A computer engineer requires knowledge and skills in; the installation, testing, fault-finding and repair of computers and peripherals; the adjustment of equipment to keep it within specification; understanding the interaction between hardware and software in computer systems and using diagnostics.

bullet

The computer engineer is part of a team. S/he is responsible for maintaining computer systems in working order, and must be able to relate to managers, programs, systems analysts, operators and equipment suppliers. Good communications and customer relation skills are required.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

Most computer engineers are employed by companies who supply computer hardware or act as third party maintenance organisations. They may be responsible for equipment on several sites and a significant amount of travel and call-out work could be involved. Some larger computer users employ computer engineers who are responsible for their own sites.

Program

Two years full time study (each of 36 weeks), A Diploma in Computer Engineering is awarded on successful completion of the 2 year program.

Program

Introductory Electronics (Electronics Intermediate) is the first year of study for the following Programs
