About the course

This branch of engineering is about using electricity for the benefit of the world — from providing power for homes and industry, to creating the physical parts that transfer information on computers and smart devices. While similar to both Computer Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering has a stronger focus on making things happen in the physical world.

　　Combining theory and practice by building and testing systems like solar cars, electric vehicles, and robots.

　　Field trips to electricity infrastructure like power stations. A final year research project, often sponsored by industry, to apply your learning.

　　By studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you will be able to think of the end user and use your knowledge and skills to come up with practical and efficient solutions to problems.

　　The field is broad and there are many exciting projects you can contribute to like clean water, communication networks, transportation, search and rescue, and medical devices.

　　Career pathways could include: electronics design, embedded systems, consultant

　　You can add a minor in Power Engineering with courses on electric power and renewable energy. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
