Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering - Power Engineering (Honours)

The University of Sydney

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Electrical) will develop your ability to design and build the systems and machines that generate, transmit, measure, control and use electrical energy. It will position you to tackle the world's biggest challenges in health, education and the environment. You will learn from industry-leading professionals how electrical energy is produced and used in homes, the community and in industry. Throughout your studies you will develop a foundational knowledge of electrical circuits, electronics and computer systems, signals and communications, power systems, control, energy systems and management. During this four-year degree you will gain core skills in physics, mathematics, computer science and basic electrical engineering principles, before specialising in a variety of fields within the discipline, such as biomedical engineering, energy engineering and automatic control. In your third and fourth years, you can take electives to add breadth and depth to your studies. As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.Our Power Engineering specialisation focuses on the areas of power systems, power electronics, control engineering, energy systems and management. It builds on foundations in physics, mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering principles to explore the generation, transmission, distribution and utilisation of electricity as well as the design of a range of related devices. As a graduate of our Power Engineering specialisation, you will be equipped to pursue a career with industrial corporations and government departments involved with providing, converting, controlling, managing, and using electrical power. You may also conduct research on developing new technology for utilising alternative and renewable power sources such as solar and wind energy.
