Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic)

Overview

You also have the opportunity to focus on niche areas including renewable technologies such as wind farms, and electrical drive systems such as those used on ships and submarines and in emission-free vehicles.

Electrical engineering is concerned with large scale electrical systems such as power supply, renewable power generation and motors while electronic engineering is typically concerned with small scale, often lower voltage electronic systems such as computer systems, communication networks and integrated circuits. The Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic) program at Flinders University adds to your previous study and covers both types of engineering.

Electrical and electronic engineers are involved in developing technology used in areas such as aircraft systems, media and sound broadcasting, power distribution systems, traffic and urban management, medical equipment, robotics, broadband systems, and scientific devices.

Your career

High demand exists for qualified professional electrical and electronic engineers in areas such as defence, medicine, telecommunications, building, manufacturing and mining.
