Bachelor of Engineering - Telecommunications Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Computer Science
RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
In this double degree you'll combine studies in telecommunications engineering with computer science to gain a unique skill set. As an RMIT telecommunications engineering student, you'll develop knowledge and skills to design, build and manage systems that transfer, store and manage information via wireless, cable, optical fibre, and satellite communications. Through your computer science studies you'll gain extensive knowledge of computer systems infrastructure, software methods and technologies. You'll also gain advanced knowledge and skills in developing network-based real-life computing applications. By combining the knowledge of telecommunications engineering with skills in computer science, you are ideally suited to undertake a leading role in system and network applications development and management, particularly within the area of network engineering.
Structure
Years 1, 2 and 3 - In the first three years, you will learn the fundamentals of computer science and telecommunications engineering, plus the mathematics and physics that support these disciplines. Years 4 and 5 - Your final two years are specialisation years, aiming at making you work-ready. You will develop advanced skills in computer science and telecommunication technologies. Your final-year (capstone) project will develop and reinforce the skills and knowledge you need - as defined by Engineers Australia - to commence your professional engineering career. You will develop professional skills in research, problem solving, teamwork, leadership, project management and communication. You'll also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 2, 3 or 4.
