Bachelor of Engineering
(Electronics and
Communications)
G98 - JO
Duration: 4 Years
Practicum: Yes
Combines the fundamental Engineering disciplines of
Electronic Systems and Communication Systems to provide
graduates with skills in all aspects of analog and digital circuit
design, and communications systems development.
Concentrates on the engineering principles required to analyse
and solve problems related to the design and implementation
of electronic and communication systems. Graduates of the
course will be conversant in the fundamental physical sciences,
electronic circuits and systems, digital signal processing,
power electronics, fibre optic and microwave communications,
computer networking, and cellular and wireless networks.
The course focuses on the development of knowledge and skills
relevant to professional engineering practice and, along with a
sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical
problem solving, team work and project development. As a
result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill
competencies, graduates will have strong analytical skills and
the ability to lead complex projects.
Employment opportunities exist in most sectors of industry
including communication and telecommunication, product
development, fabrication, public utilities, mining and resource,
defence, aerospace and consulting.
Admission requirements
Year 12 Maths; or equivalent.
Year 12 Physics or equivalent is desirable.
