COURSE DESCRIPTION
Creativity + science + problem solving = electrical engineering.
What is electrical and electronic engineering Electrical and electronic engineers design and build systems and machines that automate, control, generate, transmit, measure, and use electrical energy essential to modern life.
At the University of Newcastle we train electrical engineers capable of solving the greatest global electronic challenges. With a Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours), you could work with power systems, renewable energy technologies, industrial electronics, robotics, control and automation systems, Industry 4.0, or telecommunication systems.
You might develop precision agriculture technology to increase food production efficiency and even build smart grid systems to help manage alternative energy resources. Opportunities exist in the development of electric vehicle drives for air, land and sea as well as their respective control systems. Or, follow in the footsteps of our team of researchers and develop life-changing medical technology – like the artificial pancreas.
Course overview
Tackle real-world challenges through professional practice courses and diversify your skills through four elective pathway courses.
You will build critical technical and engineering skills in:
Electrical machines, power systems and renewables
Control systems and signal processing
Communications systems and internet of things
Electrical and electronic engineering design
Embedded computing and procedural programming
Career opportunities
Electrical and electronic engineers work in a wide range of industries. Roles are flexible and diverse. You may prefer hands-on fieldwork or design and development. Or you might prefer a leadership role managing people and projects.
Electrical engineers are employed in utilities, industry, manufacturing, transportation, consulting services and electronic design and development. Graduates might focus on electronics engineering. Or, they might specialise in automation and control engineering, robotic engineering, or power generation and distribution. Professional outcomes:
Telecommunications Equipment Engineer
Electrical Design Engineer
Automatic Control Systems Engineer
Robotics Engineer
Biomedical Instrumentation Engineer
Renewable Energy Systems Engineer
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The University of Newcastle, Australia is a world-class university. Excellence in teaching, research, and the student experience are our focus.
