Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Honours)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Honours) has been designed to give students a strong foundation in the systematic development of electrical systems, such as renewable power generation and motors. Electrical engineering is concerned with large scale electrical systems such as power supply, renewable power generation and motors. Students will be well prepared and capable of working across the electrical engineering industry, however they will also have the opportunity to focus on niche areas such as renewable energy systems, including renewable technologies such as wind farms and electrical drive systems, such as those used on ships and submarines and on emission free vehicles. Students are taught how to develop electrical engineering solutions which are appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts to which they are applied. A range of industries and companies throughout Australia and internationally employ Electrical Engineers and some of these include Rio Tinto, BAE systems, BHP, Chevron, Xstrata, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Government transport departments and various power companies in each state.
