COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course prepares you for a leadership role in the internationally fast-growing sectors of power engineering and energy. You’ll focus on technical areas of electrical engineering, including:
renewable energy
power electronic converter systems
high-voltage and protection systems
power transmission and distribution
building services
industry control and automation
You’ll gain leading-edge knowledge and skills in power engineering with effective business skills in communication, teamwork and management.
The sectors of smart grid technology and renewable energy are experiencing rapid growth. As a result, the field of power engineering has a strong employment market, offering a range of opportunities to electrical engineers. This courses is suitable for both electrical engineering graduates looking for specialist knowledge in the latest power engineering technologies, and graduates from other disciplines seeking a career change.
Career
With an increasing focus on renewable energy, electrical engineers are in a position to be part of the transformation of the Australian power industry from traditional fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
You may work in the electrical supply industry where your knowledge of transformers, motors and generators is needed across all areas of operations.
Public transport providers also need electrical engineers to develop and maintain the systems that keep trains running and signals operating. With a push to modernise railway infrastructure, engineers are in demand. Within the manufacturing industry robots and automation have become essential elements, and electrical engineers are now called on to design and develop the next-generation control systems that enable this.
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.
