Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (pre 2019)

Electrical and electronic 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 and electronic engineering is the major area of expertise behind control and automation, telecommunications and networking, signal processing, analogue, digital and computer electronics and power generation, distribution and utilization.

It is also vital in new and emerging fields such as nano-technology, robotics, renewable energy and internet of things.
