Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours)/Master of Engineering Management

The electrical and electronic engineering component of this course is a comprehensive, accredited degree providing both a theoretical and a practical basis of electrical and electronic systems, and allows you to specialise in one of four areas; electrical engineering, electronic engineering, computer and network systems or systems and security. The engineering management component combines the problem-solving and technical design ability of engineering with executive organisational skills and the planning power of business and management. You can choose from 3 majors: Advanced Electrical Engineering, Advanced Electronic Engineering, and Electronic Systems and Security, you will develop both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to design and build electrical and electronic systems and devices at our world-class facilities in the technology precinct at Tonsley. This degree is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.

This double degree has been designed to provide a strong understanding of both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering, particularly those relevant to the systematic development of electrical and electronic engineering systems combining the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and other STEM disciplines with the organisational, administrative, and planning abilities of business and management disciplines.

Students complete core (compulsory) topics that include either a major or minor research project, and option topics chosen from a range of option topics available. These topics aim to provide students the ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve complex engineering management problems, preparing them for future roles as engineering managers. This degree includes structured engineering work experience and the ability to undertake a substantial research-oriented projects.

On completion of the Honours year, and subject to meeting minimum academic requirements, students will progress to the Masters component of the double degree where students will be provided with advanced-level theoretical aspects and the practical skills of professional engineering management that builds on a student's previous knowledge and experience.

The double degree aims to prepare graduates for a career as a professional engineer and have the skills and knowledge to manage complex electrical and electronic engineering enterprises.
