Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Power)
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical) (Power) has been designed in consultation with key industrial partners, and is complemented with real-world project work. The projects offered include the protection of industrial and power plants, as well as transmission and distribution networks.
You will complete foundation study in physics, mathematics, computer science and basic electrical engineering principles. Your further study will be completed in the areas of electrical circuits, electronics and computer systems, signals and communications, power systems, control, energy systems and management.
Power engineers plan, design, construct, operate and maintain power systems and equipment. This is the infrastructure that generates, transports and distributes electricity, the heartbeat of modern society. As an electrical engineering graduate with a specialisation in power, you may pursue a career with major corporations and government departments involved with providing and using electrical power, or conduct research on developing alternative power sources such as solar and wind energy.
