Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical) (pre 2017)
The University of Newcastle
About
Electrical engineering is a professional career that utilises mathematics, science, technology and problem solving skills to design, construct and maintain the products and services that underpin modern society.
Electrical engineering is the major area of expertise behind control and automation, telecommunications, signal processing, analogue and digital electronics and power generation and distribution.
It is also vital in new and emerging fields such as nano-technology, robotics and renewable energy.
