Aim
To prepare graduates for a professional career in the electrical engineering discipline with particular emphasis on electrical systems, electronics, and computer systems.
Content & Structure
The Bachelor of Engineering requires completion of courses totalling 144 units, and comprises a common first year across all Engineering disciplines. The first two years of the program lay the foundation of mathematics, physics, computing, signal analysis, circuit analysis, and electronics and communication principles. In the third year of study, students concentrate on their chosen application area, as well as a set of common courses in electrical machines, control systems, and embedded systems. An integrating project course in taken in the second half of third year, which enables students to synthesise and apply the skills and knowledge accumulated throughout the program. Work-integrated learning is facilitated through the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program, requiring students to gain at least 450 hours (60 days FTE) of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events.
Further specialist courses are offered in the final year. There is an emphasis throughout the program on
preparing students for professional engineering practice and on the application of knowledge to practical engineering problems, including the application of systems engineering principles to designing and implementing complex systems. The degree develops professional engineering skills in a capstone experience project, and research abilities in an honours project, both of which span the full duration of the final year.

It is a requirement of Engineers Australia that students achieve at least 450 hours (60 days FTE) of discipline and/or industry related skills and competencies by completing the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program (PPP) prior to graduation. These hours can be gained through a range of professional engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and industry events. For more information please contact the UniSA STEM Industry Experience team at STEM.PPP@unisa.edu.au.
2. Upon completion of the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program (PPP) students will be invited to enrol in this course and complete the required assessment for the course. The student will not be eligible to graduate until they have obtained a Non-Graded Pass (NGP) for this course.
3. At least two of the four Major Elective courses students enrol in during the final year must have a catalogue number starting with 4 (e.g. EEET 4XXX).
4. Other Minors may be available in addition to those listed in the program schedule. Students who wish to transfer between second majors or take courses from other Engineering degree programs must obtain approval from the Program Director and follow the agreed study plan. Students are advised to seek advice from the Program Director concerning the levels of courses in order to guarantee meeting graduation requirements.
Notes
1. Not all electives may be offered every year. Other options not listed here may only be taken with the prior agreement of the Program Director.
