B-CSYSNT v.2 Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking)
BTech(Curtin)
Course CRICOS Code: 041280C
Registered full-time Duration:
3 Years
Course Overview
Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications.
This course has been introduced to address a significant market demand for skills associated with the design of distributed computing environments and the networks that underpin them. It encompasses computer technology, in terms of both hardware and software, as well as computer communications and networking incorporating Local Area Networks (LANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) and Wide Area Networks (WANs) together with network management.
Career Opportunities
The choice of topics and structure of the course will enable graduates to compete successfully in the job market and satisfy the need for competent network and Information Technology managers.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.
Course Entry and Completion Details
Applicants for a Bachelor Degree are required to meet University academic and English language entry standards; details are provided at http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au and include flexible entry pathways. Any specific course entry and completion requirements must also be met.
Mathematics Applications (essential), Mathematics Methods (desirable). Stat is not accepted for mature age entry but may be used to demonstrate English Competence requirements.
Credit for Recognised Learning
Applications for credit towards a course are assessed on an individual basis. Credit reduces the amount of learning required to complete the course and may be granted for formal education qualifications, non-formal learning from non-award programs of study and informal learning through work experiences. Further information can be found at http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au.
Pathway to Further Study
Graduates may qualify for entry to a Bachelor Degree with Honours and some Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas and Master degrees. For further details, see the University website http://curtin.edu.au.
Course Entry/Completion Note
To satisfy requirements students must complete at least 8 weeks or equivalent of exposure to professional practice. This requirement can be met by appropriate work experience. Students must demonstrate that they have met these requirements by using a formal log book to record their professional experiences during the period of their degree study.
Course Organisation
Bachelor Degrees typically contain a series of units which may include compulsory (core), optional or elective units to cater for student preferences. They may contain a range of majors, streams and/or minors for students to choose from to pursue learning in a specialised area of study.
Course Learning Outcomes
A graduate of this course can:
1. apply the theory of computer systems networking within the engineering design method, whilst remaining cognisant of network operational issues
2. define a problem and apply creative thinking to the formulation of a solution; verify and implement the solution
3. access information, evaluate and organise information relevant to computer systems networking
4. document networking information to meet technical and legal requirements; communicate concepts and technical information to lay and professional personnel in written, oral and electronic forms
5. use appropriate tools to design, analyse and verify computer systems networks and their components
6. recognise that the computer systems networking industry changes rapidly, and maintain currency via a spirit of inquiry and relevant further study
7. apply international standards, practices and conventions appropriate to computer systems networking
8. function effectively within a typical multidisciplinary and multi-cultural engineering design team as a team member, manager or team leader, recognising individual human rights
9. commit to and behave in accordance with the professional and ethical responsibilities of engineers
