311799 v.2 Computer Systems Engineering DD Major (BEng/BCom)

Introduction

Office and factory automation, computer aided design and manufacturing, robotics, machine learning, automatic control, information appliances, intelligent embedded and distributed systems, real time processing, computer architectures, hardware software co-design, computer communications, and the design and management of computer systems all fall within the field of computer systems engineering. As a consequence, the demand for graduates in these areas is far outstripping supply and career opportunities abound.
