Course code: 1015 + Course abbreviation: BE(ECSE) + Total credit points required: 192 (48 credit points at Bachelor of Engineering level 1, plus 144 credit points from the relevant engineering branch) + 4 years full-time, 8 years part-time (1 year full-time Bachelor of Engineering, 3 years full-time in the engineering branches)
On-campus (Clayton; Malaysia)
The
Bachelor of Engineering in electrical and computer systems engineering course
has been developed to provide students with a broad scientific training in
fundamental studies in a number of branches of electrical and computer systems
engineering.
The title of the course reflects the increasing importance of computer systems
in many branches of engineering and in society at large. Furthermore,
employment prospects for electrical engineers generally continue to grow rapidly.
Students
enter this branch of engineering after completion of the common first year
(refer to the entry for the Bachelor of Engineering earlier in this section).
It is recommended that students wishing to enter this branch of engineering
complete ENG1030 (Electrical systems) in the common first year.
The first three levels of the course provide a broad foundation in electrical
and computer systems engineering and in the physical sciences such as physics,
chemistry and mathematics. The first of two management units is studied at
level 3. At level 4, students, while completing their core units and the second
management unit, are able to choose from a large number of electives in
electrical power systems, computer systems, control engineering, electronics,
telecommunications engineering, biomedical engineering and robotics. These
units build upon material studied in earlier levels. Electives comprise
approximately 60% of level 4.
The design and thesis projects at level 3 and 4 build self-reliance and
planning capabilities in both individual and team-based environments. Projects
are often related closely to the department's exceptionally strong research and
collaborative industry programs within its research centres.
Students should refer to 'Course map 4 - Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering)' at the back of this section for an outline of the course requirements for this program.
