Master of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic)

at Flinders University

The program provides a balance of advanced theoretical knowledge and associated project work.  As well as core topics in electrical and electronic engineering students choose one of three areas of further specialisation:

• Advanced electrical engineering,
• Advanced electronic engineering, or
• Robotics and computer vision.
   

Study areas include areas such as systems engineering; engineering management; control systems; electrical and electronic circuits and machines; sensors and actuators; signal processing; engineering management and innovation; and a research project undertaken as part of an active research team. Students also spend time in industry practising what they have learnt.
 

High achieving graduates from this program can apply to continue to do a PhD.
