Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Engineering) (Honours)/Bachelor of Computer Science

Gain expertise in both the hardware and structure of computer systems, and the software used to control them.

In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Engineering) (Honours)/Bachelor of Computer Science, you’ll acquire extensive knowledge of computer system architecture, software design and the necessary skills required for developing embedded hardware and network-based computer systems.

The computer science degree will develop a skill set that spans from theoretical and algorithmic foundations to cutting-edge developments in computing. You will gain deep knowledge of systems infrastructure, software methods and technologies, and application technologies.

The computer and network engineering degree will develop your skills in the field of embedded systems or smart devices, as well as provide you with expertise in large scale network design and the implementation of digital communication networks that are vital for many big businesses.

This double degree will also allow you to focus your skills on a range of topics, covering the Internet of Things (loT), software engineering, artificial Intelligence, sensor networks, high-performance parallel processing, real-time embedded systems, signal processing, programming and software development.

Businesses will spend more on software and computer systems in the years to come. The demand for graduates with both computer engineering and computer science expertise is expected to be very high.

Computer scientists and computer engineers design and build computer and communication networks, and work with both the hardware and structure of computer systems and the software controlling them.

Graduates of the Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Network Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Computer Science can pursue a career in a range of industries including, aerospace, automotive, manufacturing, embedded systems, computing, resource, defence, and primary industries.

Telecommunication operators such as Telstra, equipment manufacturers such as Cisco, and IT departments of all organisations employ computer network and systems engineers to carry out design, implementation, and maintenance tasks.

Universities, research organisations and software development companies also need computer scientists and engineers to improve their computer and software technologies and products.

Job opportunities exist with governments to improve defence, security and emergency services.
