About this Degree

 

2008 | 2009

Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences B.E(EE)/Ma
2008

Location: North Terrace Campus
Duration: 5 years (full time)
Degree: Double Degree

Program Outline

Electrical & Electronic Engineers design and create devices that use electrical energy. This broad field represents the leading edge of technology in many domains: from alternative energy systems to microelectronic computer chips; from the electric motors of hybrid vehicles to the control electronics of unmanned aircraft. Electrical & Electronic Engineering graduates specialise in a diverse variety of growing fields such as image processing, robotics, radar and remote sensing, micromachines, biomedical engineering and information security.

This degree provides a strong background in mathematics and physics as well as practical experience in the design and operation of electrical, electronic and software systems. The academic program embraces telecommunications, control systems, antenna design, signal processing, microprocessors, VLSI chip design, energy systems, and electrical machines and drives. It develops written and oral communication skills, and familiarity with project management and quality control techniques.

Combined degrees for Electrical & Electronic Engineering are available with Arts (stream code 221), Economics (222), Finance (223), Mathematical & Computer Sciences (224), Science (Physics) (225) and Laws (SATAC code 324111, stream code 115 - min. 6.5 years full-time study).
