Computer Engineering (Electrical)
Computer Engineering
The Computer Engineering specialisation explores the areas of advanced computer systems, computer networking, and software engineering, with further opportunities to undertake a wide range of other related topics including studies in artificial intelligence and integrated circuit design.
This specialisation builds on foundations in physics, mathematics, computer science and basic electrical engineering principles and also offers computer-based tutorials.
