School of Engineering and Mathematical SciencesDepartment of Electronic EngineeringResearchThe research program of the Department is centred on applied research in the core areas of Biomedical, Communication, Control Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Optical and Photonics, Semiconductor Materials and Device Research.
La Trobe University offers an extensive scholarship and candidature program for postgraduate students who are undertaking higher degrees by research. The Department of Electronic Engineering at La Trobe University provides training, accredited with the Institution of Engineers, Australia, to approximately 600 undergraduates students. The Department is well equipped with state of the art computing and instrumentation facilities and operates from a modern Engineering complex. The University has an expanding Research and Development Park adjacent to the campus and the Department maintains active links with industry. Much of the research programme within the Department is funded by outside bodies. The Department of Electronic Engineering is part of the Cooperartive Research Centre for Diagnostic Technologies which is largely funded by the Commonwealth Government. Research work in this area is focussed on developing new instrumentation for medical diagnostic purposes. Research ProgramsThe Department offers two research degrees: the Master of Engineering by Research - (SMER) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) . In both cases the students undertake research under the guidance of a member of staff. The Department offers a wide range of research opportunities in the areas of
The Master of Engineering takes nominally two years full-time (or part-time equivalent). The normal period of candidature for a PhD is three to four years full-time. Scholarships may be available to well-qualified applicants. For more information on scholarships available at La Trobe University click here .
