This program embraces both electrical and electronic engineering and provides graduates with a wide range of fundamental scientific knowledge relevant to electrical and electronic engineering. An emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates will be able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerge in the future. The first two years of this degree provide a solid foundation in electronics, physics, mathematics and computer programming. This background means that 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. All Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their disciplines, majors. Students can choose a major in Communication Systems, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, Defence Systems, Medical Technologies, Smart Technologies and Renewable Energy, as well as a choice of minors in Humanitarian and Entrepreneurship. Beginning in the second year of the degree, the focus shifts towards learning new and more advanced electrical and electronics technologies. In the final year of the program, students can specialise in a particular area by studying advanced courses and by completing a capstone project that further develop research, technical and professional skills.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic) is an AQF Level 08 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 4 years. This program is accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
