Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Business

Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a professional career that utilises mathematics, science, technology and problem solving skills to design, construct and maintain the products and services that underpin modern society. Electrical and Electronic Engineering is the major area of expertise behind control and automation, telecommunications and networking, signal processing, analogue, digital and computer electronics and power generation, distribution and utilisation. It is also vital in new and emerging fields such as nanotechnology, robotics, renewable energy and the Internet of Things. Completing these two bachelor degrees together enables students to complement their technical skills with business acumen, entrepreneurism and the ability to commercialise engineering innovations. Students learn how to manage people and finances, propose new business opportunities and market their products.
