The Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) - Mathematics program from University of Newcastle trains engineers capable of solving the greatest global challenges.
As an electrical engineer you can help develop precision agriculture technology to increase food production efficiency, refine aircraft electrical systems and even build smart grid systems to help manage alternative energy resources.
Or, like our team of researchers, you could develop medical technology such as the artificial pancreas.
What is electrical engineering? Electrical engineering involves fields such as electronics, computer systems, telecommunications, bioengineering, control, robotics and electrical power engineering.
Electrical engineers design and build systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy essential to modern life.
Electrical engineers are employed in utilities, industry, manufacturing, consulting services and electronic design and development.
Graduates might focus on electronics engineering. They could specialise in automation and control engineering, or they may work in robotic engineering or power generation and distribution.
Electrical engineering is flexible and diverse. You may prefer hands-on fieldwork, design and development, or a leadership role managing people and projects. Typical positions include:
Remarkably, engineering is the most commonly held degree among the highest performing Fortune 500 CEOs – the CEOs of companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla Motors are all engineers.
