E3008 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science

Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.

Engineering

E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a specialist course that 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

These units 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

These units 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

These units 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

These units 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.

Pharmaceutical Science

P2001 Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science is a specialist course that develops through three themes. The first two, foundation science studies and pharmaceutical science studies culminate in an applied project.

Part A. Enabling science studies

Enabling studies in bio-organic and medicinal chemistry, physical chemistry and physiology will underpin further studies in the degree. It will also provide an introduction to the key areas of scientific communication and practice and scientific research methodology.

Part B. Pharmaceutical science

This will provide you with practical and theoretical skills and knowledge. You will learn to develop, apply and communicate the concepts and theoretical frameworks.

Part C. Applied project

The studies in Parts A. and B. culminate in a major research project or industry placement.

Course progression map

The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.

You must complete 240 points, of which 144 points are from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in the specialisation of chemical engineering (including all of the requirements in Parts A, B, C and D as described for the single degree) and 96 points from the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science in the specialisation of formulation science (including all of the requirements in Parts A, B and C for the single degree).
