Take a look at the appliances and systems that make our daily lives easier – they were created by electronic engineers. Electronic engineers are also involved in robotics research, which relies heavily on using digital systems to control and monitor motors, communications, and sensors.
You develop an in-depth understanding of electronic engineering circuits, with a focus on microelectronic systems and their applications in commercial, industrial and domestic systems and appliances. The Electronic Engineering major also covers the design, implementation and maintenance of electronic systems.

Preferred school subjects
Digital Technologies, English, Technology
Year 1
This major shares some of the first year papers with the other majors in the Bachelor of Engineering Technology. You also explore power, control and microcontroller engineering.
Year 2
You further your understanding of engineering mathematics, electronics, power, embedded digital systems, microcontrollers and building services. This year also introduces you to management and project management skills, and includes a compulsory practical project.
Year 3
This year you choose elective papers in digital or analogue electronics, and explore management topics like ethics and sustainability. You also complete a full-year industry project.
Workplace experience
All students complete an industry-based project this year. This is your chance to apply what you’ve learnt in a research or industry environment.
You also need to complete a minimum of 600 hours of planned supervised work experience to graduate. This work experience exposes you to real engineering practices and management systems and helps you build engineering networks.
