Details
Electrical engineers design, install and maintain electrical, electronic, telecommunications and computing systems on behalf of government and private companies. A stronger training in mathematics and statistics enhances capabilities in modelling, analysis and design.
Why choose this course?
The program integrates both the electrical engineering and mathematics degrees. Mathematics and engineering have always had close connections, but recent advancements in mathematics and statistics are increasingly being used to help solve complex engineering problems.
Career outcomes
Career outcomes for engineering/mathematics double degree students include working in the power industry, robotics, manufacturing and mining. Career opportunities are also found in the telecommunications industry, transport sector, computer industry and transmission industries. As an electrical engineering graduate you will find employment in service industries, large industrial groups and small innovative private specialist firms. In addition to your knowledge and skills in mathematics you will also be valued for your analytical and problem-solving skills.
Professional recognition
This course has professional accreditation from Engineers Australia (EA). EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord, which permits graduates from accredited member courses to work in various countries across the world. The course also meets the coursework requirements for accredited graduate membership of the Australian Mathematical Society. Students may also become a member of the Statistical Society of Australia.
