OVERVIEW QUT's Faculty of Information Technology is one of the leading providers of information technology courses in Australia. The Faculty is also well known internationally for research excellence in six key areas:

� Business Process Management � Complex and Smart Systems � eResearch � Information Research � IT Professional Services � Security and Trust.

The Faculty is located at QUT's inner-city Gardens Point campus and also offers courses at the University's north campus in Brisbane—Carseldine.

The Faculty comprises two schools:

� School of Information Systems � School of Software Engineering and Data Com-

munications.

QUT benefits from close linkages with industry in our education and research activities. Industry representa-tives actively contribute to the development and continual refinement of our course offerings, collaborate on multiple research projects with the University, and utilise our ex-pertise through consulting engagements. The Faculty of Information Technology coordinates a very successful student internship program—the Cooperative Education Program—with its industry and government partners. This program offers high achieving IT students the option of completing 10-12 months paid professional experience in the workforce.

The Faculty has almost 3000 students, with a third being international students from some 54 countries. Our courses are geared to develop graduates who can face today's challenges and also tackle an unimagined future with confidence and innovation.

Students are attracted to QUT's focus on real-world ex-perience which involves practical teaching in addition to leadership in applied research that directly benefits indus-try and the professions. Our lecturers are real-world pro-fessionals with years of relevant experience in a variety of industry sectors.

The Faculty draws on the talents of academic staff from diverse backgrounds allowing a dynamic exchange of culture, knowledge and expertise.

RESEARCH CENTRE Information Security Institute (ISI)

QUT's Information Security Institute (ISI) is a multi-disciplinary institute that builds real solutions for govern-ment, business and the community by undertaking re-search in technology, legal, policy and governance issues related to information security.

Page 4: Faculty of Information Technology - QUT · ing (BEE), the Faculty of Business (BUS), the Faculty of Information Technology (IT), and the Faculty of Law (LAW). The ISI is a dynamic

ISI has been formed as a collaborative research under-taking of the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineer-ing (BEE), the Faculty of Business (BUS), the Faculty of Information Technology (IT), and the Faculty of Law (LAW). The ISI is a dynamic research facility that inte-grates the research of the four founding faculties to an-swer information security, information protection and technology policy challenges that confront business, gov-ernment and the community as a whole. The creation of the ISI consolidates the already acknowledged expertise that QUT has developed in all aspects of information se-curity over the last 15 years, through the Information Se-curity Research Centre (ISRC).

This multi-disciplinary approach provides QUT with an opportunity to play a leading role in research in the area of Safeguarding Australia which has been identified by the Australian Research Council as one of the key areas of applied research for Australia.

Career OpportunitiesThe course prepares you for an increasing range of careersthat involve the application of information technology toscience. As a graduate of the double degree, you are alsoqualif ied for employment in the areas of softwareengineering and data communications.

The Bachelor of Applied Science allows multi-disciplinaryprograms of study to help position you within the broadrange of science disciplines and qualify you as a competentprofessional within your chosen field.

Recommended studyAt least one of the sciences. For the majors in biochemistry,biotechnology, forensic science and microbiology -Biological Science and Chemistry are recommended; for themajor in physics - Maths C is recommended.

Course DesignThe science component of the course offers you a choice ofone of the major areas of study available in the Bachelor ofApplied Science (SC01) course. To allow you to completethe double degree in a shorter period of time, your co-majorwill be taken from the information technology programtherefore it is not possible to choose any of the co-majorslisted under the Bachelor of Applied Science course.

The information technology component gives you theopportunity to undertake a combined major in DataCommunications and Software Engineering. Theoreticalaspects are balanced by strong practical components inboth of the Science and Information Technology degrees.

Professional RecognitionGraduates will satisfy the requirements for membership inthe relevant professional body for their chosen sciencemajor. See the Bachelor of Applied Science (SC01) coursefor details. Graduates are also eligible for membership ofthe Australian Computer Society (ACS).

Cooperative Education ProgramAn optional one-year period of paid work experience in anarea of information technology is available to eligible full-time students. The Cooperative Education Program is a jointventure between employers and educators to better preparestudents for employment upon graduation. Companies thatQUT's Cooperative Education students have worked withinclude Energex, Boeing, CITEC, Global Banking andSecurities Transaction, various Queensland Governmentdepartments, Dialog, TABQ, RACQ and Sun Microsystems.

Recommended StudyChemistry, Maths C and Physics

Career outcomesSoftware Engineers create, maintain and modify computerand software programs such as operating systems orcommunications software. They may also evaluate anddeploy new programming tools and techniques and analysecurrent software products. You may work in a range ofoccupational environments. Software engineers can work inEngineering/IT-specific industries, as well as in otherorganisations requiring software engineering expertise.

OverviewThe course is a collaborative program between theFaculties of Built Environment & Engineering andInformation Technology which provides students with theelectrical engineering and software development skills toseek employment as software engineers. The engineeringcomponent consists of studies in electronic systemsengineering while the information technology componentconcentrates on software engineering. These studiesintegrate into a cohesive course which gives a wide andadvanced study of modern electronic and computingsystems. This degree produces computer and electronicengineers especially suited for the development andapplication of electronic systems, including micro, mini andmainframe computer systems in all areas of industry.

Professional RecognitionProfessional accreditation from Engineers Australia and theAustralian Computer Society is being sought.

Special course requirementsStudents are required to complete 60 days approvedindustrial experience.

Professional RecognitionGraduates will satisfy the requirements for membership inthe relevant professional body for their chosen sciencemajor. See the Bachelor of Applied Science (SC01) coursefor details. Graduates are also eligible for membership ofthe Australian Computer Society (ACS).

Course DesignThe science component of the course offers students achoice of one of nine majors: Biochemistry, Biotechnology,Chemistry, Ecology, Environmental Science, ForensicScience, Geoscience, Microbiology and Physics. See theBachelor of Applied Science (SC01) course information formore details. So that students can complete the doubledegree in a shorter period of time, co-majors are to be takenfrom the information technology program.

The information technology component gives students theopportunity to undertake a combined major in DataCommunications and Software Engineering. Theoreticalaspects are balanced by strong practical components inboth of the science and information technology degrees.

Cooperative Education ProgramAn optional one-year period of paid work experience in anarea of information technology is available to eligible full-time students. The Cooperative Education Program is a jointventure between employers and educators to better preparestudents for employment upon graduation. Companies thatQUT's Cooperative Education students have worked withinclude Energex, Boeing, CITEC, Global Banking andSecurities Transaction, various Queensland Government

departments, Dialog, TABQ, RACQ and Sun Microsystems.
