Engineering technologists bridge the gap between technicians and engineers and work with other professionals in solving engineering problems. The electronics and computer engineering industry is a quickly evolving area. It plays a significant role in a wide range of industries through the design and construction of electronic applications and systems enhancing technologies such as: mobile phones satellites communication systems satellite navigation control systems for transport broadband services energy production high-definition television satellite phones This degree will prepare you for work as an engineering technologist, with the skills and knowledge needed to advise in planning, designing, operating and maintaining electronic engineering works. You will gain an understanding of project management principles, microprocessor techniques, electric circuits, engineering practice and sustainability, control systems and more. You will develop the skills in hardware and software design and implementation which you will need to work in cutting-edge, high-technology fields, including communications, microelectronics, computer systems, biomedical engineering and control systems (robotics).

As a graduate, you will be able to work in in areas that involve designing, implementing and maintaining computer and communications systems. You will be equipped with knowledge of scientific foundations, principles and procedures underlying the design of electronic circuits and systems. You will be skilled in using computers to design and test electronic systems and be able to apply your knowledge to areas such as communications, control systems, digital circuits and systems, and computer hardware and software. Equipped with project management skills, you will also understand the responsibilities and ethics of professional engineers. You will be qualified to work as an aviation systems engineer, computer engineer or programmer, data analyst, electronics engineer, macro- or microelectronic engineer, network engineer, or software or systems engineer. Engineers are employed in a wide range of industries, including in research, telecommunications, manufacturing, mining, the defence forces, geoscience and remote sensing, robotics, consumer electronics, and biomedicine.
