Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Use smart electronic and electrical systems to support increasing complex human activities.

What is Electrical and Electronic Engineering?

Electrical and electronic engineers combine a range of communication and electrical energy technologies to underpin the ongoing transformation of how humans commute, stay connected, and consume energy.

Emerging technologies in areas like distributed energy (for example, microgrids) and the Internet of Things have enabled more flexible use of power and information systems. There’s increased demand for devices, software and systems that can handle increasing complexity, particularly in terms of security, efficiency and reliability.
