COURSE DESCRIPTION
Are you ready to find better ways to power the modern world? In this degree, you’ll learn the processes behind the production and distribution of electricity.
Electrical engineering at RMIT is about more than just learning the theories behind the discipline, it’s about being able to put those theories into practice in order to solve problems. You’ll learn the skills necessary to make useful products and provide quality services by spending time on experiments in laboratory classes and designing projects.
You’ll learn to design, develop and supervise the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. You’ll also work on systems for the generation, distribution, utilisation, and control of electric power and electronic systems used for a variety of domestic and industrial applications.
You’ll develop high-level technical and design skills and focus on a specialist area such as energy conversion, power systems or high-voltage equipment.
You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge – a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.
To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.
Why study electrical engineering at RMIT?
RMIT University is ranked in the top 100 universities in the world for engineering (electrical and electronic). Studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours) at RMIT offers the following benefits:
Prepare yourself for employment
With the opportunity to undertake industry placements either locally or internationally, you’ll be work-ready when you graduate. There are also opportunities to tackle research projects in partnership with industry, like the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.
Industry-relevant experience
You will have a number of opportunities for industry interaction during your studies including work placements and industry-based projects. Our teachers are experienced practitioners and we collaborate closely with industry to ensure our electrical engineering degree meets the needs of the workplace.
A globally accredited qualification
Career
Electrical engineers work on the systems for the generation, distribution, utilisation and control of electric power systems. They drive the transition to alternative and renewable energy sources.
After graduating you may work in areas of industry such as:
power generation and distribution
mining and resources
industrial systems design
consumer product design
process control industries
electrified transportation
manufacturing
automotive
defence
Work opportunities are available in Australia and overseas, designing and supervising projects to implement new technologies in small and large organisations.
The leadership skills you learn from project work will also help prepare you for management roles.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Since its establishment in 1887, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT) has been meeting the needs of the community surrounding it. Originally a Working Men’s College, RMIT showed its flexibility during World War Two, training over 20,000 servicemen in communications to help with the war effort.Now, it is a true pioneer in international education, championing cross-border study opportunities with campuses in various countries. Granted formal university status in 1992, RMIT is ranked 21st in the world for universities that are less than 50 years old.RMIT is the largest higher education institution in Australia, currently with more than 82,000 students. With nearly 20% of those students coming from overseas, it is a university that truly welcomes diversity and is a melting pot of different cultures. RMIT has three campuses in Vietnam, a European hub in Barcelona, an office in Indonesia, and partners with 200+ institutions in 42 countries to provide study opportunities worldwide.
