Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Electrical Engineering)
What you’ll study
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Electrical Engineering) is an undergraduate coursework degree that will develop your ability to design and build the systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy. This course is accredited by Engineers Australia and other major professional engineering institutions.
You will complete degree foundational core units in mathematics and computing, along with a suite of multidisciplinary project units. You will also complete stream core and specialist elective units in electrical engineering, and can choose to complete an optional specialisation.
Additionally, you will complete elective units as needed to make up the requirements of the course from either the Engineering disciplinary pool or the shared pool. In your final year, you will complete an honours thesis in electrical engineering.
Throughout your degree, you will undertake professional engagement activities as part of the Professional Engagement Program, including engineering work experience in the final year.
Detailed course structure: Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Electrical Engineering)
Professional practice
Our award-winning Professional Engagement Program (PEP) is designed to allow students to contextualise their learning, enhance their own professional development, and build the foundations of a strong professional engineering career.
It consists of two main components; a series of zero credit point units of study completed each semester and 600 hours of professional engagement integrated continuously throughout the degree.
The required professional engagement is flexible in nature and can be customised to a stream or area of interest, however the below minimum requirements must be met within the total:
- a minimum of 70 hours of non-engineering focused activities (volunteering, casual or part-time work, employment skills, mentoring and/or development of transferable skills)
- a minimum of 200 hours of engineering focused activities (industry projects, site visits, guest lectures, interviews, seminars, conferences and/or research)
- a minimum of 200 hours of engineering work experience in industry (typically in the final year). This is the mandatory work component.
The following mandatory work component must be completed as part of the award requirements and is undertaken as part of PEP.
