop your understanding of natural and physical sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences that underpin all engineering disciplines. If you have not completed the Australian VCE (Units 3 & 4) or equivalent Specialist mathematics and/or Physics with the required study score you will need to enrol in the foundation units ENG1090 and/or PHS1001.
Part B. Engineering design
This will develop the engineering techniques, tools and resources for the conduct, design and management of engineering design processes and projects, both in the industrial setting and in the development of research experiments.
Part C. Engineering knowledge and application
This will provide in-depth knowledge of the specific engineering methods of a branch of engineering and will integrate the specific engineering methods and discipline knowledge into practice. You will develop skills to identify and apply knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline. Additionally, your studies will focus on your understanding and application of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in your discipline.
Part D. Professional practice
This will develop your skills in readiness for the engineering workplace. You will develop skills in effective team membership and team leadership, the use and management of commercially relevant data, and the legal responsibilities of engineers. This study will integrate the theme 'Engineering knowledge and application' with your specialist field of engineering.
Part E. Elective study
This will enable you to further deepen your knowledge of engineering or broaden your knowledge in another approved field. If you are completing a single degree course, you will have electives to add technical expertise in your engineering specialisation and/or complete a minor in an engineering discipline that complements your specialisation, thereby adding other skills to your repertoire.
