Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Electrical and Electronic)

The first two years of this program are common across the majors and establish a deeper understanding of mathematics, physics and computer programming.
They also cover the basic principles of themes that will be developed throughout the program; digital and embedded systems, electronic circuits and signals, electrical systems, and professional practice and systems engineering.
This common foundation means that all 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.
At the end of the second year, students have the opportunity to select a major in a wide range of topics.
Each major has specified core courses and a pool of relevant elective courses.
All students undertake advanced professional practice and systems engineering subjects.
The final year includes a capstone research project, relevant to the student’s major, which further develops research, technical and professional skills.
As being a professional engineer is about more than just technical specialisation, students in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic) undertake three broadening electives as part of their degree.
These can be used to study a language, to learn more about business and economics, to gain a greater understanding of general science or even to develop communication and interpersonal skills, which can strengthen a graduate’s employability.
Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved practical experience.
Majors In third year, students have the opportunity to begin technical specialisation through the choice of a major.
Choosing a major is a great way for students to pursue topics of special interest without narrowing their future options.
All graduates, irrespective of their major, qualify as electrical and electronic engineers and have the opportunity to pursue a career in any of the specialist fields within the profession.
Majors are available across the following areas:Autonomous SystemsThe Autonomous Systems major equips graduates with the knowledge needed to design systems that cross the traditional boundaries between electronic, mechanical and computer engineering to create autonomous machines driven by motors and guided by computers.
Advanced subjects in artificial intelligence, computer vision and robotics are available.
Biomedical EngineeringThe Biomedical Engineering major prepares students to create devices and systems for medical diagnosis, treatment and research.
Students study the foundations of human biology and take an advanced class in medical instruments and imaging.
Communication SystemsThe Communication Systems major is concerned with the technologies that underpin modern voice, multimedia and data communications.
Advanced subject choices allow students to focus on telecommunication systems or radio communications.
Computer EngineeringThe Computer Engineering major focuses on the design and development of computers and on new ways to use them to control devices, equipment and processes.
Advanced topics include computer architecture, computer networks and digital microelectronics.
Renewable EnergyThe Renewable Energy major develops skills and knowledge to effectively sustain the current energy generation infrastructure, and design and integrate high performance and low cost renewable energy systems.
Studies include electric power systems and renewable energy technologies.
