COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course combines the fundamental engineering disciplines of electronic and communication systems.
It provides graduates with skills in all aspects of analog and digital circuit design, as well as communication systems and communications networks development. The course concentrates on the engineering principles required to analyse and solve problems related to the design and implementation of electronic and communication systems. Graduates will be conversant in the fundamental engineering sciences, electronic circuits and systems, digital signal processing, radio communications, fibre optic and microwave communications, computer networking, and cellular and wireless networks.
The program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem solving, team work and project development. As a result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies, graduates will gain strong analytical skills, and have the ability to lead complex projects.
The course provides a sound basis in mathematics, and in the fundamentals of electronics and engineering design principles in the first two years of study, along with relevant computer technology and programming principles. In the final two years of study, advanced topics from the electronics and communication systems engineering fields are covered to prepare students to enter their chosen profession with relevant knowledge and skills.
The first year of this course includes a set of eight units that are common across all engineering honours courses. This allows students the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the various engineering disciplines on offer and the flexibility, if desired, to switch to another engineering discipline/course without penalty after the first year of study.
Course learning outcomes
Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the electronics and communications engineering discipline.
Think critically, and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex electronics and communications engineering problem solving.
Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage electronics and communications engineering projects, with some intellectual independence.
Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the electronics and communications engineering discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domains.
Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice.
Career Opportunities
Employment opportunities exist in most sectors of industry, including communication and telecommunication, product development, fabrication, public utilities, mining and resource, defence, aerospace, and consulting.
Possible future job titles
Electronics Engineer, Communications Engineer

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a large, multi-campus institution serving communities in Western Australia and internationally.ECU was awarded university status in 1991, but despite its relative youth, the University has a proud history of more than a century of service to education in Western Australia and is recognised for its teaching and learning, excellence in research, and partnerships with the community.We have more than 23,300 students, including around 18,500 undergraduates and 4,800 postgraduates. Approximately 3,600 international students attend the University, originating from 104 countries.We are a progressive University with courses developed through ongoing industry input, and employing lecturers who engage fully with their students. We’re a university that knows while knowledge is important, understanding comes from experience –experience that enables you to adapt what you’ve learned to whatever opportunities come your way. Because that’s when you do more than just survive in this world. You thrive in it.
