Course code: 0333 + Course abbreviation: BTech(CompSt) + Total credit points required: 144 + 3 years full-time, 6 years part-time
On-campus (Clayton)
This
course is articulated with the Diploma of Technology (Computing), offered at
the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE and Frankston campus of Chisholm Institute.
After successful completion of the first year of this program (normally 70%
average), students may transfer directly into the second year of the Bachelor
of Technology (Computer Studies) at Monash University's Clayton campus. The
third year of the course is also conducted at the Clayton campus. The course
aims to produce technologists who are flexible in their thinking and so are
able to respond to the changing needs of industry.
The Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) degree is of three years duration
if taken full-time or up to six years if taken part-time. These time limits
include an allowance of one year for completion of approved studies at TAFE. It
forms part of a program which links university degrees with courses in
designated TAFE colleges.
This
is a new course structure for students entering level 2 of the program from
2005 onwards. Students who entered the program prior to 2005 should refer to
the handbook for the year in which they commenced the course.
The first level of the course is completed at an approved TAFE institute.
Students are awarded 48 credit points of advanced standing at level 1 on the
successful completion of all prescribed level 1 units taken from approved TAFE
institutes.
At levels 2 and 3, six units (five in the last semester) are studied in each of
the four semesters which comprise the second and third years of the Monash
degree. Level 2 of the course includes units in the areas of engineering
programming, electrical engineering, telecommunications, mathematics, computer
organisation, operating systems and digital design.
Level 3 builds on level 2, with more advanced units including management,
professional communications, computer engineering, microprocessor systems,
industrial electronics and instrumentation, data communications and an
industrial project.
Students take one elective unit at level 2 and three elective units at level 3,
and may choose from a wide range of units including real-time control and
software engineering, internet architectures and protocols, large-scale digital
design, mechanoinformatics, computer graphics and computer applications. All
electives must be approved by the course leader. The core and elective units
required at levels 2 and 3 in the course are listed below.
Students should refer to 'Course map 16 - Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies)' at the back of this section for an outline of the course requirements for this program.
