U78 Bachelor of Technology (Electronic and Computer Systems)

INTRODUCTION

This is a three year course that provides a pathway for students who wish to pursue a career as a technologist in the fields of electronics or computer systems. Students who do not meet the mathematics prerequisites to gain entry into the full Bachelor of Engineering programmes may also use this course as a pathway into these programmes. On successful completion of the first year of studies in this course, providing the MAT1137 Introductory Applied Mathematics unit has been passed or exempted, students may apply for a transfer to one of the Bachelor of Engineering courses. If their transfer is approved they will be granted advanced standing for all applicable units they have completed as part of their Bachelor of Technology studies.

 

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Overseas students may be admitted to this course subject to satisfying English proficiency entry requirements, in addition to meeting academic admission requirements.

 

PRACTICUM REQUIREMENTS

During the course, students will be required to undertake a minimum of 8 weeks practical work experience located in an engineering technology industry environment. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even though it is listed as a unit for Year 3 (ENS3173).

 
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Standard University admission requirements apply.

 
SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
  • WACE Mathematics 3A/3B, or equivalent, is desirable.
  • Students who have completed a TAFE Diploma or its equivalent in an allied engineering field may be admitted to this course with advanced standing.

 

Note: Students who have not passed WACE Mathematics 3A/3B, or equivalent, will be required to complete a bridging unit during the first year of their studies.
