Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering), Bachelor (Hons)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a four-year specialized degree aimed at developing graduates with essential knowledge, technical expertise, and practical skills for modern engineering. It is structured around Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies, integrating coursework with work-integrated learning, co-curricular activities, and professional skills training.

Electrical and electronic engineering spans from the nanometres-thick scale of advanced electronic devices to the kilometres-long scale of power transmission, and everything in between. Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UWA is designed to produce graduates who are not only capable of finding successful and rewarding lifelong careers as electrical and electronic engineers in existing industries, but who can also apply their skills and knowledge to new and emerging fields such as sustainable energy solutions, technologies to improve individual and community health, innovations in communications and sensor systems, and the design of electronics that transform lives. In the Electrical and Electronic Engineering major, you will learn to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems concerned with the generation and transmission of information and electric power; design and test electrical and electronic devices, circuits and systems; and consider the context of the broader system application within which all of this falls, including economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability constraints.
