Course Description - BE
in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering
Students in the BCSE, the BTE or any of the doubledegree courses (BSc/BE, BE/BA, BCom/BE, BE/LLB)
should refer to the appropriate Chapter of this booklet for
information specific to their degree. However, this
chapter does contains general advice relevant to all
Engineering degrees offered by the department.
In order to graduate with a BE in Electrical and
Computer Systems Engineering, you must fulfill each of
the following requirements:
 complete units which total 192 credit points (188
credit points if you commenced your degree prior to
1998),

complete units in compliance with the schedule,

complete those units within any continuous period of
eight years,

complete at least 12 weeks of related vacation work.
Students who first enrolled prior to 1998 will normally
complete their course under the pre-1998 Schedules and
Regulations. These students should plan their course in
consultation with the level coordinator.
4.1 Completion of Level 1
Students enrolling for the first time in Level 2 are
expected to have completed 48 credit points at Level 1, in
the following units:
Core Units
cp
ENG1101 4 Chemical engineering
ENG1201 4 Civil engineering
ENG1301 4 Electrical engineering
ENG1401 4 Mechanical engineering
ENG1501 4 Materials engineering
ENG1601 4 Engineering context
ENG1602 4 Engineering computing
ENG1603 4 Engineering systems
ENG1902 4 Engineering mathematics B
plus zero, 1 or 2 units (depending on VCE prerequisites)
selected from:
ENG1701 4 Chemistry A
ENG1801 4 Physics A
ENG1901 4 Engineering mathematics A
plus 1, 2 or 3 elective units (depending on VCE
prerequisites), of which at least one must be chosen
from Group 1:
Group 1:
ENG1702 4 Chemistry B
ENG1802 4 Physics B
Group 2:
CHE1120 4 Industrial chemistry
ENE1620 4 Environmental engineering
ENG1302 4 Engineering in medicine & biology
ENG1803 4 Physics C (see Note 2 below)
IND1332 4 Engineering Management
MEC1414 4 Engineering practices: drafting
MEC1415 4 Theory of flight
or
other approved elective
Note: ENG1803 Physics C is a prerequisite of
ECE2201 Electromagnetics, a core electrical unit. It is
therefore strongly recommended that ENG1803 be
taken as a Group-2 elective in first year.
4.1.1
QUOTA ON LEVEL-2 E&CS
ENGINEERING
In order to be accepted into Electrical and Computer
Systems Engineering at Level 2, you must have
completed the Level-1 units ENG1301 Electrical
engineering, ENG1602 Engineering computing and
ENG1902 Engineering mathematics A.
Unfortunately the supply of places in E&CS
Engineering is less than the expected demand. There is,
therefore, a quota on entry to our degree and, sadly, some
students will probably be turned away. For 2003, it is
expected that selection into the quota will be based on
passes in the 3 units listed above and an average mark of
at least 55 in all first-year units. In borderline cases,
extra weight may be given to ENG1301 Electrical
Engineering.
At the time of enrolment you will be accepted
immediately if you have passed the prerequisites and
have a good average. Otherwise, your name will be
placed on a waiting list and you will be advised at the end
of the enrolment period whether or not you have been
accepted.
4.2 First Enrolment in Level 2
For students accepted into Level 2 of the BE in E&CS
Engineering for the first time in semester 1, 2003, the
correct enrolment is:
1:
ECE2101 4 Signals and systems 1
ECE2401 4 Telecommunications
ECE2701 4 Digital logic
ECE2903 4 Physics of electronic devices
MAT2901 4 Multivariable calculus for engineering
either ENG1803 4 Physics C (if not taken in Level 1)
or
an approved elective unit worth 4cp.
SEMESTER 2:
ECE2201 4 Electromagnetics
ECE2501 4 Electrical energy conversion
ECE2601 4 Electronics and control 1
ECE2702 4 Computer organisation
ECE2904 4 Mechanics and thermodynamics
MAT2902 4 Linear algebra and differential
equations for engineering
SEMESTER
4.2.1
The Foundations of
E&CS Engineering
Level-2 studies in the E&CSE Department are based
around three key units:
ECE2101 Signals and systems 1,
ECE2201 Electromagnetics
ECE2701 Digital logic.
The importance of these units cannot be overemphasized. They provide the scientific basis for nearly
all later units in the course. In various combinations they
are prerequisites for computer, control, electronics, power
and telecommunications engineering. There really isn't
much that you can study at higher levels until you have
passed these key units. Make sure you understand them,
and pass!
4.2.1.1
Prerequisites and Corequisites
E&CS Engineering is a highly-sequential discipline,
with one unit building on another. Sequences may
involve 4 or more units, and a hierarchy of prerequisites
and corequisites must be enforced if students are to have
an adequate foundation to build upon. The course
structure is like an upside-down pyramid, standing on its
point: at the point would be Kirchhoff’s laws; the next
layer would contain concepts such as linearity and Ohm’s
law; and so on, upwards and outwards, each layer
building on the one below. When one layer is weak,
there is a high probability of collapse in the next.
 The prerequisites for any unit must all be passed
before that unit is attempted.

