Bachelor of Engineering(Electronic & Computer Systems Engineering)(Hon)/Bachelor of Computer Science

In Years 4 and 5, students can choose specialisations from engineering options including Electronic and Telecommunications, Network Security (network and algorithms), Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies, Humanitarian Innovation, and Spacecraft Technologies, as well as computer science options including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Blockchain Technologies, Cloud Computing, Cyber Assurance, Data Science, and Enterprise Systems Development Options.

Yes. The Bachelor of Engineering(Electronic & Computer Systems Engineering)(Hon)/Bachelor of Computer Science is fully accredited by Engineers Australia, which is a signatory to the Washington Accord, meaning the degree is internationally recognised and graduates are able to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world. The program is also conditionally accredited at a professional level by the Australian Computer Society.

Work-integrated learning is embedded in the degree, enabling students to gain practical experience and employability skills. Opportunities include designing creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge, undertaking industry placements in Australia or overseas, and learning programming in RMIT's innovative Bootcamp2Studio model. Students will also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 3, 4 or 5.

The ATAR entry score for this program is 83.00 for domestic students. Entry is competitive, and eligible applicants are ranked and selected in order of merit based on their academic achievement plus any adjustment factors, up to a maximum of 28 aggregate adjustment points.

In the first three years, students will learn the fundamentals of computer science and the basic principles of computer and network engineering, as well as mathematics and physics that support these disciplines. Through project work, students will gain knowledge of engineering methods, teamwork, communication and leadership skills. In the first year, students will study an Introduction to Engineering subject incorporating a humanitarian-focused Engineers Without Borders Challenge, and participate in the Bootcamp2Studio programming model to develop programming skills and apply software development practices through practical, project-based work.
