Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
Abbreviated title BE
Duration 4 years
Campus Clayton or Malaysia
Double degrees Arts, Biomedical Science, Commerce, Law, Science
Electrical and computer systems engineers turn ideas into reality.
This diverse and rapidly evolving field patents new technologies and techniques every day.
You might design and develop digital products such as laptops, virtual reality systems or video games. You might develop tools to repair diseased organs such as prosthetic and cochlear implants. Or maybe you will design and program voice recognition systems with improved human intelligence.
Whatever your path, Monash Engineering will give you the hands-on training and theoretical insight you need for an exciting future as an electrical and computer systems engineer.
What is electrical and computer systems engineering?
Electrical and computer systems engineering encompasses biomedical, computer systems, electronics, electrical power engineering, robotics and telecommunications.
Electrical and computer systems engineering spans all aspects of electrical and electronic engineering, including:
- The fundamentals of circuits
- Electronic signals and signal processing
- Digital electronics and systems on a chip
- The design of large scale power and telecommunications systems.

What do electrical and computer systems engineers do?
Electrical and computer systems engineers investigate, plan, design, develop, construct, test, market and maintain a wide range of products and systems.
This branch of engineering covers many specialist roles:
- Automation and control engineers design, build and operate the automatic systems that control our water supply, chemical plants, oil refineries, medical equipment, factories, mines and traffic control systems.
- Biomedical engineers develop new tools to diagnose disease and repair or replace organs such as pacemakers, cochlear implants, medical imaging, prosthetic implants and life support systems.
- Computer systems engineers analyse, design, develop, and manufacture all kinds of digital products. Examples include laptops, personal computers, mainframes, supercomputers, virtual-reality systems, video games, modems, cars, and appliances.
- Electronics engineers design, develop, and manufacture computers, integrated circuits, navigation systems, pollution monitoring instruments and broadcasting equipment.
- Power generation and distribution engineers provide a reliable and safe electricity supply network for our everyday needs. They design power systems for aircraft and spacecraft and design and build solar panels and wind-powered generators.
- Robotics engineers design and program systems that perform functions associated with human intelligence such as voice recognition.
- Telecommunications, communications and signal processing engineers design systems and equipment to make information transmission systems faster, more accurate, more reliable
and efficient.
Careers in electrical and computer systems engineering
As an electrical and computer systems engineer you could work locally or internationally in a wide range of industries including:
- Power generation
- Industrial and power electronics
- Automation systems
- Computer programming
- Robotics
- Health care
- Water and energy.
Many Monash graduates also work in large public and private telecommunications, manufacturing and electrical power companies. Others work for defence and intelligence organisations.
You will also be prepared for careers in other industries such as online ticketing, banking and finance - or any organisation that needs to create, store, encode and transmit data or manage complex systems.
