Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Information Technology

Charles Darwin University

About

This combined degree course enables students to undertake extensive study in the theoretical, design and implementation aspects of engineering and information technology.

This course is designed for those wanting career opportunities in the design and manufacture of electrical and electronic products, machines and processes, development of sustainable forms of energy, software and hardware design, networking and systems, web development and IT management.

The information technology course includes specialisations in business-oriented, information systems to network engineering and systems and the creative areas of web and software development.

Students develop an understanding of the underlying principles and applications of IT, which will enable them to adapt to future changes in the field as professionals.

This course recognises the importance that employers place on people skills and management processes, therefore students will also learn to be problem solvers, decision makers, good communicators and team players.

Career opportunities exist in the areas of information systems and management, web design and development, networking, application development and systems.

Study opportunities are also provided to assist students to undertake sought-after industry qualifications, including Cisco and Microsoft certifications.

Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Information Technology.
