Future Students
Electrical engineers play a key role in the design, implementation and management of systems that exploit electrical phenomena to meet practical needs. These systems range from the telephone and computer networks used to reliably communicate information over large distances at high speed, and the networks of power lines and sub-stations used to distribute energy over wide areas, to much smaller systems, including the bionic ear and eye used to restore pathways from the environment to the brain, and the electronic micro-computers capable of processing billions of instructions per second. The Electrical Systems major introduces the fundamental mathematics of signals, systems and information, and the physical science of electrical phenomena. It leads directly to a professionally accredited Master of Engineering program in electrical engineering or mechatronics.
What kind of careers can I pursue?
Electrical engineering and mechatonics graduates are known for their strong analytical and problem solving skills. They find employment in a variety of capacities, ranging from research and technical engineering work to management and finance, across a broad array of areas, including the energy, telecommunications, computer, electronics, defence, manufacturing, automation, transport and biotechnology industries.
