Electrical Engineering
What is Electrical Engineering?
Electrical Engineering is the study, design, development and application of electricity, including high-voltage power generation and supply networks.
Electrical engineers are at the forefront of developing renewable energy systems and super-efficient electrical devices that aim to reduce energy demands.
What you will learn
You will gain knowledge about circuits, energy generation, analogue and digital intelligent control (such as on-board computers in cars, aircraft or trains), instrumentation (such as digital temperature and pressure gauges) and large-scale electrical system design and operation.
You will graduate with practical skills in hardware and software that enable you to design and build large-scale electrical and control systems.
Career options
As a graduate in this field, you can work in any areas suggested for flexible majors, as well as through finding opportunities with:
- Car, aircraft and train manufacturers
- Defence agencies and military hardware manufacturers
- Energy companies, including sustainable energy providers
- Biomedical and health engineering companies
You are also likely to work closely with mechanical, mechatronic, electronic and data engineers, and find opportunities in many of the areas suggested for these majors.
