Introduction
The Bachelor of Engineering in Network and Software Engineering is a comprehensive four-year
degree designed to meet the criteria for accreditation as a professional engineer with Engineers
Australia (EA). The course provides professional education in core areas of network and softwareengineering and concentrates on the development of analysis, network design, network security,programming skills, communication theory, and wireless communications and on the societal and
business context of network and software systems.
In their last two years, students acquire in-depth knowledge of network communications andsoftware engineering as well as a broad coverage of specialist technical subjects such as: network
operating systems, ubiquitous computing, real-time control, wireless communications, network
and computer security, web design and programming, large scale software systems, embeddedsystems and RFID technology. It is designed to enable students to commence tailoring the course
to suit their own needs after their second year. The course is completed with an industry-orientedengineering project.
Career prospects for Network Communications and Software Engineers are good, both in
Australia and overseas.
Learning Outcomes:

- develop a functional specification from an initial brief, evaluate the various design optionsavailable to meet a given set of specifications, formulate a final design specification, and
implement and test the preferred option;- determine which principles in the sciences and engineering are appropriate to use in the solution
of complex technological problems in the field of information engineering;- assess the impact of an engineering project on the social and physical environment;
- manage the human, physical and financial resources required to implement or maintain a
complex engineering project;
- transfer and enhance the knowledge and skills acquired during the course to new or complementary areas of engineering and technology through lifelong learning;- communicate effectively in oral and written form;
- design, implement and maintain large software systems, following contemporary software
engineering practices;- understand and participate in the processes of business analysis of systems;
- apply relevant theories and techniques to the analysis and solution of problems in informationtechnology;
- apply their particular engineering strengths to the design, construction and maintenance of hardware, software, and systems in all sizes of computer installations, from the large mainframe
and client-server systems encountered in the Commonwealth Public Service and its supporting
organisations, to embedded microprocessors dedicated to controlling a single appliance or process;
- apply their particular engineering strengths to the design, construction and maintenance of systems in network communications and software engineering, such as those encountered in the
Commonwealth Public Service, major telecommunications companies and national and
international standard electronics and electrical industry companies.

Requirements for degree with Honours
Honours degree programs are available to students who achieve good results [Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.00 or better) in the third year of their studies. Honours students then complete
additional work (an extension to the project) in their fourth year of study to qualify to graduate withthe degree with Honours. The degree with Honours will be awarded in the following classes
depending on the Grade Point Average obtained and other conditions as follows:
- First Class - GPA>6 in fourth-year subjects, High Distinction for the Engineering project,outstanding work in the Honours extension;
- Second Class Division 1 - GPA>5.5 in fourth-year subjects, Distinction for the project, excellentwork in the extension; and
- Third Class - Not awarded. Student takes out the pass degree.
