Overview
Launch your career in electronic design, power generation or communication technology, studying one of the largest and most in-demand areas of engineering.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) will help you gain the practical and problem-solving skills needed to become an electrical or electronic engineer.
Our engineering degree offers lab work and industry experience, ensuring you’re job-ready when you graduate.
You can specialise in telecommunications, power systems or embedded systems. These are areas that need qualified professionals, and there is a high demand for our graduates.
Electrical and electronic engineers work in these areas:
- electricity generation and distribution
- smart-grid design – communication, control, and automation technologies
- renewable energy systems – designing photovoltaic, wind and biomass systems
- electricity supply work – power systems analysis, protection, operations, reliability, maintenance, and management
- electronic equipment design
- industrial manufacturing plants and substation management
- communications infrastructure design – for telephones, radio, TV and the internet
- microprocessor-based embedded systems – design and programming.
On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Integrate conceptual understanding of mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences with advanced specialist bodies of knowledge within the electrical and electronic engineering discipline;
- Exhibit expertise and professional judgement in engineering design practice which acknowledges contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline;
- Adapt theoretical knowledge applicable to the discipline and propose creative, innovative and sustainable engineering practices;
- Critically evaluate both sources and validity of information and use established processes for information management;
- Plan and execute a research project, professional project or piece of scholarship which demonstrates intellectual independence and contributes to the evidence base within the engineering discipline;
- Discriminate and defend the application of established engineering methods and processes to promote systems which resolve existing and emerging complex engineering problems (including those that require cross-disciplinary knowledge and skills);
- Present clear and coherent expositions of knowledge and ideas to a variety of audiences;
- Exemplify the requisite characteristics for team leadership and membership appropriate to specific purposes, projects and contexts;
- Apply professional ethics and accountabilities in their engineering practice and a commitment to ongoing professional development.
VU's electrical and electronic engineering research is rated 5-stars at ‘well above world standard’ by Excellence in Research for Australia.
Female engineers excel in solving problems of social significance, making a positive impact on society and the environment.
Our Women in Science & Engineering program supports our current university students, and inspires women to choose engineering and science careers.
We run hands-on workshops in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines for secondary-school students. Our support continues throughout undergraduate and postgraduate study, with mentoring, seminars and workshops featuring female engineers.
