There is hardly any aspect of modern civilisation that is not dependent upon electrical energy. Electrical Engineers consider generation, transmission and generation of electricity, as well as the harnessing of sources of renewable and sustainable energy. Electronic Engineers undertake the design and application of modern digital, electronic and communication systems.
In this specialisation Electrical and Electronic Engineering is considered together as the combination reflects the convergence of these fields as society seeks more efficient, safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly solutions to engineering problems.
This specialisation in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of intelligent devices that have embedded computers. The electronics and communication fields represent two of the fastest growing technology areas in the world. With the rapid progress of information technology, the role of communications is becoming even more crucial for increasing industry efficiency and competition. Electrical Power Engineers consider generation, transmission and generation of electricity, as well as the harnessing of sources of renewable and sustainable energy. Electronic Engineers undertake the design and application of modern digital, electronic and communication systems.
Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical Engineering – Embedded Systems Engineering), Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical Engineering – Emerging Power Systems Engineering), Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical Engineering – Telecommunications and Networking Engineering).
