Are you ready to find better ways to power the modern world?
In RMIT's Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) (Honours), you'll learn the processes behind the production and distribution of electricity.
Electrical engineering at RMIT is about more than just learning the theories behind the discipline. It's about putting those theories into practice to solve problems. You’ll learn the skills necessary to make useful products and provide quality services by spending time on experiments in laboratory classes and designing projects.
In this professionally accredited degree, you’ll learn to design, develop and supervise the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. You’ll also work on systems for the generation, distribution, utilisation, and control of electric power, electronic and control systems used for various domestic and industrial applications.
You’ll develop high-level technical and design skills and focus on a specialist area such as energy conversion, power systems, renewable energy, high-voltage equipment and control engineering.
Work-integrated learning opportunities will provide you with real world experience. You’ll design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, take part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge, complete industry capstone projects and undertake work placements in Australia or overseas.
As an RMIT graduate, you will be able to design and supervise projects and implement new technologies in small and large organisations. The leadership skills you learn from project work will prepare you for management roles.
Electrical engineers work on the systems for the generation, distribution, utilisation and control of electric power systems. They drive the transition to alternative and renewable energy sources.
After graduating you may pursue a career as an electrical engineer in areas of industry such as:
power generation and distribution
mining and resources
renewable energies
industrial systems design
consumer product design
process control industries
electrified transportation
manufacturing
automotive
defence.
Graduates have gone on to have successful careers in a range of organisations including:
