Course description

Modern electronics has created sophisticated instruments and gadgets for use in all branches of physical and biological sciences, plus areas of engineering and manufacturing. This course focuses on implementation of electronic circuits and systems, which are used in daily life, from simple embedded microwave ovens to photonic communication devices and expensive biomedical equipment in hospitals.

The course provides a broad introduction to electronics and the opportunity to specialise in: biomedical engineering, electronic systems engineering, optical engineering, sustainable energy production and telecommunications engineering.

Students can access the Faculty Industry Cadetship Program and mentoring programs. Visit Faculty website for more details.

Course structure

For professional accreditation purposes, the syllabus is mostly fixed, with the first two years common to all students and a selection of specialised subjects available in third and fourth years. Practical work forms an important part of the course throughout the degree and students complete engineering design projects in each year. First year studies include introductory electronics, mathematics, physics, C programming for engineers, and an engineering design project. In fourth year students complete a major electronic engineering design project on a topic relevant to their chosen field of specialisation.
