Program Overview

This course is designed for graduates from a four-year Engineering undergraduate degree not accredited by Engineers Australia in a related discipline.

The course is not suitable for graduates of a four-year undergraduate degree, with Engineers Australia accreditation in the same discipline. Those holding an EA accredited qualification and seeking a masters level qualification in the same discipline are encouraged to consider applying for entry to the Master of Philosophy or Master of Engineering Management.

What you'll learn

• Apply advanced and integrated knowledge and skills to design and lead the implementation of innovative solutions to complex engineering problems
• Incorporate cultural sensitivity and understanding, including that of local First Peoples, in decisions related to the design and implementation of solutions to engineering problems
• Recognise opportunities to lead the development and implementation of innovative engineering solutions to industry problems
• Apply advanced engineering skills and knowledge, sustainability frameworks, and ethical approaches to address issues of international relevance
• Develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems using an adaptive approach to technologies
• Develop and maintain professional networks and work ethically and responsibly to progress their career as a professional engineer

Major: Embedded Systems Engineering
This course is designed for graduates from a four-year Engineering undergraduate degree not accredited by Engineers Australia in a related discipline.
The course is not suitable for graduates of a four-year undergraduate degree, with Engineers Australia accreditation in the same discipline. Those holding an EA accredited qualification and seeking a masters level qualification in the same discipline are encouraged to consider applying for entry to the Master of Philosophy or Master of Engineering Management.

Applicants seeking entry who do not hold a four year Engineering degree are required to first complete the one-year Graduate Diploma in Professional Engineering.

Rapid advances in electronic communication, the ‘internet of things’, and renewable energy technologies offer abundant career opportunities in embedded systems engineering.

Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of intelligent devices that have embedded computers. Embedded systems are computers with specialised input or output devices that may or may not be programmed by the end user.

In this major, you will study intermediate and advanced topics in embedded systems, such as embedded systems in field-programmable gate arrays and embedded software engineering.

During the course, you will gain at least 12 weeks of exposure to engineering professional practice and keep a formal log book to record your experience. During your final-year project, you will further investigate and apply emergent technologies in embedded systems.
