| Degree/Award: | Bachelor |
Our lives are increasingly dependent on computer systems. Computer systems are used for communication networks such as the Internet and for information storage such as databases. Computer systems also form part of devices such as washing machines, mobile phones and game consoles and are key components in almost every major piece of equipment that you can think of including robots, automobiles, aircraft and, of course, desktop and laptop computers.
Computer systems engineers plan, design, and improve computer systems and conceive of new ways of applying them to existing devices, equipment and processes. They have expertise in both computer programming and electronic hardware design. They can design and build computer hardware and interface it to other equipment and also write the software to run on these systems. Their detailed knowledge of both the hardware and software aspects gives them greater insight into the operation of complex systems.
Computer systems engineers are of critical importance to global industries such as automotive, defence, industrial control, consumer electronics and communications, and they have strong employment prospects both in South Australia and around the world.
This program covers the processes required to create a computing system in its own right, or to use a computer as part of an engineering system, perhaps as a controller of plant or equipment. An emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates will be able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerge in the future.
This program covers the processes required to create a computing system in its own right, or to use a computer as part of an engineering system, perhaps as a controller of plant or equipment. An emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates will be able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerge in the future. The degree provides a strong background in mathematics, physics and electronics as well as extensive practice in the design, operation and integration of hardware and software systems. Systems engineering, the management of complex engineering systems, is a focus of the last two years of the degree. A computer systems project in the final year gives students the opportunity to further explore a specialist topic. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved work experience at some time during their four years of study.
