Overview

NOTE: This specialisation has had one or more changes made to it since publication on 1 October 2019. For details of changes, please consult the 2020 Change register.

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.

Structure

Parts C and D. Electrical and computer systems engineering knowledge, application and professional practice108 credit points
You must complete the following core electrical and computer systems engineering units AND two ECE-coded units at level 4 or 5 from the core electives list below. NOTE: If you completed ECE2071 or ECE2072 as a First Year technical elective, you must replace the core with another unit at the same level or higher from the electrical and computer systems engineering technical electives list. NOTE: If you are studying in Malaysia, please refer to the information below for a specific professional accreditation requirement.

Core electives

12 credit points
In addition to the sixteen core units (totalling 96 credit points) listed above, you must complete two ECE-coded level 4 or 5 units (totalling 12 credit points) chosen from the list below. NOTE: To enrol in a level 5 unit, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above.

Studying in Malaysia - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

6 credit points
To satisfy the compulsory broad engineering areas stipulated by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC), you must use one of the core elective units to complete ECE4053.
Part E. Elective study - Specialisation36 credit points

Studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) single degree

36 credit points
Electives must be completed at the unit level required to satisfy the course requirements. You must complete a total of 36 credit points of engineering elective study. 12 credit points must be at levels 2 or 3 and 24 credit points must be at levels 3 and 4 or 5 from the engineering technical electives list below. If you have completed two electives in Year 1 in a non-engineering minor in a discipline from another faculty that is approved by the Faculty of Engineering, you may want to use the 12 credit points at level 2 to complete the non-engineering minor, or choose from the electrical and computer systems engineering technical electives list. If you are studying the course at the Clayton campus in Australia, you are encouraged to take up the opportunity to pursue a minor in an engineering discipline that complements your engineering specialisation.

Electrical and computer systems engineering technical electives

36 credit points
Studying in Clayton: You may consider other engineering technical units chosen from the engineering minors, subject to meeting the unit prerequisite and/or co-requisite rules. Studying in Malaysia: You may consider other engineering technical units with approval from the School of Engineering and subject to meeting the unit prerequisite and/or co-requisite rules. NOTE: To enrol in a level 5 unit listed below, you must obtain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or above at the conclusion of level 3 and be in your final year.

Studying a double degree

The 36 credit points of specialisation engineering technical electives normally required in the single degree have been credited towards the double degree structure and therefore not a requirement in the double degree courses.

Notes

You must satisfy the continuous professional development or industrial training required to complete the course. See ENG0001 (for Clayton) or ENG0002 (for Malaysia).
