Overview

  • Be a part of the future of power engineering and gain the experience to work in major corporations with UniSQ’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Power Engineering).
  • Study while you work, either online or on-campus, and have the flexibility to adapt your study to your life.
  • Apply your knowledge through practical work experience and final year research project, allowing you to use the skills you’ve gained on a project you’re passionate about. Previous students have produced projects in the fields of a smart grid for future electricity distribution, micro-grids, energy storage the development of test equipment for the capture of generator transient data and VSD impact on LV power system and motors.
  • Choose to fast-track through the degree by enrolling full-time in courses in every study period, spread a part-time course load across the full year, or keep a trimester free for work experience or personal commitments.
  • Experience the flexibility of studying either on-campus or online while receiving the relevant practical skills needed via residential school courses to graduate career-ready.

Professional accreditation

As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program, you will be eligible to apply for graduate membership with as a Graduate Professional Engineer. After gaining experience working in your field in industry, you can apply for Stage 1 Professional Engineer (MIEAust), and after this for chartered status as a Professional Engineer (CPEng); and with extensive career experience Executive Engineer (ExecEng) accreditation. You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in the countries that are signatories to the Washington Accord.

When you become an experienced MIEAust, you can apply for RPEQ or other Australian State legislated registration schemes, or as a chartered professional engineer be similarly accredited (RPEQ etc.) and apply for Australian National Engineering Registration.

Career outcomes

  • You will be prepared to take on the challenges of modern power engineering with practical experience working with transformers, transmission lines and rotating machines. You can apply your skills to companies in the mining, coal seam gas and electronic industries as an Electrical Power Engineer in the fields of electricity supply, distribution and protection, generation, transportation and solar and renewable industries.
