Are you ready to find better ways to power the modern world? In this degree, you'll learn the processes behind the production and distribution of electricity.

Electrical engineering at RMIT is about more than just learning the theories behind the discipline, it’s about being able to put those theories into practice in order to solve problems.

You’ll learn the skills necessary to make useful products and provide quality services by spending time on experiments in laboratory classes and designing projects.

You’ll learn to design, develop and supervise the manufacture, installation, operation and maintenance of electrical systems. 

You’ll also work on systems for the generation, distribution, utilization, and control of electric power and electronic systems used for a variety of domestic and industrial applications.

You’ll develop high-level technical and design skills and focus on a specialist area such as energy conversion, power systems or high-voltage equipment.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.

Industry connections

The School of Engineering has an industry advisory committee for the electrical and computer systems engineering courses which is an important link to industry.

Membership includes senior engineers from several major national companies and government and non-government organisations.

The Committee provides comments and advice on the contents of these courses.

The School also has extensive links with industry, particularly through research projects and consulting services. In some cases, industry has provided direct support by donating laboratory equipment.

You may be able to undertake an industry sponsored design project in your final year (as part of Engineering Capstone Project Part A and Part B).

Note: You will not need to pay any application fee but some of African countries will need to deposit of AU$100 application fee.
