Course Overview

Engineering is one of those professions that can take you all around the world. With lots of infrastructure projects happening across the world and the global transition to clean energy in its many forms, there are many opportunities for creative thinkers in this field. The Bachelor of Technology (Engineering) major in Electrical develops the knowledge, skills and competencies required for graduates to work as an Engineering Technologist. Many types of engineering jobs require commissioning, testing, operation and maintenance of infrastructure and systems. These jobs are well suited to a Bachelor of Technology (Engineering) major in Electrical graduate. Graduates interested progressing further in Engineering may wish to consider the Master of Engineering (I59) course offered at ECU Australia.

Course Learning Outcomes

  • Apply broad discipline knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering domain.
  • Think critically and apply established engineering methods to broadly defined engineering problems.
  • Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage small-scale projects in the engineering domain, with some intellectual independence.
  • Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the engineering discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
  • Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in technical and lay domains.
  • Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering domain, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
  • Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
  • Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary practice in the engineering domain.

Employment Opportunities

Graduates of the course will find employment opportunities in engineering and technology related industries.

Possible Future Job Titles

  • Engineering Technologist
  • Engineering Technician
