Course Information:
College: College of Science and Technology
Division: Division of Information and Communication Sciences
Department(s): Department of Electronic Engineering
Area Of Study: Computing, Engineering and Technology
Course Type: Undergraduate
Degree Type: Bachelor Degree
CRICOS Code: 047326A
Key Features:
The Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering program starts with a solid foundation in basic sciences and core areas of electronics engineering and then focuses on the underlying technologies used in computer systems including digital electronics, computer hardware, programming and software design. Optional units allow students to concentrate on one or more aspects of modern computer systems, such as integrated-circuit design, control systems, embedded-system design, telecommunication networks, wireless systems, software engineering, information technology and eCommerce technology, etc 
Suitable For:
This degree is suitable for those who are interested in pursuing a career as a computer engineer. Computer engineers design, build and manage computer systems that carry out the processing, storage and transmission of information and the control of complex systems. Besides standalone computer systems such as desktop and laptop computers and servers, computer engineers also design embedded computer systems that are used in things such as mobile phones, consumer products (e.g. VCRs, microwave ovens), automobiles and industrial systems and design microelectronic integrated circuit chips. 
Career Opportunities:
A broad range of career opportunities exist for engineers from sales, management, technical projects, and research and development. Engineering graduates are recognised for their ability to easily adapt to a broad range of jobs.
