This double degree program is based on two existing single degree programs, the Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Computer Systems) and the Bachelor of Science (Computer Science and Software Engineering). These courses are complementary in providing hardware and software aspects of design and development. The double degree provides a course that can be completed in five years without sacrificing the strengths of either course.

Note:
* The first 1.5 years of the recommended study sequence are common between the single Bachelor of Engineering and the double degree. This allows students with a suitable level of achievement to make a transition to the double degree.

* In addition to the above sequence, the successful completion of HED400 Professional Experience in Engineering is required for the award of the above degree and can be taken at any stage of the course.

* Students have the option to do Industry-Based Learning (IBL) for six to 12 months in Year 3 Semester 2. A fee will apply for this option. IBL can be used to fulfil the requirements of HED400.

Malaysian students are required by the Ministry of Higher Education to successfully complete the Compulsory Subjects (Mata Pelajaran Wajib) prior to graduation.

This course equips the graduates for career in the automotive industry, consumer electronic design, telecommunications and medicine, where the ability to cope with complexity in electronics design, computer systems and software development is an asset.
