Course code: 1015 + Course abbreviation: BE(ECSE) + Total credit points required: 192 (48 points at Bachelor of Engineering level 1, plus 144 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)

Study mode and course location

On-campus (Clayton; Malaysia)

Course description

The Bachelor of Engineering in electrical and computer systems engineering has been developed to provide students with a broad scientific training in fundamental studies in a number of areas of electrical and computer systems engineering.

The title of the branch 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.

Course structure

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 and ENG1040 in the 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. At levels 3 and 4, students, while completing their core units and a 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 37% of levels 3 and 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.

Course requirements

This is a new course structure for students entering level 2 of the program from 2006 onwards. Levels 3 and 4 of the program will be offered from 2007. Students who entered level 2 of the program prior to 2006 should refer to the handbook for the year in which they commenced the course.

Second year

Total: 48 points
