Title of the Programme
The programme shall be master of engineering in electrical engineering MEng. (EE)
Background
Electrical engineers combine their creativity with scientific knowledge to develop new ideas and technological innovations. Professionals with an electrical engineering master’s degree often work with with electricity, technology, and systems design. Students have a variety of specialization options and can focus on their passions. Graduates with a master’s in electrical engineering design, create, and test new technologies and may work with circuits, motors, renewable energy sources, or communication systems.
Justification
Electrical Engineering deals about applied electrical technology. It is a complex and dynamic discipline ranging from microelectronics through electromagnetism to high-power technology, from development of tomorrow’s information technology to automation and instrumentation of complex industrial processes. Electronic engineers have for decades revolutionized our ordinary day. The concept “high tech” is largely based on innovations in the field of electrical engineering. Within the range of this discipline, you have the opportunity to learn to master a diverse range of skills.
- Renewable energy
- Stability and reliability in power systems
- Operation, control and economics in power systems
- Power electronics and electric motor drives
- Control theory
The Master program will provide you a solid understanding of areas such as computer engineering, signal processing, control engineering, power electronics, microprocessor technology and programming, mechatronics and electric motor drives and electromagnetism. You will also work in practical, industry-related project, which provides additional opportunity for academic study. Both the projects and the final thesis is usually performed in cooperation with companies. This gives you the unique opportunity to get in contact with a possible future employer.
The value of a graduate-level engineering degree is especially great for computer and electrical engineers, where there is strong industry demand for well-trained professionals with knowledge of both traditional and emerging topics in the field. In a profession that prides itself on high performance, computer and electrical engineering employers are looking for candidates with a potent combination of technical, problem-solving, and communication.
The targeted group includes holders of:
Applicants must have completed a UTS recognized bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.Bachelor’s in Engineering and other related Science and Technology fields.It is a requirement that the bachelor’s degree be in engineering or the natural and physical sciences, with no more than 25 per cent of subjects failed.
General Objectives
Electrical engineers are designers and problem-solvers. They tackle large-scale electrical challenges, develop innovative technologies and improve the quality of modern life. You will learn how to design the components of a power system including generation, transmission, distribution and the associated systems. The program will also cover the automation, protection and control components that contribute to the high level of reliability expected from modern power systems.
Specific Objectives
Our Master of Engineering (Electrical) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. You will:
- practise modelling, analysing and operating electric energy systems
- build communication and project management skills
- gain advanced understandings in mathematics and systems engineering
- pursue specialist topics—from power quality and fault diagnostics to distributed generation technologies
- undertake a significant research project.
Duration of the Programme:
This course is offered on a Two-year (Four semesters), full-time or online basis for students with a UTS-recognised bachelor’s degree in engineering or the natural and physical sciences.
