Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering for 2009

Course overview

Thanks to computer systems engineers, we have mobile phones, video games, high-definition TV, virtual-reality systems, 'smart' domestic appliances, the Internet and high-performance computers. The course offers a comprehensive training that spans all aspects of computers, from hardware design to software systems. Students analyse, design, develop, and manufacture digital products and systems that include both hardware and software. In first year, students concentrate on the core units of computer science (introduction to programming, algorithms and data structures), electrical systems and computer engineering, digital logic systems and mathematics. In later years, you study units such as computer architecture, systems and organisation, science of programming, numerical computing, circuit theory, electromagnetic theory, telecommunications, electronics and control systems, physics, mathematics and management. In the final year, students explore computer engineering, computer science, computer systems engineering and undertake a thesis project. Electives include computer systems engineering, telecommunications and information technology.
