The Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunication and Network Engineering is a broad-based program. It develops in students a mastery of the basic engineering principles underlying electronic and telecommunications engineering. This program emphasises an in-depth understanding of the technology of the internet and the international telecommunications industry. It covers the internet, local and global digital networking, and mobile communication systems for tomorrow's broadband-interactive information highways. The program also offers electives that prepare the student to obtain both Cisco Systems and Microsoft Industry certifications.
The degree provides graduates with skills in RF telecommunications, with specialisation in wireless secure communications; advanced level networking, with a strong emphasis in security; digital and analogue electronics; software programming; and mathematics. Detailed theoretical learning is coupled with extensive practical experience in various aspects of networking and signal analysis used in the telecommunications/networking field. A large range of electives is also available to suit individual interests.
This program aims to:
Develop in students a broad mastery of the basic science and engineering principles underlying telecommunications and internet technologies and an ability to apply that knowledge
Develop in students a thorough understanding of appropriate engineering methods and techniques - and competence in their application - so that students are able to comprehend and analyse problems and obtain satisfactory design solutions that, where appropriate, show originality and resourcefulness
Develop students' communication skills so that they can present their ideas clearly by verbal, written and graphic means both within the engineering community and the community at large
Give students an appropriate introduction to the role of the professional engineer in the community and to explore the social effects of engineering decisions
Develop the moral, social, aesthetic, environmental and ethical concepts essential to a satisfying personal philosophy and a sound professional attitude
Develop abilities to function effectively as an individual and in project teams, whether as manager, leader or team member
Prepare students for the changing workplace and the changing societal context of engineering by developing their life-long learning skills and flexibility of mind
# Students who have not completed an approved Cisco Networking Academy Program (CNAP) must do HET104 and HET424.
Note: in addition to the above sequence, the successful completion of Professional Experience in Engineering (HED400) is required for the award of the degree. This unit can be taken at any stage of the program.
Swinburne offers International Exchange Programs as well as other Education Abroad Programs to help internationalise your degree. International Exchange is an academic program allowing you to study at a Swinburne Partner Institution for one or two semesters during your degree. Swinburne's Partner Institutions offer many relevant subjects as well as a secure base to explore a different culture. Your studies whilst on exchange can be credited towards your Swinburne degree, provided they are relevant and approved by Swinburne. For further information visit the Swinburne Abroad website
Graduates will find rewarding high-tech careers in the converging telecommunications, multimedia, computing, and internet 'information technology' industries. They may become an internet applications engineer, a telecommunications link designer, an embedded computing systems designer, an embedded software systems designer, a network switching and protocol designer, an analyst/designer/manager of internal corporate multimedia networks, or a network administrator/webmaster.
A range of scholarships are available to local (Sarawakian, Sabahan
& West Malaysian) and International students either at commencement
or on the continuation of a program.
