This program prepares you for a leadership role in the internationally fast-growing sectors of power engineering and energy. You'll focus on technical areas of electrical engineering, including: renewable energy high-voltage and protection systems power transmission and distribution building services industry control and automation You'll gain leading-edge knowledge and skills in power engineering with effective business skills in communication, teamwork and management. The sectors of smart grid technology and renewable energy are experiencing rapid growth. As a result the field of power engineering has a strong employment market, offering a range of opportunities to electrical engineers. The program is suitable for both electrical engineering graduates looking for specialist knowledge in the latest power engineering technologies, and graduates from another discipline seeking a career change. International student visa holders can only study full-time. Multiple campuses Lectures, tutorials and laboratory sessions for this program are conducted on the City campus, except for the laboratory component of the course Protection and High Voltage Engineering which is conducted on Bundoora campus east. Program structure The Master of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) consists of 192 credit points. After completing 96 credit points of study approved by the Program Manager, you may exit with a graduate diploma. Career With an increasing focus on renewable energy, electrical engineers are in a position to be part of the transformation to renewable energy sources. Graduates may work in the electrical supply industry where their knowledge of transformers, motors and generators is needed across all areas of operations. Public transport providers also need electrical engineers to develop and maintain the systems that keep trains running and signals operating. With a push to modernize railway infrastructure, engineers are in demand. Within the manufacturing industry robots and automation have become essential elements, and electrical engineers are now called on to design and develop the next-generation control systems that enable this. RMIT graduates have gone on to work at a range of organizations including: Ausnet Services United Energy Wilson Transformer Company Further study When you successfully complete this program, you may be eligible for entry into an RMIT Masters by Research or Doctoral (PhD) program.
