Description

The course offers a comprehensive training that spans all aspects of computers from hardware design to software systems. This course complements the Bachelor of Telecommunications Engineering and has a significant amount of common material material at levels one and two studies, allowing the interaction of students from both degree programs.

Objectives

Students analyse, design, develop and manufacture all kinds of digital products, including both hardware and software. They learn to plan and design, commission, monitor, optimise and manage complex computer systems.

Structure

The course commences with the establishment of a sound foundation in computer science, electrical engineering, mathematics and the physical sciences. Engineering units comprise approximately one-half laboratory based studies. Engineering management units strengthen the formal basis of project management. Elective units are provided to allow specialisation in some aspect of the field of study, with approved electives to permit broadening of intellectual and personal horizons. Approved electives comprise approximately 25 per cent of unit material at levels two and three of the course, with 50 per cent elective material at level four. The flexible elective structure permits students to choose the particular area of computer systems engineering they wish to initially specialise in upon graduation. Students are also encouraged, where appropriate, to use electives to take international studies, including human languages, and studies through the evolving collaborations with other universities overseas.

The design and thesis projects at levels three and four 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.

The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.

Award(s) received on completion *

Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering

Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (with Honours)

* Where more than one award is listed, or in the case of double degrees, where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree, the actual award/s conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved (eg in the case of 'with honours' programs), or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.
