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

When you study computer and autonomous systems engineering, not only will you focus your learning on how computer systems work, but how they integrate into the bigger picture. You will learn to design computers and/or computer systems, hardware and software to control sensors, embedded devices and manufacturing or industrial plants. You will study electrical engineering, software design and hardware-software integration, from the development of supercomputers to circuit design in this major. You will acquire specialist expertise in the fields of computer architecture and software design to combine hardware and software solutions to solve practical problems.

You will study a common first year, allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before focusing on computer and autonomous systems engineering from your second year onwards. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics,  computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, and materials. This degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.
