Course Details

Electrical engineers are needed wherever electrically powered tools, devices or systems need to be designed, manufactured or maintained, and these systems include systems that generate, transmit or distribute electrical energy; systems that acquire, process or deliver information; systems that automate processes and deliver services. Position yourself at the forefront of technology, with a popular degree that gives you a broad range of career options.

You will apply engineering theory to real-world challenges, becoming skilled in power systems, renewable energy, electronics, embedded systems, telecommunications, signal processing, automation and control, project management and systems engineering. Graduate career-ready by completing the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program and gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events.

We’re one of Australia’s leading universities for Engineering research.1 Our leading researchers will be your teachers and everything you learn will be supported by the expertise and experience gained through our research excellence.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering, including computer programming, applied mathematics and physics. As your studies progress, you will learn about analog electronics, digital electronics, software development, embedded systems, computer networking, electrical machines, signal processing, control systems. Depending on your chosen major, you will also learn specialist topics in power systems and renewable energy, telecommunications, computer engineering, or optical engineering. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

At least half of the honours year involves a major project. Armed with new knowledge and skills, using the latest design tools, and mentored by engineering academic staff, our honours students develop innovative products to advance technology.
