In this program you will gain the knowledge, principles and skills essential for a professional career in the electronic, computer systems, communication and network engineering domains. 

Throughout the program you will develop the fundamental skills in each domain and then choose to specialise in one or more areas to ensure that you graduate job-ready.

You 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.

You 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.   

You 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.

You will have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused challenge offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

You will also complete a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective in Year 2, 3 or 4.

Industry connections

The School of Engineering has an Industry Advisory Committee for the Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering program, which is an important link to industry.

Membership includes senior engineers from numerous major national companies and government and non-government organisations.

The Committee provides comments and advice on the contents of the program to ensure its continued relevance to industry and government organisations .

The School also has extensive links with industry, particularly through research projects and consulting services. In many cases, industry has provided direct support by donating laboratory equipment.

You may be able to undertake an industry-sponsored design project in your final year (as part of Engineering Capstone Project Part A and Part B).

Note: You will not need to pay any application fee but some of African countries will need to deposit of AU$100 application fee.
