Degree overview

Creativity + science + problem solving = electrical engineering

What is electrical and electronic engineering? Electrical and electronic engineers design and build essential devices and equipment that are integral to modern life. These include systems for electricity generation and distribution, electronic automation and control of various processes, as well as the transmission and reception of electromagnetic signals.

At the University of Newcastle, we train electrical engineers capable of solving the world's greatest challenges. With a?Bachelor of?Electrical and Electronic?Engineering (Honours),?you could?work in a range of roles. This might include power systems, renewable energy technologies, industrial electronics, robotics, control and automation systems, Industry 4.0, or telecommunication systems.

You might?develop precision agriculture technology to increase food?production efficiency. You might even build smart grid systems?to help manage alternative energy resources.?Opportunities also exist in the development of electric vehicle drives for air, land and sea. Or?follow in?the footsteps of our researchers and develop life-changing?medical technology.
