Unit Set Information

Electrical Major

Effective from 01-JAN-2025 : Code MAAAKS

This major provides students with a core set of relevant technical skills that will enable them to practice at the engineering technologist grade in the electrical engineering field. When students graduate from this unit set, they are expected to have gained an understanding of electrical technology, electronics, instrumentation, power systems and control, and general engineering concepts, which will enable them to contribute to solving problems faced within the electrical engineering industry.

Disclaimer

This unit set information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.

This Major can be studied in the following courses:

• Bachelor of Technology (Engineering)

Mode of Delivery

On Campus at Ecu Sri Lanka, Joondalup

Unit Set Coordinator

A/Prof Alexander RASSAU

Learning Outcomes

1. Demonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the electrical engineering discipline.
2. Think critically, and apply established engineering methods and research skills to broadly defined electrical engineering problems.
3. Apply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage small-scale projects in the electrical engineering domain, with some intellectual independence.
4. Demonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the electrical engineering discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques, tools and resources.
5. Demonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in technical and lay domains.
6. Demonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the electrical engineering discipline, including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competence.
7. Demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct, sustainable practice and professional accountability.
8. Demonstrate responsibility for own learning, professional judgement and an understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in the electrical engineering domain.
