About this course

Electrical and electronics engineering focuses on 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.

In the first year of study, you will learn about engineering and its various fields. From the second year, you can focus on your chosen major or you can extend your university time and complete a double major, such as combining electrical and electronics engineering major with the computer and autonomous systems engineering major.

From your second year onwards, you will study specialist subjects in electricity generation and distribution (including renewable energy), electrical power quality, machines and drives, power electronics, control systems, and automation.

You can also choose to specialise in any of the following sub-disciplines: control engineering, electronics engineering, and development of engineering systems, and power engineering.

Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities.

Our faculty's commitment to excellence is internationally recognised, as evidenced by the consistent ranking of many of our engineering courses among the top 150 universities worldwide.
