Power the future.

The Bachelor of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) covers a diverse range of fields, including biomedical, computer systems, electronics, electrical power engineering, robotics and telecommunications.

It is a field that evolves rapidly, with new technologies and techniques being patented every day. It spans all scales of electrical and electronic engineering, from the fundamentals of circuits, electronic signals and signal processing, through to digital electronics and chip-based systems, to the design of large-scale power and telecommunication systems.

Professionals in the electrical and electronics engineering field are constantly striving to innovate and push the boundaries of current technologies. This is evidenced by the countless patents filed each year, which cover everything from novel materials and components to cutting-edge systems and applications.

As an electrical and computer systems engineer, you might design products such as smartphones, virtual reality systems or video games, or maybe robotic medical devices to assist in surgery and rehabilitation.

The first three levels of the course provide a broad foundation in electrical and computer systems engineering and in sciences such as physics, chemistry and mathematics. At levels three and four, you’ll complete core units and a management unit, and choose from a large number of electives which build upon material studied at earlier levels. Electives comprise approximately 37 per cent of levels three and four.

The design and thesis projects at level three and four build self-reliance and planning capabilities in both individual and team-based environments. Projects are often related closely to the department’s exceptionally strong research and collaborative industry programs within its research centres.
