-| Course Overview: |
The BE and BE(IT) courses in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science offer three distinct streams of the BE degree: electrical engineering, computer engineering and software engineering. The three streams have most first-year subjects in common, and with the appropriate selection of subjects it is possible to defer the choice of stream until the commencement of second year, and in some cases, until the middle of second year. Each of the three streams may be taken in the combined degrees: BE/BA, BE(IT)/BA (with an arts major in any department in the Faculty of Arts); BE/BCom, BE(IT)/BCom (with a commerce major in any department in the Faculty of Economics and Commerce); BE/LLB, BE(IT)/LLB; and BE/BSc, BE(IT)/BSc (with a major in any department in the Faculty of Science, with the majority of students undertaking a major in computer science, physics or mathematics, however students in the software engineering stream of the BE or BE(IT) are not permitted to take a computer science major in the BSc). Computer science as a Science Faculty major may be combined with a BE in chemical, civil, environmental and mechanical engineering through the BE/BSc degree program.
The single degree, Bachelor of Engineering (Software) requiries the completion of 400 points over four years. |

| Course Structure & Available Subjects: | The recommended or standard course structures are listed below. When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the Faculty reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Where the courses include elective subjects these should be chosen so that timetable clashes are avoided. In particular, students in combined degrees should plan their courses so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component. |

Second Year Subjects listed below MUST be taken in this approved order, regardless of semester availability. Semester 1Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: Semester 2Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: Elective (12.5 points) - Elective subjects may be used for additional Electrical Engineering or Computer Science subjects, or for subjects from other departments. The subject 431-204 Digital Systems 2: System Design may be replaced by 433-313 Computer Design, taken in Third Year. Third Year Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: CSSE 300-level elective (12.5 points) Elective(s) (25 points in total) Students who commenced before 2004 may replace 433-342 with one of 433-332, 433-351, 433-353, 433-371, or 433-441. Note that in 2005 the Department of Computer Science and SoftwareEngineering introduced restrictions to the computing subjects offered by other departments which can be taken as electives in the BCS, BE(Software), BE(Eng Mgt) Software and BE(Biomedical) Bioinformatics programs. Students are advised to visit when choosing their subjects. Fourth Year Subject Study Period Commencement: Credit Points: CSSE 300-level or 400-level elective(s) (50 points in total) Elective(s) (25 points in total) The 50 points labelled CSSE electives must be selected, subject to prerequisites being satisfied, from the 300-level, 400-level and (with the approval of the department) masters-level subjects offered by the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering and must include at least 50 points selected from: 433-332 Operating Systems, 433-351 Database Systems, 433-353 Networks and Communications, 433-371 Interactive System Design, 433-441 System Modelling and Analysis. Other elective subjects may be used for additional computer science or electrical engineering subjects, or for subjects in other departments. The selection of elective subjects may be restricted by timetable and prerequisite requirements.
