Program Overview

This program provides a project based Engineering Degree combining the disciplines of Electronics Engineering and Information Technology to produce graduates comfortable with a team approach for the development of software and hardware systems within an Engineering context. On accreditation graduates will be eligible for membership of both the Institution of Engineers, Australia and the Australian Computer Society.

This program is intended to produce engineers competent in the areas of research, design, development, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance and management of computing systems requiring the specialised application of digital electronic engineering in the effective integration of hardware and software components of computing systems. A focus of the program is to provide industry with engineers capable of working in multi-disciplinary teams developing software for the control and management of industrial systems.

Program duration note: A considerable number of courses are available in the external mode and it is possible for students to undertake approximately one third of the programs externally.
