Overview

Throughout the Professional Engineering (Electrical) course from Adelaide University you can tailor your studies to your specific electrical engineering interests and career goals. Whether that’s advanced control, renewable energy systems, distributed power generation, advanced electrical machines – or something else entirely – you’ll find plenty of options.

Core courses in engineering management and data analytics will formalise and deepen your project management expertise.

A deeply practical degree, you’ll put your learning into practice through capstone design-and-build projects, a major research project and up to 450 hours of industry placement.

All these experiences cumulate to ensure you graduate with the advanced technical and professional skills you’ll need to achieve your career goals.

Career opportunities:

Recognised as one of the broadest areas of engineering, electrical and electronic engineers are employed by a wide range of traditional and emerging industries.
