Second Year

Mathematics options (Only applicable to students who started their degree before 2008)

Students who have completed the first year Mathematics subjects 620-141 Mathematics A and 620-143 Applied Mathematics may replace both of 431-201 Engineering Analysis A and 431-202 Engineering Analysis B with all three of 620-142 Mathematics B, 620-231 Vector Analysis and 620-232 Mathematical Methods.

Student should check for subject availability with Department of Mathematics.

Fourth Year

The Electrical Engineering fourth year subjects available as electives are listed below. Students must ensure they have the pre-requisites as indicated in the University handbook, and that there are no timetable constraints.

Semester 1 Semester 2
431-451 Project Management and Product Commercialisation 431-466 RF and Microwave Optoelectronics
431-460 Digital Communications 431-467 Digital Systems 4: High Speed Systems
431-461 Signal Processing 2 431-465 Wireless Communications
431-462 Communication Networks  
431-481 Electronic Circuit Design 3 431-464 Control 2

300- and 400-level Computer Science subjects:

Semester 1 Semester 2
433-303 Artificial Intelligence 433-313 Computer Design
433-332 Operating Systems 433-353 Networks & Communications
433-341 Software Engineering Process and Practice 433-361 Programming Language Implementation
433-343 Professional Issues in Computing 433-371 Interactive Systems Design
433-351 Database Systems 433-380 Graphics and Computation
433-441 System Modelling and Analysis 433-444 Software Reliability and Testing
433-443 Software Project Management 433-471 Logic Programming
433-480 Computer Vision and Image Processing 433-476 Algorithms for Constrained Search Problems
433-49x Directed Study (Both semesters)   

Any of the 300-level Computer Science subjects may be chosen, but the choice would normally be made from Software Engineering Process and Practice, and Database Systems. Modern digital systems are so complex that often they are described in hardware description languages and compiled to hardware designs. Students interested in such compilers may enrol in 433-361 Programming Language Implementation. 433-303 Artificial Intelligence would also be of interest to those who have an interest in robotics, expert systems and artificial vision for industrial applications.
