Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Program Overview

Electrical and Electronics Engineering focuses on electrical and electronic devices and systems, computer systems, telecommunications, control and electrical power engineering. Electrical engineers play a vital role in renewable energy generation, heavy industry and manufacturing installations, robotics and automation, mining and electrical power distribution.

Electrical engineers are highly sought after for their expertise in the development and application of sustainable electrical and electronic systems across a wide range of sectors.

This Degree
You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before deciding which discipline to study. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids. You then focus on your chosen major study from second year.

Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.

Engineers work in a variety of industries, for example: construction, mining, resources, aeronautical, electronics, engineering management, telecommunications, power generation and distribution, renewable energy, aerospace, water resource management, robotics and manufacturing, railroad and shipbuilding.

What you will study
In the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electrical and Electronics Engineering you will study subjects that will give you the specialist knowledge you need to move into the industry including:

  • Electricity generation and distribution (including renewable energy)
  • Electrical power quality
  • Machines and drives
  • Power electronics
  • Control systems
  • Automation

You can choose to specialise in any of the following sub-disciplines:

  • Control Engineering ' focuses on integrated sensors and control systems
  • Electronics Engineering ' focuses on semi-conductors and electronic components in the design and development of engineering systems
  • Power Engineering ' dealing with the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.

From second year you also have the option to complete a double major, combining two engineering disciplines. Available double major combinations include:

  • Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Computer and Autonomous Systems Engineering
  • Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering and Internet of Things
