Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Systems) (Honours)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Systems) (Honours) prepares students to develop the specialised skills to design and analyse hardware systems and algorithms for products such as mobile phones and gaming consoles through to aircraft flight control systems, unmanned vehicles and global telecommunications systems. Computer and network systems engineers build the computer based systems required to meet the future needs of a world in which technology is constantly evolving. Specifically, computer and network systems engineers are interested in the integration of computer hardware and computer software. The degree has a strong and balanced emphasis on the development of theoretical concepts, practical engineering skills and teamwork. With computer systems integral to almost every aspect of modern life, from the home to the workplace and beyond, employment opportunities are vast. Graduates can secure employment in the private and public sectors and, with highly transferable skills, can move easily between various sectors and industries. Examples of potential occupations for computer systems engineers include computer systems engineer, software test engineer, research scientist, patent examiner, business associate consultant and graduate analyst.
