The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Electrical) will develop your ability to design and build the systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy. It will position you to tackle the world's biggest challenges in health, education and the environment. You will learn from industry-leading professionals how electrical energy is produced and used in homes, the community and in industry. Throughout your studies you will develop a foundational knowledge of electrical circuits, electronics and computer systems, signals and communications, power systems, control, energy systems and management. During this four-year degree you will gain core skills in physics, mathematics, computer science and basic electrical engineering principles, before specialising in a variety of fields within the discipline, such as biomedical engineering, energy engineering and automatic control. In your third and fourth years, you can take electives to add breadth and depth to your studies. As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.
Our Telecommunications Engineering specialisation explores the design, planning, commissioning and monitoring of complex telecommunications networks and broadcasting equipment. The discipline of telecommunications engineering is concerned with all aspects of theory and application for a broad range of systems such as telephone and data networks, radio and television broadcasting, satellite and deep space applications. It is also connected to digital communications, microwaves and antennas, optical communications, the design and manufacture of lasers and optical fibres, signal and information processing, and satellite mobile communications.
As a graduate of our Telecommunications Engineering specialisation, you will be equipped to deal with a wide range of exciting modern technologies, including mobile and wireless communications, fixed and mobile internet, mobile social networking and data transmissions. Your career options might include designing and installing complex telecommunications networks, optical networks and other associated broadcasting equipment for large telecommunications carriers and their contractors, network and exchange equipment suppliers.
