Computer engineers design computers and/or computer systems, hardware and software to control sensors, embedded devices and manufacturing or industrial plants. This field of engineering not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but how they integrate into the larger picture. Computer engineers can choose to work in many areas such as networking, control and automation, multimedia, image processing, machine vision and intelligent systems. They work across a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, medical, transport, telecommunication, government, mining and finance, any industry which requires personnel with expertise in the design and applications of computer hardware, especially the interfacing of computers with other machinery. What you will study In the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Computer 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 Engineering focus on the development of high level computer engineering capabilities including: Hardware design Software techniques Signal processing Multimedia control systems and robotics From second year you also have the option to complete a double major, combining two engineering disciplines. Available double major combinations include: Computer Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Course Learning Outcomes Students graduating from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) will be able to: Demonstrate professional knowledge, with a strong grounding in engineering & awareness of current local and international trends and challenges. Navigate disciplinary literature with particular skills in gathering & synthesising information independently to support an argument or strategy. Implement common research methods in the field of engineering, analyse data & evaluate the validity of findings and exercise critical judgement in determining new directions and strategies for carrying out further investigation. Draw from established engineering concepts, methods and industry standards to develop innovative solutions to complex engineering problems by completing a research project relating to the respective engineering major. Communicate clearly and coherently in writing to a range of audiences, with an ability to integrate knowledge, research, data, analysis and critical evaluation.
