MJRP-ELENG v.1 Electrical Engineering Major (GDip ProfEng)
Major/Stream Overview
This major/stream is part of a larger course. Information is specific to the major/stream, please refer to the course for more information.
Electricity is a key energy source in the development and progress of contemporary society. Since fossil fuels are a finite resource, the development of alternative sources of electrical energy such as solar and wind is vital. This major addresses challenges in the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Emergent technologies like smart grid and distributed generation are covered in detail.
Major/Stream Entry and Completion Details
For entry into this major, students require an Undergraduate Degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Computing or Physics.
Major/Minor/Stream Organisation
Major/Stream Learning Outcomes
A graduate of this course can:
1. apply electrical engineering theory and its design method to investigate and solve significant technological problems
2. analyse a problem and apply research and creative thinking to the formulation of a solution; implement and verify the solution using state of the art tools and techniques
3. find, evaluate, organise and present information relevant to electrical engineering research activities
4. communicate concepts and technical information to lay and professional personnel in written, oral and electronic forms
5. use software and hardware tools in a proficient way to analyse and verify electrical and electronic systems
6. recognise the rapid development of electrical and electronic technologies, and maintain currency via a spirit of inquiry and relevant further study
7. apply international standards, practices and conventions appropriate to electrical engineering
8. function effectively within a typical multidisciplinary and multi-cultural engineering design team as a team member, manager or team leader, recognising individual human rights
9. commit to and behave in accordance with the professional and ethical responsibilities of engineering postgraduates