A corequisite must either be passed before the unit
concerned is attempted, or may be taken
concurrently with it.
4.2.1.2 ECE2101 — The Key to Success
If one of the Level-2 foundational units deserves
special mention, it is ECE2101 Signals and systems 1.
Circuit theory, the content of ECE2101, is the very
essence of electrical engineering, and ECE2101 is an
implied prerequisite for almost all later units in the
course. Past experience is that success in these later units
is highly correlated with success in ECE2101. You are
urged in the strongest possible terms to give this unit
your very best. A pass at 50% is really not an adequate
foundation to build upon, and is usually a precursor for
later failures. You should strive for a credit at the very
least. Above all, you should understand what this unit is
about — not memorize answers to past exam papers and
problem sheets.
4.2.2
OTHER COMPULSORY UNITS
The other compulsory units in Level 2 do not all have
to be passed (although this is highly desirable!) before
you can progress to later-level studies in E&CS
Engineering. Units in each level mutually support each
other; for example, failure in level-2 electromagnetics
and the consequent exclusion from level-3 field theory
and electrical power really does make it harder to pass
level-3 circuit theory and electronics.
Units ECE2401 Telecommunications, ECE2501
Electrical energy conversion, ECE2601 Electronics and
control 1, and ECE2702 Computer organisation are not
listed among the key units above, only because each has
relatively few direct dependents at Level 3. The units are
important, they are compulsory, and your options at
Level 3 will be restricted until you have passed them.
E&CS Engineering relies heavily on mathematics.
The level-2 mathematical units MAT2901 Multivariable
calculus for engineering and MAT2902 Linear algebra
and differential equations for engineering are
prerequisites for many level-3 units, and MAT2901 is
prerequisite for some level-2 electrical units. Desirably,
both mathematics units should be taken in the same
calendar year as the level-2 electrical units, with
MAT2901 being taken in Semester 1.
Many electrical units have a strong basis in physics.
ECE2903 Physics of electronic devices and ECE2904
Mechanics and thermodynamics support the level-2
electrical units and, like mathematics, should desirably be
taken in the calendar year with them. Physics is
prerequisite for all electronics units.
4.2.3
ELECTIVE UNITS
There is space in Level 2 for one elective unit,
provided ENG1803 has been passed in Level 1. The
choice must be approved in writing by the Level 2
Coordinator before you enrol in the unit, otherwise this
unit may not be credited towards your degree. You might
consider:

4.4.2
ELECTIVE UNITS
In addition, you must complete 28 credit points
selected from the elective units shown below (each unit is
worth 4cp).
Students may select a maximum of five electives from
a particular specialist unit group, where the group is
denoted by the second digit of the unit numbering.
Prerequisite, corequisite and prohibition requirements
must be met in order to enrol in an elective.
One of the elective units may, with written approval of
the Head of Department, be a unit chosen from elsewhere
in the University, where the unit does not substantially
duplicate material already studied. ENG4614 Schools
technology studies project may be taken only as the
nonstandard elective.
Note that some elective units may be cancelled if
insufficient students enrol; you should plan at least one
spare elective, in case this happens to one of your
preferences.

