Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering)

THE COURSE STRUCTURE BELOW ONLY APPLIES TO RE-ENROLLING STUDENTS WHO COMMENCED THEIR STUDIES PRIOR TO 2008

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 Business and Economics); 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.

Completing the Electrical Engineering degree will enable students to rigorously integrate the mathematics of signals, systems and information with the science of electrical phenomena, in the formulation and solution of problems in areas such as telecommunications, monitoring and automation, energy distribution, and digital computing. We aim to develop: scientific understanding of electrical phenomena as a basis for mathematical modelling and abstraction in analysis and design; problem-solving and design skills; the ability to construct simulations and laboratory experiments; and good communication skills.

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.

There is no further entry into this course.

NOTE:The single degree, Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering), requires the completion of 400 points usually over four years. Student who have not yet completed the requirements of the Bachelor of Engineering degree should see a course adviser.

Final Year Subjects

Approved CSSE 3 level and above 25points

Elective(s) (37.5 points in total) - Elective subjects may be taken from Electrical Engineering electives, 300-level and above Computer Science subjects and subjects offered by other departments.

In selecting electives, students are reminded that the Computer Engineering degree completion requirements include a minimum of 25 points management or non-technical electives.

The selection of elective subjects may be restricted by timetable and pre-requisite requirements.

Final Year Electrical Engineering Electives

Computer Science Electives including but not limted to:

Note: These electives may not be offered every year

An Engineering graduate has a unique skill set comprising a blend of technical, business and interpersonal skills. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Engineering at the University of Melbourne, students will have strong analytical skills, the ability to lead teams and projects and the creativity to look at problems in a way that provides innovative solutions. Our graduates are known for their high standards and professionalism, their understanding of global issues and their outstanding communication skills. For details, see “Objectives”.

Pre-requisite requirements and not allowed subject/s should be checked before selecting any subject.
