Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
About this degree
Upon successful completion of the degree, students should be able to:
- Display systematic knowledge that underpins relevant engineering theory and practice in the technology domain.
- Recognise the social purpose of engineering technology and explain the relationship between human-made products and systems, and community needs.
- Apply well-researched, innovative, industry systems approaches to solve a range of well-defined engineering problems, and to address issues of sustainable practice in diverse environmental, technical and social contexts.
- Apply relevant management skills and design processes within the domain of engineering technologists to enable the delivery of engineering projects within given constraints.
- Make appropriate judgements by critically evaluating evidence, identifying and analysing ethical issues and applying cultural competencies, including those relevant to indigenous peoples.
- Communicate effectively in English and interpret information for diverse audiences using oral, written and technology-based approaches; and apply effective competencies as a leader, team member and individual within the domain of engineering technologists.
- Engage in lifelong learning through reflection, and be accountable for their personal and professional actions by managing and monitoring personal performance.
- The Bachelor of Engineering Technology gives you the opportunity to get hands-on with a range of technologies - including electrical and electronic equipment, measurement equipment, PLCs, microprocessors, power electronics and rotating machines, controllers and the Internet of Things - to prepare you for a broad range of field applications. You’ll gain a thorough understanding of electrical theory, digital and analogue technologies, electrical plant and its control, electronic measurement principles and workshop practices, as well as engineering project management - enabling you to ensure a technological product and its operation are soundly based in theory.
