ENGINEERING
This course is a unique blend of electronics , computer systems , electrical power and telecommunications engineering .
Electrical and computer systems engineering is an extremely diverse field , encompassing biomedical , computer systems , electronics , electrical power , AI , robotics and telecommunications . As an electrical and computer systems engineer , you ’ ll develop next-generation communication technologies , electronic sensors and devices , and smart solutions for various industries .
At Monash , you ’ re not limited to your core subjects . You can broaden your skill set in other exciting areas such as programming , artificial intelligence and machine learning . This will complement your third-year capstone unit where you ’ ll design and build a robot by integrating your knowledge in electronics , electro-mechanical systems , and microcontroller programming .
Course highlights
• A multifaceted degree unlike any other in Malaysia .
• Your research and final-year projects will be supported through four specialised labs where you can focus on deep learning , Internet of things , intelligent lighting , and micro and nano devices .
Career paths
You could work in a wide range of industries , including :
• power generation
• industrial and power electronics
• automation systems
• computer systems
• robotics
• healthcare
• telecommunications
• software engineering
• semiconductor technology
• technology consultancy .
Mechanical engineering is about the efficient use of energy in the design and function of all types of mechanisms , from the simplest to the most complex .
It covers the generation , conversion , transmission and use of mechanical and thermal energy , and includes the design , construction and operation of devices and systems . Growth industries include advanced manufacturing , smart buildings , renewable energy , medical engineering and consulting practice .
Mechanical engineers are increasingly engaged in the design and operation of devices that require skills that cross traditional discipline boundaries . You might design automatic control systems , or create efficiently heated and cooled buildings . You could manage the water supply for a whole state , take charge of the operation of a smart building , design wind turbines or highly efficient , low-cost products for the developing world .
You might be called on to optimise the aerodynamics of trucks and trains , work with the medical profession to create robots that can operate with greater precision than a human , or be at the cutting edge of advanced manufacturing using 3D printers to create aircraft parts with elegance and function .
Course highlight
• Complement your studies by participating in external design competitions for a greater learning experience .
Career paths
Graduates would be able to deploy their skills in a wide range of industries , including :
• research and development
• product and process design
• technical sales and support
• manufacturing
• field and test engineering
• project management
• systems design
• power plant operations and quality control .
I ’ ve been in the railway industry for five years , and my Monash degree helps me to stand out among my peers because of my exposure to a variety of subjects such as power systems , telecommunications and signalling . It made my knowledge very relevant to today ’ s needs .”