THESIS PROJECT
The Thesis project, ECE4909, normally runs
throughout the year, and is worth one quarter of your
level 4 assessment. As such, you should devote at least
12 hours/wk to the unit over the entire year. There are a
number of milestones along the way. These should assist
you in planning your project to ensure that satisfactory
progress is maintained through the year. Appendix E
describes the requirements in more detail and is essential
reading.
The prerequisite for any thesis project is that Level 3
should be “substantially complete”. This is interpreted
as:
 Level 1 and Level 2 complete,

plus at least 40 points which count towards the
degree from Level 3.
Students who intend to finish their degree at mid-year,
at the end of Semester 1, or who have a very light
workload in first semester and are able to devote
substantial effort to the project over the summer break,
may undertake a concentrated single-semester thesis,
ECE4910.12
Thesis project sem1
Due to the difficulty in completing a thesis in one
semester, the topic must be chosen by the end of the
preceding year and work must be commenced during the
long summer vacation.
4.5 Mixed-Level Enrolments
If you need to enrol in units from a mixture of levels,
then no detailed advice can be given, particularly with the
introduction of the new course. You must first consult
the Coordinator for the lowest-level unit in which you
wish to enrol.
In general you should aim for an enrolment that allows
you to progress along a sequence of units for which you
have passed the prerequisites. Go through the units as
listed in the Schedule (see Section 4.6), and check what
can be fitted into your timetable without clashes.
 You must discuss your choice of enrolment with a
Level Coordinator, as you need written permission
to vary a course from the Faculty’s published
Schedule.

You must adhere to prerequisites and corequisites.
No-one except the Level Coordinator for the level of
any unit has authority to waive prerequisites — don’t
waste time asking other staff members.

Notice that, although attendance at lectures is not
compulsory, attendance at laboratory classes in
Engineering is compulsory; a timetable clash is no
excuse for non-attendance or abbreviated attendance
at the laboratory. Repeat students will not be granted
laboratory exemption under any circumstances.
4.5.1
OVERWEIGHT COURSES
The normal load for an engineering student is 24 credit
points per semester.
When a student fails a unit, there is a temptation to go
overweight in a following semester, in an attempt to
“catch up” by repeating the unit without dropping
something else. The statistics are that this strategy
almost never succeeds; another unit is failed (often
several units), and the final situation is worse than the
first. If you have failed while taking a normal load, you
are more likely to fail under overload.
If you have failed one or two units, it is far better to go
underweight and add one semester to your course
duration. Work out how many credit points you need to
complete the course, divide by the number of semesters
remaining (including the one extra), and aim to distribute
all units (including the repeat) evenly. This advice is not
given lightly. The Department is mindful of the cost to
the student, in time, money and other hardships.
Nevertheless the advice is given, because it has proved to
be the best.
If you have failed more than two units, you should
consider adding a full year to the duration of your course.
4.5.2
STUDENTS COMMENCING PRIOR TO
1998
Students who first enrolled in Engineering in 1998 or
later are subject to the Schedules and Regulations of the
new course. However, students who enrolled prior to
1998 will normally complete their course under the
pre-1998 Schedules and Regulations. These students
should plan their course using the equivalence tables in
the 2002 Undergraduate Handbook (Blue Book) but you
must discuss your situation with your Level Coordinator.
Be cautioned that some of the old units, which you may
already have passed, carry fewer credit points than their
substitutes; they may not provide adequate preparation
for later-year units in the new course.
