Overview

About this course

The Bachelor of Technology (Engineering) major in Electrical develops the knowledge and skills needed to work as an Engineering Technologist. It is an Edith Cowan University degree offered at the Rajagiriya campus, which has engineering laboratories. Year 1 covers engineering mechanics, mathematics, materials, physics, electrical engineering fundamentals and energy and resource engineering. Year 2 adds engineering systems, computer-aided design and programming, and the electrical major units include instrumentation and measurement, digital and analog electronics, signals and systems, power systems, electrical machines and transformers, electrical networks, power electronics and industrial control. Every ECU Bachelor of Technology student must complete at least eight weeks of full-time-equivalent professional practice before graduating, through the Technology Practicum unit, and the third year includes a Technology Project and Engineering Management. ECU notes that graduates wanting to go further in engineering may consider ECU's Master of Engineering in Australia. ECU lists the roles engineering technologist and engineering technician.
