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.
