Summary
If you enjoy maths, analysis, and making things work, you might enjoy this electrical engineering course.
As an electrical engineer you could work in planning and development or systems maintenance. Residential construction, pulp and paper, power companies and the defence force all need electrical engineers.
This course is practical and hands-on, with small class sizes and passionate tutors. You'll enjoy one on one support and attention and learn in well-equipped labs. You'll design and interpret technical, electronic instructions. And you'll develop, install, test and maintain the different types of equipment that produce, transmit and use power.
Topics include technical literacy, power generation and sustainable energy. You'll cover electrical and electronic principles and applications too.
Shortages of electrical engineers both here and overseas mean there are strong job prospects for qualified people. This course could be your start.
Upon successfully completing the requirements you'll receive the award of:
