Degree in Network Engineering 

Are you thinking about a career in network engineering? RMIT University in Melbourne Australia is now providing a Bachelor of Engineering in Network Engineering. This is Australia's first network engineering degree program where students will learn fundamental concepts and also study to complete CCNA and Microsoft industry qualifications.

In 2008 a Master of Engineering in Network Engineering will be available for people who wish to complete a coursework master of engineering program. The program will include study towards the CCNA and Microsoft industry qualifications.

Network Engineering is fast becoming one of the most important engineering disciplines and for people with good qualifications and experience it is a very rewarding career choice.

regards, Mark

Re: Degree in Network Engineering 
Dear Dr. Gregory,I'm one of your Network Engineering students. First of all, I'd like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to establish our first solid networking knowledge, and for providing such a good website.Secondly, since I joined the course this year, I noticed that the materials we've been taught somehow are similar to what TAFE courses provide!My question is what advantages I'll be getting after I graduate from this course ? And what are the differences between this Bachelor and any Diploma of computer systems ? To be more specific, what will be the difference between me and any other TAFE graduate ?Thanks

Re: Degree in Network Engineering 

Hi Khaled,

I think you are currently experiencing something noticed by others in the past. You are currently doing introductory network engineering courses in our program, and this would correspond to the material you covered towards the end of the TAFE program. This initial overlap is always a factor for students who articulate from a TAFE program to an undergraduate program. What you will possibly find as you move forward is the material in the undergraduate courses will develop and reach greater depth than what you reached during the TAFE program.

In this early stage (your first semester) if you find there is material you have already covered then your aim should be to achieve a high distinction, get into a study habit suitable for your undergraduate program and thereby set yourself up to achieve high marks for the remainder of the program. If you look at the school history and results we have not had students who have articulated achieve high overall results matching results achieved by the students who have completed the entire program. I hope you can change this situation and achieve a top 5% result. Possibly you could match one of the 6 students from our school who in the last 15 years have received the Universities prize for becoming the highest achieving graduate. This is something for you to aim for.

I think you will find the material includes more mathematics than you were exposed to in the TAFE and this is often an area of difficulty for those who articulate. I recommend you look at the year 1 and 2 mathematics and ensure you would have no difficulty with the previous exam papers and this will assist you in later courses.

I would like to think that the RMIT University TAFE engineering graduates are the best in Australia and that the RMIT University bachelor of engineering graduates are the best in the world! I hope you can achieve a significant result and further this claim.

regards, Mark
