This branch of engineering is about using electricity for the benefit of the world — from providing power for homes and industry, to creating the physical parts that transfer information on computers and smart devices.
While similar to both Computer Engineering and Mechatronics Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering has a stronger focus on making things happen in the physical world.
You may also choose to complete a minor alongside Electrical and Electronic Engineering in Power Engineering .
The first year of the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours is made up of six compulsory courses taken by all Engineering students, plus courses specific to Electrical and Electronic Engineering:
You also need to complete two other 100-level elective courses. Check with a Student Advisor for suggested options.
