Electrical and Electronic EngineeringElectrical & Electronic engineers design and create devices and systems that use electrical energy in their operation. These systems can range from massive generators in power stations to minute microcircuits in computers. They can analyse and design circuits, antennas, amplifiers, electric motors, generators or parts of a high voltage distribution system. They could also write software, design, plan, install and manage communications networks, plan and manage projects, or manage people. The Electrical & Electronic Engineering degree provides a strong background in mathematics and physics as well as practical experience in the design and debugging of electrical, electronic and software systems. The academic program embraces telecommunications, control systems, antenna design, signal processing, microprocessors, VLSI chip design, power generation and distribution, and electrical machines. It develops written and oral communication skills, and familiarity with project management and quality control techniques. In the final year of the academic program students can select electives from integrated circuit design, telecommunication systems, communications and signal processing, control systems, power engineering, electromagnetics, or economics. Electrical & Electronic engineers can be employed by government departments and instrumentalities, consulting engineering companies, operators of power generation and distribution systems, manufacturers of electrical drive systems, communications systems, audio, video or other consumer electronic equipment, computers or computer interfaces, automotive manufacturers, software companies, or research organisations. Alternatively they may start their own design or consulting companies.
