This specialisation is designed for students interested in pursuing a career in the renewable energy or electrical power industry. The Master of Engineering (Electrical and Renewable Energy) is intended to provide graduates with strong competencies in the fundamental electrical engineering discipline areas with a complementary focus on the utilisation, generation, management and design of renewable energy resources. The course provides broad coverage across a range of core electrical power subjects, leading to more in-depth studies relating to renewable energy systems. As with all of the School’s engineering programs, the Electrical and Renewable Energy program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base, includes strong elements of practical problem solving, team work and project development. As a result, as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies, graduates will gain strong analytical skills, and have the ability to lead complex projects.
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.
