Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours) / Master of Engineering Management

Take part in a combination that allows high-achieving students to complete a program which combines Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Engineering Management in only five years. The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) (Honours)/Master of Engineering Management is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer and is recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.

This double degree has been designed to provide a strong understanding of the systematic development of electrical and electronic engineering systems, combining the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and other STEM disciplines with the organisational, administrative, and planning abilities of business and management disciplines. Students will be able to choose from 3 majors: Advanced Electrical Engineering, Advanced Electronic Engineering, and Electronic Systems and Security. Within these majors, students will develop both the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to design and build electrical and electronic systems and devices at our world-class facilities in the technology precinct at Tonsley.

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering component of this degree is a comprehensive degree providing both a theoretical and a practical basis of electrical and electronic systems, and allows students to specialise in one of four areas; electrical engineering, electronic engineering, computer and network systems or systems and security. The Engineering Management component combines the problem-solving and technical design ability of engineering with executive organisational skills and the planning power of business and management.

Nuclear Engineering Major

A Nuclear Engineering major is also offered in this degree. Nuclear engineering at Flinders University is offered through a tri-nation academic partnership between Flinders University (Australia), the University of Rhode Island (United States) and Manchester University (United Kingdom. An exchange option is available in the United States through a placement opportunity. Nuclear engineering topics are undertaken in intensive mode over 8 days in summer (January) and winter (July) from Year 2. To be eligible to study this major applicants must be an Australian citizen.

Practical experience

This degree provides students with the opportunity to gain first-hand industry experience with a 20-week industry placement as part of their degree. One of the longest work placements offered in Australia, it enables students to work alongside professional engineers tackling real-world problems. This degree also includes the ability to undertake a substantial research-oriented project.

Your career

On completion of the Bachelor component, and subject to meeting minimum academic requirements, students will progress to the Masters component of the double degree where students will be provided with advanced-level theoretical aspects and the practical skills of professional engineering management that builds on a student's previous knowledge and experience.

The double degree aims to prepare graduates for a career as a professional engineer and have the skills and knowledge to manage complex electrical and electronic engineering enterprises.
