The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a four-year program that will prepare you for a career as an engineer. Depending on your choice of major, you might work anywhere from infrastructure and hospitals to energy and software. Choose one major, dual major or extended major from 18 different options. UQ is home to the largest number of engineering disciplines in Australia. Undertake a flexible first year, where you can mix and match introductory courses from across the majors to see what you like best. If you prefer, you can also enrol directly in your chosen major from day one. Graduate with a respected honours qualification, with advanced knowledge and skills that will set you apart in a competitive job market, prove your leadership material, and provide a pathway to future research or learning. Electrical and Computer Engineering (Dual Major) Computer engineering encompasses hardware, software and systems – how to build a computer-based device, how to program it and how to connect it to other devices to work together. Computer engineers are typically associated with the production of devices like iPads, laptops or PCs, but also play a vital role building computers that control machinery, medical instruments, cars, white goods, robots, communication equipment and satellites. As an Electrical and Computer Engineering student, you'll learn about electrical engineering, computer engineering and information technology while at the same time developing the advanced skills of a professional engineer. Career outcomes As an Electrical and Computer Engineering graduate, you'll have all the employment opportunities of a computer engineer, as well as further possibilities as an electrical engineer. Electrical engineers with in-depth knowledge of computer systems are in demand in every industry where advanced electrical and electronic equipment is designed, upgraded or even maintained. Our graduates have been employed as designers of electronic and computer hardware, as system integrators who build equipment requiring computer control, and as programmers who design and implement applications, ranging from software for embedded microcontrollers to the software used in information terminals.
