Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

Enhance your electrical knowledge

Ride the wave of the technological era with USQ’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic). With the opportunity to study via distance education or on campus, you will have the flexibility to adapt your study to your life.

Why Electrical?

Study the areas of analogue and digital computer engineering, work with rotating machines and drives and apply your knowledge through practical work experience and an exciting final year research project that will give you hands-on industry experience. Previous students have produced projects in the fields of properties of a nickel laminated magnetostrictive ultrasonic transducer, water electrolysis, biometric analysis and grid-connected solar photovoltaic systems.
