About the Program
In this major you will gain a thorough understanding of the concepts that underpin electrical and electronic engineering, before choosing one of the specializations below. In your final year you will undertake a major research or design project and complete 12 weeks of professional practice.
Embedded Systems – In this stream, you will learn the theoretical and practical aspects of embedded systems, sensors, and electronic design.
Electronics and Communications – This stream will help you address challenges facing telecommunication systems to enable fast and reliable communication anywhere and anytime.
Power Systems – This stream will help you address the challenges in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. It covers topics such as smart grids, distribution systems and the integration of renewable energy. Society has an increasing demand for intelligent transportation systems, mobile broadband access, remote operations, and tactile internet – the next evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Our world is increasingly characterised by intelligent devices that contain embedded systems. These systems enable a computer to control another computer, monitor it or provide it with sophisticated functionality.
