This program has foundations in physics, mathematics, computer science and basic electrical engineering principles. The core skills develop the themes of electrical circuits, electronics and computer systems, signals and communications, power systems, control, energy systems and management.

Graduates will gain a deep understanding of power engineering at both the system and device levels. Their knowledge of power transmission, distribution and utilisation will be built on a solid foundation of basic mathematics and physics. The power engineering program has been designed in consultation with key industrial partners, and is complemented with real-world project work. The projects include the protection of industrial and power plants, as well as transmission and distribution networks.

• maintenance practices of electrical grids
• advanced monitoring
• diagnostics technologies
• renewable energy systems such as wind and solar
• electronics associated with the facilitation of energy conversion and integration with the electrical grid.
