Stage2 - Diploma of Engineering - Engineering, leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Program Overview

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.


Stage2 - Diploma of Engineering
Engineers can find themselves working in many different disciplines and environments, from overseeing maintenance operations to designing and building engineered solutions, the range of career options is vast, varied and challenging.

The Diploma of Engineering offers students an industry-connected experience, uniquely placed to provide solutions to the challenges faced by the global community. Curtin College will provide you with the skills and knowledge to enable you to commence the academic studies you will need for your career in engineering.


Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering
Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to provide solutions to complex societal challenges and improve the quality of life for people all around the world.


Major: Electrical and Computer Engineering

Advances in electronic communication, the Internet of Things (IoT) and renewable energy are increasing the diversity of career opportunities in electrical and computer engineering.

In this course, you will gain a thorough understanding of the concepts that underpin electrical and computer engineering. You'll then choose to specialise in one of three areas: Electronics and Communications, Power Systems or Embedded Systems.

In your final year, you’ll complete a major research or design project and 12 weeks of professional practice.

  • Power Systems

As the use of fossil fuels reduces, we must harness alternative sources of electrical energy, such as solar and wind.

This specialisation will help you address the challenges in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. It covers topics such as smart grids, distribution systems and the integration of renewable energy.

  • Electronics and Communications

Throughout society, the demand is growing for intelligent transportation systems, broadband access, remote operations and tactile internet – the next evolution of IoT.

This specialisation will help you address the challenges of telecommunication systems, to enable fast and reliable communication anywhere, anytime.

  • Embedded Systems

Our world is increasingly characterised by intelligent devices containing embedded systems that enable a computer to control, monitor and provide sophisticated functionality to another computer.

In this specialisation, you will learn the theoretical and practical aspects of embedded systems, sensors and electronic design.


What you'll learn

  • Develop and apply fundamental theoretical and technical knowledge to identify and provide solutions to complex problems in an engineering discipline
  • Demonstrate development of advanced knowledge and understanding in an engineering discipline
  • Apply knowledge using realistic, practical and analytical approaches to problem-solving, design and research
  • Communicate effectively with a variety of audiences through the development of appropriate plans and reports
  • Identify and use suitable technologies to plan and execute project work and/or a piece of research and scholarship with some intellectual independence
  • Demonstrate self-discipline, self-management skills, personal responsibility and the ability to set learning and achievement goals
  • Work effectively in teams with global, international and environmentally responsible perspectives
  • Recognise the impact of cultural diversity in the implementation engineering works of projects
  • Demonstrate leadership, professional behaviour and ethical practice in the context of engineering projects.
