Overview

Support communities as you learn how to design and build livable and sustainable cities using computer technology. You will learn how to create transport and housing systems using your knowledge of how telecommunications networks, the internet and computers are built. How can we ensure ample clean water for the world's population? How can we use technology to better understand and help solve the biggest issues facing our natural world? On completion, you will be able to answer these questions and more as you learn the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to computation and engineering to meet the needs of tomorrow's employers.

You will benefit from faculty members who are driving cutting-edge research, providing innovative solutions to global issues. You will learn engineering fundamentals in your first year before deciding which major discipline to focus on from the second year. You will complete an industry placement where you may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program. Our engineering degree includes honours-level content integrated throughout the course.

As part of your computer science studies, you will enjoy practical classes set in our fully equipped modern computer labs as you study core subjects across computer science. You will then select a major to focus on as well as develop your own application as part of a team in partnership with industry. Throughout this degree, you will have the opportunity to gain real- world experience and make professional connections.
