Electrical Engineering
Students undertaking this program are able to draw from the very broad range of topics available in this area. They can take courses offered in the traditional electrical areas such as power systems, electronics and signal processing, as well as a selection from within the more specialised programs (biomedical, computer systems, RF and microwave, software, telecommunications).
Selection of courses is normally made with the assistance of an academic advisor, who takes into account the material covered in your BE. Projects in this area generally follow the research interests of the staff teaching in the area. A sampling of current interests includes power electronics, problems of power delivery in a deregulated environment, modelling of semiconductor devices, development of sensors for the mining industry and the automated analysis of pathology slides.
The more broadly-based Electrical Engineering masters graduate may find employment in telecommunications, electronics, computer hardware, control systems or power systems. Opportunities exist in companies that vary from the large and long-established to the small and new start-up companies, many of the latter having been started up by our own graduates.
