With this combined degree program students can add their choice of an Arts stream to a professionally accredited engineering stream in Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering and Management, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering or Naval Architecture. Thus every session of the combined degree program contains only the standard 24 Units of Credit of courses and hence the workload should not be greater than in a single degree program. Students may enter directly in Year 1 or may apply to transfer from the normal engineering program later, although with late transfer it might not be possible to complete the course in minimum time. In this case the student will have to prescribe their own engineering stream following discussion with the School. The full range of Arts streams is available. Since the Engineering and Arts streams have common content, such as mathematics and physics, only one more year of study is required to gain the additional qualification of Bachelor of Arts. Eligibility Anyone who meets the entry requirements for both Engineering and Arts is eligible for the combined program. Organisation The BE BA program is administered by the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. Students should start discussing their program with representatives of the School and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences as soon as possible - preferably well before enrolment. Enquiries should be directed to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Students should work out for themselves the arts program they would like to add to their chosen engineering stream. The Arts and Social Sciences Faculty section in this Handbook describes the options, and the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering can supply sample streams http://www.mech.unsw.edu.au/content/prospective_students/Programs_UG.cfm?ss=2 showing what previous students have arranged. Although the Arts and Social Sciences Faculty section in this Handbook lists courses from the Faculties of Engineering and Science, it is not permissible for BE BA students to include these courses. There are no special rules on what to include in each year. Students should schedule the arts and engineering components to suit their preferences while meeting the constraints of timetables and prerequisites. The sample streams can help here too. The Arts component must be approved by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The final program and schedule must be approved by the School.
