Opportunities

These fields of study provide a foundation in electronics, hardware and software skills needed for the development, construction and design of electronic parts and systems - ranging from everyday items to applications for large corporations and industries.

Electronic engineering graduates gain work in the research, design, development and manufacture of electronic systems, with employers who specialise in computer-based hardware and software systems, and work in communications, satellite navigation, broadband services and telecommunications, energy production, and transport control systems development.

Electronic and energy engineering (Nathan): Our future as an advanced society depends upon our ability to produce, store and use energy in a sustainable way. In this major, you will learn electronics engineering, while learning to develop technology systems that generate, store, distribute and use power in a highly efficient way.

Electronic and UAV engineering (Nathan): As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are rapidly finding application in many areas, the need for both certified pilots and engineers to design and maintain the vehicles grows. This major offers UAV flight training and professional pilot license theory, while providing full engineering qualifications.

Your employability

In addition to knowledge and skills directly related to your program of study, you will also develop a range of other skills such as teamwork, analytical, communication through academic study, employment, voluntary work, sporting and recreational activities and life experience.

Recognising the value employers place on these skills is an important factor in your graduate job search. You can further develop your employability with these resources:
