Overview

  • Forge the foundation for a high-demand career in integrated circuit design, IoT, network engineering and other related areas
  • Accelerate career growth with essential management skills and practical experience through flagship internships
  • Gain industry-ready skills through innovative minors and hands-on training in advanced labs
  • Graduate as a globally recognised professional with a degree accredited by Engineers Australia

Electronic and computer systems engineering has rapidly advanced over recent decades, becoming a driving force in high-tech innovation, particularly in microchips and semiconductors.

The program is designed to equip students with foundational knowledge, practical skills and hands-on experience in this industry. This foundation enables you to improve engineering solutions in the design, implementation and quality assurance of analog and digital electronic systems such as embedded systems and IoT, as well as information and network systems.

To build a unique skill set aligned with specific career goals, the program offers specialisation through a range of in-demand minors: Digital Circuits and Systems, Embedded Systems and Internet of Things, Advanced Communication & Network Engineering, Advanced Software Engineering and Technology and Entrepreneurship.

In their final year, students collaborate with leading industry partners to optimise products and apply engineering expertise in their Capstone projects, while also gaining hands-on experience through a 12-week professional engineering internship placement.

This program has full accreditation from Engineers Australia (EA) at the level of Professional Engineer.

As a signatory to the Washington Accord, graduates of EA accredited programs are internationally recognised. For more information visit the EA website.
