Details
Electrical engineering is concerned with the design, research, development, planning, manufacture and management of electrical systems and devices which underpin modern economies and contribute to quality of life. Information technology is an integral part of all commercial, industrial and government activities.
Why choose this course?
This double degree gives you the skills to become a computer and electronic engineer suited to the development and application of consumer electronics (like mobile devices, iPods, DVD players and CD players) and electronic and computer systems (like traffic lights, ATMs and mobile networks). The engineering component consists of studies in electronic systems engineering and integrates with the information technology component to give you a wide and advanced study of modern electronics and computing systems.
Career outcomes
Many graduates find employment in areas such as communications, railways, electricity supply, hospitals, transport and in organisations that are using electronics, electronic systems, computers and microprocessors to monitor, control, communicate and optimise processes and production, in areas such as mining and aerospace.
Professional recognition
This course has professional accreditation from Engineers Australia (EA), and the Australian Computer Society (ACS). EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord, and ACS is a signatory to the Seoul Accord, which permits graduates from accredited member courses to work in various countries across the world.
Cooperative Education Program
The Cooperative Education Program is a joint venture between industry and the Science and Engineering Faculty which gives you the opportunity to undertake six or 12 months of paid industry placement to better prepare you for employment after you graduate.
