This course provides a pathway for students who wish to pursue a career as a technologist in the fields of electronics or computer systems.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
Students are required to undertake a minimum of 8 weeks practical work experience in an engineering technology industry environment.
Work experience units will normally be undertaken during a vacation period.
Academic admission standard for the following entry pathways:
It is desirable that all applicants have Mathematics: Methods ATAR, with equivalents considered. Alternatively applicants can complete a bridging unit during the first year of their studies if they have not passed Mathematics: Methods ATAR.
Requirements from 01-JAN-2017: It is desirable that all applicants have passed Mathematics: Methods ATAR, with equivalents considered. Alternatively applicants can complete a bridging unit during the first year of their studies if students have not passed Mathematics: Methods ATAR.
Bunbury applicants please note: There is an option to study up to eight foundation units from this degree at ECU's South West (Bunbury) campus, which may include attending a short set of lab sessions at Joondalup campus by the end of each semester, depending on the units studied. After completing these eight units, Bunbury students will need to attend ECU's Joondalup campus to complete the rest of their course.
