Play a part in finding better ways to power the modern world by learning the processes behind the production and distribution of electricity. Electrical engineering at RMIT is about more than just learning the theories behind the discipline, it’s about being able to put those theories into practice in order to solve problems. You’ll learn the skills necessary to make useful products and provide quality services by spending time on experiments in laboratory classes, and designing projects. Throughout the program you’ll learn to design, develop and supervise the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. You’ll also work on systems for the generation, distribution, utilization, and control of electric power and electronic systems used for a variety of domestic and industrial applications. You’ll develop high-level technical and design skills and focus on a specialist area such as energy conversion, power systems or high-voltage equipment. You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees. To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective. International student visa holders can only study full-time. Career Electrical engineers work on the systems for the generation, distribution, utilization and control of electric power systems. They drive the transition to alternative and renewable energy sources. After graduating you may work in areas of industry such as: power generation and distribution mining and resources industrial systems design consumer product design process control industries electrified transportation manufacturing automotive defence Work opportunities are available in Australia and overseas, designing and supervising projects to implement new technologies in small and large organizations. The leadership skills you learn from project work will also help prepares you for management roles. Graduates have gone on to work at a range of organizations including: AusNet Services United Energy Beca Schneider Electric Greensync Metro Robert Bosch Ford Australia Woodside Energy Further study When you successfully complete this program, you may be eligible for entry into an RMIT postgraduate program or RMIT Masters by Research or Doctoral (PhD) program.
