Course Description:
This course has been replaced by the Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) This course provides an in-depth understanding of the technology of the internet and the international telecommunications industry. It covers the Internet, local and global digital networking and mobile communication systems for tomorrow's broadband interactive information highways. This course is also offered through the Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship Program. Successful applicants are awarded HECS waiver scholarships and will be funded for the duration of their course.

Aims & Objectives:
This course aims to: To develop in students a broad mastery of the basic science and engineering principles underlying telecommunications and Internet technologies and an ability to apply that knowledge; To develop in students a thorough understanding of appropriate engineering methods and techniques, and competence in their application, so that students are able to comprehend and analyse problems and obtain satisfactory design solutions which, where appropriate, show originality and resourcefulness; To develop students' communication skills so that they can present their ideas clearly by verbal, written and graphic means both within the engineering community and the community at large; To give students an appropriate introduction to the role of the professional engineer in the community and to explore the social effects of engineering decisions; To develop the moral, social, aesthetic, environmental and ethical concepts essential to a satisfying personal philosophy and a sound professional attitude; To develop abilities to function effectively as an individual and in project teams, whether as manager, leader or team member; and To prepare students for the changing workplace and the changing societal context of engineering by developing their life-long learning skills and flexibility of mind.
Course Structure:
This course structure has been replaced by the Bachelor of Engineering (Telecommunication and Network Engineering) This course operates under a student workload model based on 100 credit points for a full-time academic year. One credit point is deemed to be equivalent to one hour of student work per week over a semester, whether in contact with staff or in private study. Four subjects will generally be taken each semester. The typical student's average weekly workload during semester is therefore expected to be fifty hours. Total student contact hours, including lectures, classes, tutorials, flexible learning and laboratory and field sessions will vary in different semesters. The following changes are to be introduced for new students beginning in semester 1, 2005. Transition arrangements for continuing students will exist. For further details please contact the Course Administrator, telephone (+61 3) 9214 5505 or e-mail info@ict.swin.edu.au. Students choose subjects from five Study Groups: Engineering (TIT) Core Studies Software Engineering (TIT) Studies Technical (TIT) Studies Specialist Technical (TIT) Studies Management and Business Studies According to the following rules, students complete at least 400 credit points made up of: 22 subjects in Engineering (TIT) Core Studies (275 credit points), 3 subjects chosen from Software Engineering (TIT) Studies (37.5 credit points), 2 subjects chosen from Technical (TIT) Studies (25 credit points), 2 subjects chosen from Specialist Technical (TIT) Studies (25 credit points), and 3 subjects chosen from Management and Business Studies (37.5 credit points). Electives Plus Sequences Electives plus sequences provide Swinburne degree students with options to broaden their career skills and strengthen their employability by selecting from units of study outside their degree discipline. Students undertaking this course can choose to study Electives Plus sequences of up to three units from one of the following themes: Effective Communication Establishing and Running a Business - pre 2009 Italian Language Practice and Culture - pre 2009 Enterprising Marketing - pre 2009 Multimedia: Web Development Information Orientation and Knowledge Management Undergraduate Research Skills Design: Process and Strategy Electives Plus sequence The Networked Economy Electives Plus sequences are available in all Swinburne degree programs subject to timetabling constraints, with the exception of double degree programs, specialist double major degrees, and where entry has been approved with advanced standing.
