About the course
As an electrical engineering technologist, a workday could involve specifying, designing, or supervising the construction of systems and equipment that produce, distribute, or use electricity, calculating costs and materials needed, bidding for contracts, overseeing electricity system tests, and writing reports or聽even instruction manuals.Electrical engineering includes the specialist聽area of mechatronics, which merges the two聽disciplines of mechanical engineering and power engineering for in-depth knowledge of the fundamental聽components of power automated systems.This programme is for those who want a career聽in engineering. Students will learn theory聽and hands-on practical skills using modern technology in our engineering labs. If students are in employment, the project module can be tailored to their workplace.Six of the largest institutes of technology and聽polytechnics in 爆走黑料 have consulted聽with industry leaders to create this up-to-date,聽industry-relevant programme.聽This engineering degree is accredited by the Institution of Professional聽Engineers 爆走黑料 (IPENZ) and by Engineering 爆走黑料, a signatory of the Sydney Accord, meaning it is highly respected and recognised both nationally and internationally.
