Course Description
Electrical engineers devise solutions to generate and use electrical power efficiently and cleanly. This is very important in the energy and resources sectors. Electronic engineers design and maintain a huge range of electronic devices and systems, from amplifiers and stereos to scanning equipment used in hospitals. Electrical and electronic engineers deliver products and services that improve quality of life for individuals and whole communities. By improving drive and control systems in transport, or designing robots and automated tools productivity can be improved in industries such as agriculture and manufacturing. Students will learn how electricity and electronics work, and how to build and maintain devices. A large amount of time will be spent on experimenting in the laboratory and designing projects to build.

Study Pathways
Graduates of the Associate Degree in Engineering Technology (Electrical/Electronics) who achieve a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or greater are guaranteed entry with two years' exemption (equivalent to 192 credit points) into the Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering). Graduates with a GPA of less than 2.0 may apply, and if successful in gaining a place, may be eligible for exemptions. Graduates of the Advanced Diploma of Computer Systems Engineering, the Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Electrical, or the Advanced Diploma of Electronics and Communications Engineering, who are successful in gaining a place, may also be eligible to apply for exemptions. Note: The pathway programs listed above are being reviewed and equivalent programs may be offered. Study pathways will be updated following registration of the new programs.
Comments
As a graduate of electrical and electronic engineering, you can look for work in lots of different areas. You could design and make electrical and electronic products, or install and maintain systems for businesses. Universities and governments also require engineers to maintain and improve their electrical and electronic technologies. Suitable roles for graduates exist at power plants in the energy sector, working in auto-electronics for the car industry, in defence and in the higher education sector conducting research. You could also choose to run your own business, delivering services in your chosen specialisation.
