Aim
This program aims to provide graduates with skills in both engineering and information technology, which prepares graduates for a career in the manufacturing or the information services industries. It provides graduates with a range of engineering skills at a professional level, and prepares students for the applications of computer systems in manufacturing industry or government organisations.
Content & Structure
The engineering studies over the five years of the program focus on basic engineering sciences, communication, the role of the engineer in society, manufacturing practices, processes, and automation; while providing specialist studies in energy systems, machine design, robotics and intelligent manufacturing at a professional level.
The computer science program supports the engineering program with studies in computer system architecture, database technology, internet technology and object-oriented system development. In the fifth year, students complete a research or industry-based engineering project, which provides students with an opportunity to integrate a range of skills developed throughout the program.
