Electrical engineering
Electrical engineers work on a wide range of components, devices and systems, from tiny microchips to huge power station generators. The demand for renewable energy generation and storage, and the use of sophisticated information technology for monitoring and management, has never been greater.
Macquarie's electrical engineering program will provide you with the unique combination of skills you’ll need to design and operate future electrical energy systems within the context of existing electric power systems.
