Electrical and Electronic Engineering Major - Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

You’ll become familiar with large scale electric power flow, automated production systems, complex hardware and software systems, telecommunications and embedded digital systems.

Most of your first-year courses are shared between the majors in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, making it easy for you to switch between our engineering degrees and majors*.

If you’re already studying at AUT and have any questions about the courses you should enrol in, email engineer@aut.ac.nz

_{*Cross-credits between different engineering majors and degrees are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and you may not be able to gain cross-credits for all your first-year courses.}

Year 1

Complete the following courses

These courses are offered in both semesters and we’ll automatically enrol you in your first-year courses before you start your studies.

• ENGE500 Introduction to Sustainable Engineering Design (15 points)
• ENGE501 Engineering Mathematics I (15 points)*
• ENGE503 Engineering Mechanics (15 points)
