Course details
Electrical and electronic engineering spans from the nanometres-thick scale of advanced electronic devices to the kilometres-long scale of power transmission, and everything in between.
The Electrical and Electronic Engineering major prepares students for a career in such innovative fields as developing sustainable energy solutions, designing technologies to improve our health, creating systems that support industry or communities, or designing electronics that transform lives.
Through this course students learn to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems concerned with the generation and transmission of information and electric power, and the design and testing of electrical and electronic devices, circuits and systems, and consider the context of the broader system application within which all of this falls, including economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability constraints.
