Overview

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Power Engineering)

Be a part of the future of power engineering and gain the experience to work in major corporations with UniSQ’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Power Engineering).

Study while you work, either online or on-campus and have the flexibility to adapt your study to your life.

Apply your knowledge through practical work experience and final year research project, allowing you to use the skills you’ve gained on a project you’re passionate about. 

Previous students have produced projects in the fields of a smart grid for future electricity distribution, micro-grids, energy storage, and the development of test equipment to capture generator transient data and VSD impact on LV power systems and motors.

You have an opportunity to increase your knowledge further and combine your major studies in Power Engineering with a four-unit minor in Management, Data Management, or Geographic Information Systems.

 

Professional experience:

You will need to complete a minimum of 60 days of professional experience for your degree. 

However, many UniSQ students are already employed in industries relevant to their studies and may be able to write up their existing work experience to meet this requirement. 

These experiences provide you with opportunities to put theory into practice.

All students must be able to meet the physical and other professional requirements of practical experience within this program.

 

Professional accreditation:

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program, you will be eligible to apply for graduate membership with Engineers Australia as a Graduate Professional Engineer. 

After gaining experience working in your field in industry, you can apply for Stage 1 Professional Engineer (MIEAust), and after this for chartered status as a Professional Engineer (CPEng); and with extensive career experience Executive Engineer (ExecEng) accreditation. 

You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in the countries that are signatories to the Washington Accord.

When you become an experienced MIEAust, you can apply for RPEQ or other Australian State legislated registration schemes, or as a chartered professional engineer, be similarly accredited (RPEQ etc.) and apply for Australian National Engineering Registration.

 

Recognition of prior learning or work experience:

Suppose you have previously studied in your home country. In that case, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning to reduce the number of courses you need to study to finish your program. 

In that case, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning to reduce the number of courses you must study to finish your program.
