Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Mathematics

Course Details

Computer systems engineers are experts in software development, electronic hardware design and networking. They design, build and test computer hardware and interface hardware to other equipment and networks. They also write the software with which the end user interacts. The Bachelor of Computer Systems Engineering (Honours) program covers the theoretical and practical knowledge required to create a computing system from inception. It enables students to innovate a computer system as part of an existing engineering system such as a controller of industrial plant or equipment. The degree focuses on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates are able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerge in the future. Mathematical skills are valuable wherever real world problems must be solved, including the areas of manufacturing and scheduling. The private sector needs statisticians in management and technical roles, finance, bioinformatics, biotechnology, health research, marketing, insurance, engineering and more. In addition, government agencies and research institutions employ statisticians to design, collect, analyse and interpret data. Computer Systems Engineering and Mathematics interact very closely with each other in some areas of particular importance. These include big data analytics, high performance, mobile and cloud computing. A student doing this double degree will not only gain expertise in the core areas of these disciplines, but also will have an extra advantage in the above areas of close interaction.
