Undergraduate Study for Future Students

Undergraduate Engineering

Electrical engineering involves designing and building electrical and electronic devices on all scales, from transistors smaller than the head of a pin, to the statewide power grid. Electrical engineers also design electrical systems for high technology applications such as spacecraft and satellites. In addition to being the central discipline involved in communications, specifically in civil aviation and the deep space network, electrical engineering also has an ongoing impact in the medical field, developing systems and instrumentation for such developments as the ‘bionic ear’, heart pacemakers and life support systems.

These courses are available to students pursuing a career in electrical engineering:

• Bachelor of Science with a major in Electrical Systems
• Bachelor of Commerce with a specified sequence of subjects in Electrical Engineering

Followed by the two-year Master of Engineering (Electrical or Mechatronics)

OR

• Four-year Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical)

All options qualify you to be an electrical or mechatronics engineer and lead to professional accreditation.
