Subject Options

The following description of the Spatial Systems major aligns with the Study Plan Structure viewable on the Portal for students who commenced the Bachelor of Environments in 2015 or later.

The components within the structure of this major have been designed to enforce the requirements of both this specific major and of the course overall, e.g. the requirement that at least 62.5 points of Environments discipline subjects (which can include subjects taken within the major) are taken at each of Level 2 and Level 3.

PRE-2015 STUDENTS: Students who commenced the Bachelor of Environments prior to 2015 should refer to the handbook entry for the year they commenced in conjunction with the 2015 handbook listings for Environments elective and Breadth subject listings.

Level 1 Environments & Enabling Electives (12.5 - 25 points)

Mathematics Background

The mathematics pre-requisite of the spatial systems major should be covered – in spirit and practice – as enabling subjects (calculus 1 or calculus 2, depending on the candidate’s school math, and Linear Algebra)

In order to complete this major, enrol into the subjects below in your first year, based on your mathematics background:

• VCE Mathematical Methods Units 1 and 2 only: Enrol in MAST10012 Introduction to Mathematics, followed by MAST10005 Calculus 1

• VCE Mathematical Methods Units 3 and 4 with a study score of 25 or more: Enrol in MAST10005 Calculus 1

• VCE Specialist Maths Units 3 and 4 with a study score of 30 or more: Enrol in MAST10006 Calculus 2

This requirement may be taken as breadth.

IMPORTANT:

1. Students who completed VCE Mathematical Methods Units 1 and 2 only: Enrol in MAST10012 Introduction to Mathematics, followed by MAST10005 Calculus 1. This requirement may be taken as breadth

2. ENVS10005 Governing Environments and ENVS10006 Mapping Environments are recommended to be taken as Environments Electives.

Breadth subjects and restrictions for Spatial Systems major students

The breadth requirements for the Bachelor of Environments include the restriction of some subjects as breadth options, depending on an individual student’s choice of major. Subjects in the Handbook that are marked as available as breadth in the Bachelor of Environments may be subject to further restrictions, depending up which major a student is completing in that course. Detailed information on these

Students undertaking the Geomatics major are not permitted to take as breadth:

• any Civil Engineering subjects (subject codes beginning CVEN)

• any Computer Science subjects (subject codes beginning COMP)

• any Engineering subjects (subject codes beginning ENGR)

• any Geomatics subjects (subject codes beginning GEOM)

• any Informatics subjects (subject codes beginning INFO)

• any Mathematics and Statistics subjects (subject codes beginning MAST) - with the exception of MAST10006 Calculus 2 and MAST10007 Linear Algebra (and any required prerequisites for these subjects such as MAST10005 Calculus 1 and MAST10012 Introduction to Mathematics)

• any Physics subjects (subject codes beginning PHYC)

• any Science Informatics subjects (subject codes beginning SINF)
