DEGREE STRUCTURE
The first two years of this program establish a deeper understanding of mathematics, physics and computer programming. They also cover the basic principles of themes that will be developed throughout the program: digital and embedded systems, electronic circuits and signals, electrical systems, and professional practice and systems engineering. This common foundation means that all graduates have the opportunity to work in many specialist areas, and are prepared with lifelong learning skills so that they are able to change specialisations over the course of their careers.
At the end of the second year, students have the opportunity to select a major from a wide range of topics. A major is a great way to specialise and pursue topics of interest without narrowing future options. All graduates—irrespective of major—qualify as electrical and electronic engineers and can pursue a career in any specialist field within the profession. Majors are available in Communication Systems, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Defence Systems, Medical Technologies, Renewable Energy, and Smart Technologies.
Completion of a minor introduces students to an aligned field where there technical knowledge can be applied. This allows students to explore career opportunities in these areas. Minors are available in Entrepreneurship and Humanitarian engineering.
Students are required to complete eight weeks of approved practical experience.
