COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course summary
Computer and Autonomous Systems Engineers design computer hardware and systems for all aspects of daily life and in any industry where computer and autonomous systems are prevalent – driverless cars, autonomous aerial vehicles, Artificial Intelligence Systems, computer hardware design, medical equipment, automotive and transport sector, smart buildings, automated public infrastructure, manufacturing, automated production line processes and service delivery and design of personal electronic devices and Internet of Things.
They work across a wide range of sectors including robotics and manufacturing, surveillance, medical, transport, construction, telecommunications, power generation and distribution, renewable energy, resources – any industry which requires personnel with expertise in the design and applications of computer systems and hardware, especially the interfacing of computers with other machinery.
This degree
You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before deciding which discipline to study. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids. You then focus on your chosen major study from second year.
Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.
Engineers work in a variety of industries, contributing within teams for complex projects and taking a lead role in design work, troubleshooting, testing, analysis and verification of component and system performance, project management, and system commissioning.
What you will study
In the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Computer and Autonomous Systems Engineering you will study electrical engineering, software design and hardware-software integration, from the development of super computers to circuit design. You will acquire specialist expertise in the fields of computer architecture and software design to combine hardware and software solutions to solve practical problems.
After completing two years of physics, maths, computer programming, circuit theory and general engineering-based subjects, the later years of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Computer and Autonomous Systems Engineering focus on the development of high level computer engineering capabilities including:
Hardware Design
Software Design
Signal Processing
Multimedia Control Systems and Robotics
Autonomous Systems
From second year you also have the option to complete a double major, combining Computer and Autonomous Systems Engineering with Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
