Bachelor of Engineering - Electronic & Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) + Bachelor of Business - Management (BH111ECHDD) (108625C)

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) - Melbourne's Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Business will prepare students to become an engineering manager. Students will acquire extensive knowledge in the fields of electronic, computer systems, communication and network engineering with the ability to manage teams of technical / professional staff within large organisations.

Students will gain the knowledge and skills to find better solutions to challenges in design, construction and maintenance of electronic hardware, embedded systems, firmware development, communication and network systems. This could include the automation of electrical and electronic systems; audio and visual information acquisition, digital signal processing; human-machine interaction, industrial or medical instrumentation and monitoring; reconfigurable logic development; distributed computing and provision of security for computer systems and networks.

Students will also learn to design and build devices and systems that transfer and store information via radio frequency or optical fibre transmissions, and manage and secure the flow of information through such systems.

Students will have a wide range of options to specialise in various sub-areas of electronic and computer systems engineering, including: • Digital and embedded systems • Electronics and sensing applications • Network engineering and security • Wireless and optical communications • Defence systems.

Contemporary managers are increasingly expected to exercise strong ethical judgement and to be dedicated to a process of continuous learning about their practice. They are also expected to work flexibly and effectively with those around them in various organisational structures. Students will graduate ready to move into an engineering management role either relatively early in their career or after a period of experience as a professional engineer, rather than having to undertake further study to prepare for a management role.
