Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering

Course code: 0157 · Clayton campus · Director of studies: Dr Ronald Pose
The Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering provides a unique opportunity to study two major disciplines (computer science and engineering) within a single four-year degree course.
The course covers the fundamentals of computer science and electrical engineering to prepare students for professional careers in computing. It combines an understanding of the computer languages and operating systems of computer science with the hardware and systems approaches of electrical engineering. It has been designed to break down the conceptual barriers between the software, hardware and applications aspects of computing which have, in the past, impeded high-quality technical problem solving in the industry.
The main aim of the course is to produce professional designers of computer systems rather than people who are simply computer users.
This course is administered jointly by the Faculty of Information Technology and the Faculty of Engineering. Enrolments and course changes are administered by the Faculty of Engineering office at the Clayton campus.
Graduates are eligible for membership of both the Australian Computer Society and the Institution of Engineers Australia.
An outline of the course structure and content is set out in schedule 1 to the BCSE regulations in the current Engineering handbook.
