An electrical
engineer is
someone
who designs
and
develops
new
electrical
systems,
solves
problems
and tests
equipment.
They study
and apply
the physics
and
mathematics
of electricity,
electromagn
etism and
electronics
to both large
and small
scale
systems to
process
information
and transmit
energy. The
y work with
all kinds of
electronic
devices,
from the
smallest
pocket
devices to
large
supercomput
ers.
UNSW's
Electrical
Engineering
students
learn
through a
combination
of design
and lab
work. This
mix of theory
and practical
application
allows
students to
visualize
concepts
and then
apply their
ideas in a
variety of
real life
situations.
Students
learn to
analyse and
diagnose
problems
and develop
innovative
solutions.

Electrical
engineers
may work on
a diverse
range of
technologies
, from the
design of
household
appliances,
lighting and
wiring of
buildings,
telecommuni
cation
systems,
electrical
power
stations and
satellite

emerging
field for
electrical
engineers is
microelectro

design and
development
of electrical
systems and

above
industries.
UNSW's
Electrical
Engineering
degree
teaches you
excellent
problem
solving skills
and logical
thinking. The
courses are
structured in
ways that
encourage
analytical
thinking,
help master
time
managemen
t and ensure
students are
technically
proficient.
Because of
this,
electrical
engineers
from UNSW
are in high
demand
