Undergraduate international course guide - Edith Cowan University

Computer systems engineering
bachelor of Engineering (computer Systems)
Duration: 4 years
campus: Joondalup
Practicum: Yes
Offers a synergistic combination of electronic engineering and
computer science.
Computer Systems engineers have a wide knowledge of digital
and analog electronic systems and a detailed understanding of
computer architecture, software design and hardware-software
interfacing. They are involved in all aspects of computing, from
the development of individual microprocessors to the design of
personal, mainframe or supercomputer systems. They are also
involved with digital and mixed signal circuit design, real-time and
embedded system implementation, and software engineering.
Students will graduate conversant in the fundamental physical
sciences, computer architecture, digital electronics, data
communications, interfacing, real-time and embedded systems,
robotics and software development.
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, students will graduate with strong analytical skills
and the ability to lead complex projects.
Employment opportunities include the development and design
of microcomputer systems, computer networks, complex
real-time systems, high performance processors, multimedia
systems, control and automation.
Admission Requirements: Equivalency to Western Australia
Certificate of Education Mathematics (3C/3D) is required, and
equivalency to Western Australia Certificate of Education Physics
(3A/3B) is desirable.
Additional course Information: Practicum Placement Students
will be required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks practical
work experience located in an engineering industry environment.
This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even
though it is listed as a unit for Year 4 (ENS4111). Professional
Accreditation Engineers Australia has granted accreditation to
this course. Parallel accreditation status has been granted for
associated double degrees.
