Overview

This program provides study of both the theory and practice of engineering principles while providing students with a choice of electives, allowing them to follow special interests in computing hardware and software. Emphasis is placed on understanding and mastering the underlying principles and techniques of software engineering so that graduates will be able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerge in the future. The early years of the program build a scientific and engineering foundation of computing, mathematics and digital electronics, in preparation for the more specialised software engineering courses. The third and fourth years have a strong emphasis on group software development projects with close industrial connections.
Students are also required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience during their study. Graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia, the Australian Computer Society (ACS) the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the American-based Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Software) is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years.
