Computer systems engineering /
Computer sCienCe
bachelor of Engineering (computer Systems) /
bachelor of computer Science
Duration: 5 years
campus: Joondalup
Practicum: Yes
There is a growing demand in high-technology industries
and research centres, especially in the areas of information
technology and telecommunications, for engineers with
knowledge and professional skills in project management,
software development and relevant areas of engineering.
While specialising in the discipline areas of electronic systems,
computer systems or communication systems engineering, this
double degree broadens the overall knowledge of students in
areas that are complementary to their technical skills.
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 alongside the associated single
degree.
CourSe StruCture
Requires the completion of 43 units / 630 credit points.
careers: Computer Systems Engineer, IT Professional,
Software Engineer

bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Power)
Duration: 4 years
campus: Joondalup
Practicum: Yes
Electrical power engineering is a well established engineering
discipline encompassing electrical power generation, transmission
and distribution, power electronics, electromechanical systems
and renewable energy. 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. Students
will graduate conversant in electrical and electronic engineering
and have specialist skills in design, development and management
of advanced and sustainable electrical power generation and
transmission systems. They will also have the ability to participate
in and lead complex multidisciplinary projects. Electrical Power
engineers have diverse employment opportunities in most
sectors of industry, including public utilities, renewable energy,
mining and resource, manufacturing, defence, aerospace,
chemical and pharmaceutical and consulting.
