Overview

You'll complete 108 points of core units and 36 points of electives to graduate.
Units offered in levels two to four are listed below.
Units have a value of six credit points, unless stated otherwise.

Level One
The common first year lays a foundation in the basic sciences of mathematics, physics and chemistry and introduces the disciplines available to you for further study. You'll learn to apply your developing math and science knowledge to real-life problems and begin to understand the interaction between engineering and society.

Engineering methods
Engineering design
Engineering smart systems
Engineering numerical analysis
Engineering mathematics

Elective units- Select three units from:

Foundation mathematics
Chemistry 1 advanced
Spatial communication in engineering
Engineering Industry 4.0 design
Discrete mathematics for computer science
Physics for engineering
Digital systems
Mechanics of fluids
Introduction to systems engineering
Manufacturing processes
Introduction to computer science for engineers
Introduction to software engineering
Leadership in sustainable development.

Level Two
In level two units, you'll gain the necessary background in the chemical engineering fundamentals, covering topics such as material and energy balance, mass transfer, heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics. These units give you a glimpse of how chemical processes work by combining the knowledge of science and engineering.

Elective units:

Level Three
When you proceed to level three, you'll be exposed to core topics in chemical engineering such as separation processes, reaction engineering, process design, process control and more. You will develop knowledge and skills in developing chemical processes through a mix of workshops, case studies and hands-on experience in laboratory and simulation practice classes.

Chemistry and chemical thermodynamics
Process control
Reaction engineering
Separation processes
Process design
Transport phenomena and numerical methods
Two elective units.

Elective units

Level Four
In level four units, you'll be given the opportunity to undertake a substantial individual or group project to integrate and demonstrate your knowledge in chemical engineering. You'll undertake an independent full-year research project in an area of personal interest. Level four units aim to develop your core professional skills, including design of chemical equipment and processes, process safety, environmental impact and economic evaluation.

Elective units

Prerequisites:

Mathematics (Australian Higher Year 12 equivalent) and at least one of Chemistry or Physics (Australian Year 12 equivalent) are formal prerequisites for the Bachelor of Engineering.

Meeting maths and science prerequisite subject requirements from other qualifications:

If the course you are applying for requires maths and/or science as subject prerequisites and you have completed a Monash-approved international senior secondary qualification (excluding Australian Year 12 qualifications and IB Diploma Programme), or higher qualification, with maths and/or science at the required level, it will be assumed that you have reached the level of knowledge equivalent to the Australian Year 12 (i.e. VCE equivalent) prerequisite required for the Monash course as specified above (excluding Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine).
