About
The Programme
This degree course will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to pursue career opportunities in this rapidly expanding field. You will learn about computer network design and development technologies focusing on the design and support of distributed computer and telecommunications networks.
The course integrates current developments in wired and wireless networking and provides a comprehensive view of the industry. You will develop skills in network design and management, and the convergence of computer hardware, embedded systems, IT, technical support, real-time systems, software, and telecommunications.
You will also learn about the internet of things (IoT) – a network of devices connected to the internet on a global scale. The IoT is expanding rapidly, and it is increasingly critical for professionals to understand how it works and how to harness its power to improve business. This course will therefore enable you to apply technical knowledge across IoT-related functions in the workplace.
COURSE Overview
Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications.
This course has been introduced to address a significant market demand for skills associated with the design of embedded Systems, sensors and the networks that underpin them. It encompasses computer technology, in terms of both hardware and software, as well as computer communications and networking incorporating Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and sensor networks in the context of the Internet of Things.
Course overview note
Students can enroll in this Bachelor degree if they are part of the Curtin SLIIT programme and meet the admission criteria. Students who wish to transfer to Curtin Bentley campus will be enrolled in the Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking).Entry and completion details
Applicants for a Bachelor Degree are required to meet University academic and English language entry standards; details are provided at http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au and include flexible entry pathways. Any specific course entry and completion requirements must also be met.
Credit for recognised learning
Applications for credit towards a course are assessed on an individual basis. Credit reduces the amount of learning required to complete the course and may be granted for formal education qualifications, non-formal learning from non-award programs of study and informal learning through work experiences. Further information can be found at https://www.curtin.edu.au/study/applying/credit-recognised-learning/
Pathway to further study
Graduates may qualify for entry to a Bachelor Degree with Honours and some Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas and Master degrees. For further details, see the University website http://curtin.edu.au.
Duration and availability
This course is three years full-time or equivalent part-time study.
Learning outcomes
Bachelor Degrees typically contain a series of units which may include compulsory (core), optional or elective units to cater for student preferences. They may contain a range of majors, streams and/or minors for students to choose from to pursue learning in a specialized area of study.
This course has core units totalling 500 credits and allows for 50 credits of options and 50 credit electives for students to graduate. The options available provide students with the opportunity to gain knowledge in areas of their own interest such as artificial intelligence, cyber security and computer communication.
Course learning outcomes
- Apply the theory of computer systems networking within the engineering design method, whilst remaining cognisant of network operational issues
- Define a problem and apply creative thinking to the formulation of a solution; verify and implement the solution
- Access information, evaluate and organise information relevant to computer systems networking
- Document networking information to meet technical and legal requirements; communicate concepts and technical information to lay and professional personnel in written, oral and electronic forms
- Use appropriate tools to design, analyse and verify computer systems networks and their components
- Recognise that the computer systems networking industry changes rapidly, and maintain currency via a spirit of inquiry and relevant further study
- Apply international standards, practices and conventions appropriate to computer systems networking
- Function effectively within a typical multidisciplinary and multi-cultural engineering design team as a team member, manager or team leader, recognising individual human rights.
- Commit to and behave in accordance with the professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers
Additional course expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.
