莫道克大学

As the demand for sustainable technology increases, electrical power engineers are expected to play an increasingly important role in our society’s future.

In this course you’ll explore power systems, including power generators and motors, power electronics, transmission and distribution systems, and power systems operation. You’ll learn how to effectively design and plan smart power systems to increase the reliability and stability of power supply, and develop models for an interconnected power system to analyse different fault conditions.

A final honours year is embedded in this degree, meaning you’ll be able to apply everything you learn in your first three years of study.

If you’re unable to gain entry into this course, you can apply for the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology and transfer across to this major at the end of your first year of study.
