Major - Electrical and Electronic Engineering

To be read in conjunction with the program of study requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering Science.

This major extends the Bachelor of Engineering Science to provide study in electrical and electronic engineering.

Course aims

The major has been designed to provide graduates with:

• an understanding of both the theoretical and the practical aspects of electrical and electronic engineering
• an understanding of the tools and techniques used in electrical and electronic engineering
• an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems

Learning outcomes

On completion students will be able to:

• proficiently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of electrical and electronic systems
• demonstrate an understanding of electrical and electronic engineering
• engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge in the area of electrical and electronic engineering
