You will tackle complex real-world problems with technical and creative skills.

Our past students have worked on capstone project such as:

  • Mobile Communication - Handover scheme in Vehicle Network
  • Home Automation - Wi-Fi-based Home Automation System
  • Telecommunication - Implementation of Machine Learning Algorithms to optimise Mobile Tower Management
  • Farming - Development of an app to inform farmers of the stress level in plants using IOT devices
  • Farming - Creating an IoT sensor network to aid farmers on the correct irrigation need for the farmland for maximum yield
  • Environment - Creating an IoT device-based sensor network to monitor the water level in rivers and logging the information
  • Retirement Homes - Creating a Voice enabled IoT network to aid elderly to control the home appliances
  • Human Resources - Classification and sorting of CV through Machine Learning

Industry Experience

It is mandatory for awarding of the degree that the students undertake Industry Experience of eight weeks (full-time) or 16 weeks (half-time). If a third party is required to find the placement for the student, it will incur a fee (currently up to $1094.50) which the student is responsible for. This industry experience is designed to meet Engineers Australia accreditation requirements.
