Computer Engineersdesign everything from computer systems (PCs, supercomputers) to portable consumer electronics (such as mobile phones, and gaming consoles).
Making an impact
Computer Engineering students focuson developing hardware and industrial software, specifically embeddedcomputer systems that we find in cars,泭cell phones, UAVs, rockets, microwaveovens and other appliances, radio andradar systems and medical equipmentlike CT scanners and X-ray machines. The range of industries in which Computer Engineering graduates are found is extensive.
Degree pathway
All Bachelor of Engineering with Honours students begin with an Intermediate Year followed by three years of study called the Professional Years.泭
Programme themes
Computer Engineering is centred around embedded devices with several other specialised areas incorporated into the degree. These include:
- Design and management
- Signals, systems and controls, robotics
- Networks and communications
- 釦棗款喧滄硃娶梗泭
- Graphics and HCI
- Algorithms and machine learning
- Electronics
- Mathematics
- Minor in Communications and Network Engineering
A minor is a specialist area that represents a concentration in a broad-based degree programme. By taking a set of specialist courses you would be eligible to apply for this minor and this would appear on your transcript. This would not appear on your degree certificate. The current Computer Engineering course options required for a minor are:,泭,泭,泭,泭*,泭
*The ENEL 400 Electrical and Computer Engineering Research Project must be taken with a communications or networking focus as approved by the Director of Studies.
Workshop and practical work requirements
Completing 800 hours of practical work is a degree requirement for the BE(Hons). Computer Engineering students must also completeBasic Workshop Course andElectrical Workshop Coursewithin the First Professional Year.
- Information on the workshop courses are available on student portalpages for ENEL198 and ENEL199.
- Book a workshop course through UC
- See the College of Engineering's overview ofpractical work and industry links.泭
