Curtin University
Gain expertise in electrical and electronic engineering through a comprehensive program covering electricity generation, digital design, control systems, and instrumentation. Ideal for students seeking careers in power systems, automation, telecommunications, and renewable energy industries.
Applicants must meet Curtin University's entry requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree. High school students can apply via TISC (Tertiary Institutions Service Centre) for Semester 1 intake. International students must meet English language requirements and can apply through designated pathways. Prior knowledge in mathematics and physics is typically expected for engineering programs. Specific prerequisites vary depending on the degree pathway chosen (standard Bachelor of Engineering, or double degrees with Commerce, Innovation, or Science).
The major comprises eight or more units completed as part of a degree, with at least two units in the final year. Core areas of study include electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems; digital design and electronic systems; control systems and instrumentation; and renewable and sustainable energy solutions. Students undertake two major capstone projects: a research project allowing specialization in an area of interest, and an integrated design project applying knowledge to real-world engineering challenges. The curriculum emphasizes research methodology, design methodology, project management, sustainable design principles, technical reporting, and professional work presentations. Students have flexibility to pursue additional specializations to deepen knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering or broaden expertise in other disciplines.
Curtin University ranks in the top 1% of universities globally (ARWU 2025 ranking) and is recognized for excellence in engineering education. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is accredited by Engineers Australia and recognized internationally, including accreditation in Malaysia by the Board of Engineers Malaysia. Curtin's dedicated Engineering pavilion features industry-modeled facilities with first-year studios and project rooms reflecting professional industry settings. The university emphasizes practical, hands-on learning through lab experiments, group work, internship opportunities, and exciting projects like robotics competitions, ensuring graduates are job-ready with both technical expertise and professional skills.
Graduates of this program are well-positioned for diverse career opportunities in rapidly growing industries. As industries become increasingly digitized and automated, electrical and electronic engineers are increasingly valued. Career paths include roles as electrical or electronics engineers, automation engineers, control engineers, power or grid engineers, instrumentation engineers, design engineers, and project engineers. Employment opportunities span electrical power generation and distribution, solar and renewable energy, manufacturing and processing, communications, computer systems, aviation and aerospace, mining and resources, automotive, defence, and urban infrastructure sectors. The combination of technical expertise and practical project experience prepares graduates to lead innovation in power systems, embedded systems, automation, and telecommunications.
