This page describes the rules concerning the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Commerce and its associated combined degrees. This degree has been deleted from the books from 2007, i.e. no new enrollments could be made in this degree from 2007. This page has been maintained for the students who are already in this degree and will be up till they finish their degrees.

Table of Electronic Commerce core units of study
Table of additional recommended units of study

All candidates for the Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Commerce degree (including those enrolled in a combined degree) must satisfy the requirements described in the table of core units of study.

Candidates will also need to choose a number of recommended units of study for Electronic Commerce Engineering, which consist of:

  • all level 3, 4 and 5 ELEC and EBUS units which do not appear in the table of core units;
  • all level 3 COMP, INFO, ISYS, MULT, NETS and SOFT units of study listed in the Faculty of Science handbook;
  • all INFS units listed in the Faculty of Economics and Business handbook;
  • ENGG1804 Introduction to Engineering Disciplines B;
  • the units of study listed in the table of additional Electronic Commerce recommended units of study; and
  • such other units of study as may be so designated by the Head of School.

Note: The Mathematics, Physics and Information Technology units of study offered by the Faculty of Science may be replaced by equivalent advanced level units of study (if available) subject to prerequisite conditions being met. Also, MKTG3110 (a core UoS for the program) will not be offered from 2007 as the Faculty of Economics and Business is taking it off their books. The students can replace it with INFS2030 e-Commerce Business Models. EBUS3004 (a core UoS for the program) will not be offered from 2008 as we are taking it off our books. The students can replace it with any recommended elective.
