Bachelor of Engineering - Computer and Network Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Computer Science
RMIT University
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00122A
Computer and network engineering and computer science are taught together in this flagship double degree. You'll learn the hardware, architecture and organisation of computer systems and communication networks, and the software used to control them. You'll develop knowledge, skills and capabilities to design, implement and maintain complex hardware and software systems, and excellent programming skills. In the years to come, the demand for graduates with both engineering and computer science expertise is expected to be very high. You'll be prepared for the workplace via hands-on experience in our well-equipped laboratories. You'll also gain real world experience through engineering work experience. RMIT graduates work in industries including defence, health and science, business, communication and security. They design and build computer-based systems and communication networks, and work with both the hardware and structure of computer systems and the software controlling them.
Structure
Year 1 - You'll study programming basics, circuit theory and and web concepts, principles and tools. You'll also study engineering methods and analysis, mathematics and physics - studies that are essential for engineers. Year 2 - Moving into more technical areas, you'll look at electronics, engineering design, embedded systems and software engineering, network fundamentals, user-centred design principles and database concept systems. Year 3 - You will undertake compulsory and elective studies, providing you with solid foundation to specialise in various areas of computer and network engineering and computer science. Year 4 and 5 You'll conduct project work on both a team and individual basis, which will help you develop teamwork, management and communication skills. You'll also apply engineering and research methods to a complex engineering problem and challenge, making you industry ready. Your study will closely resemble the work of practising engineers.
