Overview

In the first year of Associate Degree, you'll learn fundamental principles of engineering that apply across different areas of engineering. In the second year, you will major in Electrical and Electronics Engineering where you will undertake major-specific courses and complete a capstone project. You will gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills to design, install, maintain, analyse and improve a range of devices, systems and infrastructures. 

In the Bachelor you’ll gain an understanding of the processes behind the production and distribution of electricity to find better ways to utilise electrical power and meet the demands of modern living. You’ll focus on a specialist area such as energy conversion, power systems, renewable energy, process control and automation or high-voltage equipment. You’ll learn to do this by spending time on experiments in laboratory classes and designing projects.
