ECU has introduced two new computing courses, Bachelor of Computer Science and the Bachelor of Information Technology, in an attempt to help curb a newly recognised shortage of professionals in the Australian IT sector.
 This move supports the Australian Computer Society's (ACS) aim of reversing a looming skills shortage in the sector which it reports is suffering from a loss of experienced professionals, a declining interest from tertiary students, a low female participation rate and an aging workforce.
The Bachelor of Computer Science aims to give students a solid grounding in both current and emerging areas of computing and the Bachelor of Information Technology builds on a firm basis of fundamental concepts to prepare students for careers in the Information Technology, Mobile Computing and Computer Security industries.
 Both degrees allow students the opportunity to enhance their employability by undertaking supporting studies in areas such as Internetworking (CCNP), Network Administration and Design (MCSE), Computer Science and Records Management.
For more information on these courses, contact the Student Support Officer on (61 8) 9370 6299, email scis.info@ecu.edu.au or visit www.scis.ecu.edu.au/future/courses/Undergraduate/index.aspx. |

Aaron Rajamoney admits embarking on University study was daunting at first, but looking back he says his course taught him some vital skills.
 “I now have some fundamental skills that I would not have obtained anywhere else,” he says.
“Some of those skills include multi-tasking, organisation, administration and the ability to work under pressure.
“I found my course to be very hands on, exciting and fun, particularly in the final years.”
With a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Advertising and Film & Video, Aaron is employed as a Traffic and Production Administrator with an advertising agency called, Bowtell Clarke and Yole .
He says his goal is to gain as much experience in advertising as possible, and expand his career when opportunities arise.
