Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Systems) Honours/Bachelor of Computer Science

While specialising in the engineering discipline areas of electronic systems, computer systems and communication systems, this double degree broadens the overall knowledge of students in areas which are complementary to their engineering skills.

There is a growing demand in high technology industries and research centres, especially in the areas of robotics, data science, cyber security and telecommunications, for engineers with knowledge and professional skills in project management, software development and relevant areas of engineering.

• Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the computer systems engineering discipline.
• Think critically, and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex computer systems engineering problem solving.
• Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage computer systems engineering projects, with some intellectual independence.
• Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline and fluently apply computer systems engineering techniques, tools and resources.
• Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
• Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the computer systems engineering discipline, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
• Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
• Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice.
