Requisite map
Overview
Electrical and computer systems engineers develop electronic solutions to underpin a broad range of development supporting every aspect of engineering. In particular, graduates often employ their skills in the biomedical, computer systems, electronics, electrical power engineering, robotics and telecommunications industries. You will acquire skills, knowledge and experience in electrical and electronic engineering including the fundamentals of circuits, electronic signals and signal processing, digital electronics and systems on a chip, and the design of large-scale power and telecommunications systems.
In this specialisation, you will have the opportunity to also pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements electrical and computer systems engineering.
Availability
Electrical and computer systems engineering is listed in E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Clayton and Malaysia as an undergraduate specialisation.

Professional Practice domain
6 credit pointsPart D. Professional practice
Clayton campus students: To meet the Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competency Standard to be a Professional Engineer you must enrol in ENG0001 in your final year and satisfy the professional development requirements.
Malaysia campus students: To meet the Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia industrial training requirements to be a Professional Engineer, you must enrol in ENG0002 in the second semester of your third year and complete the industrial training.
Part E. Elective studies36 credit points
- In year 2: 12 credit points at Level 1, 2 or 3 from the Faculty of Engineering or other faculties;
- In years 3 and 4: 24 credit points at Level 3, 4 or 5 from the Technical electives list.
Note 1: Electives must be completed at the required unit level to satisfy the course requirements.
Note 2: You may use your elective studies to complete an engineering minor, or any unit from an engineering minor, that will complement your specialisation. If you select a single unit you must ensure you meet the unit prerequisites or co-requisite rules. This will allow you to tailor your studies and broaden your knowledge within the field of engineering while still aligning with your chosen specialisation.
Note 3: You may enrol in up to two units (12 credit points) at Level 5. To be eligible to enrol in Level 5 units, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of Level 3 and be in your final year of study. If you intend to enrol in the Master of Engineering, completing Level 5 units that are core in the Master's course will reduce the total duration of your Master's study.
Double degree students are not required to complete this Part. The 36 credit points of technical electives have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore are not a requirement in the double degree courses.

Notes
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
CPD is a compulsory requirement for all Engineering students. You must complete 420 hours of continuous professional development in order to graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) qualification. It is a collection of all work including volunteer, personal and professional practice experiences outside the classroom which may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment taken throughout the duration of the course. You must submit a series of reflections on your experience with particular reference to the development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies. Visit the Student Experience website for more information about professional development.
The Engineering Accreditation Council Malaysia has similar professional experience requirements. Further information is available on the Industrial training website.
Please note that this Area of Study was previously coded as ECSYSENG04.
