Clarifying BH073 vs BH075 for all
Hey everyone, I'm sure you've seen me around in the subreddit.
Due to multiple posts, comments over the past few months (years, even!), I thought I'd just put this information out there once and for all regarding these two degrees in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering - just my experienced view as a final year student.
(Mainly for u/MelbPTUser2024 and his benefit of not needing to ping me everywhere!)
BH073 is the Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours).
It has two majors to choose from, of which you pick either:
=> Major in Computer Systems and Network Engineering
=> Major in Electronic and Communication Engineering
This has a very wide range, spanning across (for the most part), electronics, embedded systems, telecommunications, networks and cloud infrastructure.
This indicatively, has some overlap with some computer science of sorts (but not in the same way).
BH075 is the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours). It has no major selection, but a very common minor selection is the Minor in Intelligent Power and Control.
What I will say is that BH075 is infinitely more employable and flexible - as it covers all other subcategories of the wider EE branch in its foundational years (e.g. electronics, some embedded systems and signal processing).
BH073 is a bit of a gamble, as you're placing all your bets and you can't back out per se. BH075 gives you the option to move across sectors as you wish, as industries like embedded systems, telecoms and networks can be achievable via self-learning.
While you're welcome to take BH073 - I genuinely believe if you absolutely had to, the Major in Electronic and Communication Engineering is much better as it is the closest to BH075's relevant "proper" engineering content.
Happy to discuss further in the comments, I'll be happy to clarify to any students wondering what I mean with this info in mind!
