Program Description

The School of Computer Science and Engineering and the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications have joint responsibility for the curriculum of the Computer Engineering program.

The staff of the School of Computer Science and Engineering are grouped into research groups of Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Systems, Database and Software Engineering. Courses in these areas are offered to students taking major studies in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, while introductory-level computing courses are available more generally to students studying Science, Arts or Engineering. Computer Science has links with discrete mathematics, which furnishes the theory behind the algorithms that computer software implements, and electrical engineering, which supplies the present technology underlying physical computing devices.

Note
Computer Engineering is also available as a component of the combined degree programs:
And as a concurrent program:
and as a fast track program:

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

Program Structure

The program structure below gives one sequence of courses that fulfils the requirements of the degree. The timing of the general education courses and elective courses may be modified to optimize the student's choice of courses. Suggestions for other course sequences consistent with timetabling and availability can be found on the School website at http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au or http://www.ee.unsw.edu.au . While some courses are offered twice a year, many courses are offered only once a year and students should plan their enrolments appropriately.

PLEASE NOTE:
  • The first progam structure listed is the new flexible structure for students commencing in 2006.
  • The program structure for students who enrolled prior to 2006 is listed after the 1st year of the flexible structure, and students should seek advice from their Program Director if they are unsure about what to enrol in.

Suggested Year 1 electives for this program are:
  1. ENGG1811 is an acceptable alternative for COMP1911
  2. PHYS1221 is an acceptable alternative for PHYS1231
  3. Not all courses are offered in both sessions but students should complete 24 UOC in each session.
For information relating to Years 2-4 of the flexible program structure please refer to the school website http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au

Elective Courses
1. The Program Director must approve the program selected by each student if it does not fall within the guidlnes set out for completion of the degree. Not all electives are offered in each session. Students are advised each year of the timetable of available electives. It may be possible to substitute other electives run by the participating schools, apart from those listed below, but this is not permitted if it unduly restricts the range of courses studied overall.

2. Electives for Stages 3 and 4 total 36 units of credit (6 courses of 6 units of credit, or equivalent) and are selected from Groups N, S, CE3, CE4, and D (see below), with these restrictions:

i) At least 6 units of credit must be taken from Group N

ii) At least 12 units of credit must be taken from Group CE4.

iii) At most 12 units of credit may be counted from Group S.



Group N Networks Electives

Group S Science Electives

Group CE3 Level-3 Computer Engineering Electives

Group CE4 Level-4 Computer Engineering Electives
