     Course information page

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronic Systems and Security) requires three years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).

The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.

This new course has been designed to be accredited at the level of Engineering Technologist and will be presented for accreditation by Engineers Australia in the near future. Engineering technologist courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Sydney Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered Engineering Technologist status.

  • Combined degrees

Admission requirements

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements. 

Successful completion of SACE Stage 1 (Year 11) Mathematics, SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) General Mathematics or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required for entry. Knowledge of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed.

Course aims

The course has been designed to provide graduates with:

  • a strong foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering, particularly those relevant to the development of electronic systems as they relate to electromagnetic and other forms of security
  • an awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of engineering
  • an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
  • an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
  • well-developed written and oral communication skills
  • the ability to work and interact professionally as an individual and as a member of multi-disciplinary teams
  • an understanding of the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so
  • preparation for future roles as engineering technologists

Learning outcomes

On completion of this course you will be able to:

  • proficiently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of electronic systems, particularly those that relate to electromagnetic and other forms of security
  • demonstrate an understanding of various aspects of the engineering discipline and a technical understanding of some areas of electronic and electromagnetic systems engineering
  • apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner
  • communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies
  • work professionally as an individual and in a team
  • understand and describe the processes through which current knowledge was developed
  • develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied
  • engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge in the area of electronic engineering
  • plan and execute a research project, applying relevant methodologies and knowledge

Notes

  1. Students who enter with SACE Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics or SACE Stage 2 Mathematical Methods should replace Fundamental Mathematics with other topics.
  2. If ENGR7710A Engineering Project A and ENGR7710B Engineering Project B are undertaken at an approved location under the supervision of an accredited engineer, then ENGR9405 Engineering Work Experience may be replaced by another topic. Students should consult the course coordinator.

Combined degrees

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronic Systems and Security) may also be studied in a combined degree program with

  • Bachelor of Science (Physics)
  • another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy

Every effort has been made to ensure the information published on the Course Rule pages is accurate at the time of publication.
