Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Power) Honours

Edith Cowan University

Electrical power engineering is a wellestablished engineering discipline encompassing electrical power generation transmission and distribution The course provides broad coverage across a range of core electrical and electronic subjects leading to more indepth studies of power systems including generation transmission and protection as well as power electronics electromechanical systems industrial control and renewable energy The program focuses on the development of knowledge and skills relevant to professional engineering practice and along with a sound theoretical base includes strong elements of practical problem solving team work and project development As a result as well as having multiple technical and transferable skill competencies graduates will gain strong analytical skills and have the ability to lead complex projectsCourse learning outcomesDemonstrate advanced knowledge of the underpinning natural and physical sciences and in depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the electrical power engineering disciplineThink critically and apply established engineering methods and research skills to complex electrical power engineering problem solvingApply systematic engineering synthesis and design processes to conduct and manage electrical power engineering projects with some intellectual independenceDemonstrate conceptual understanding of the mathematics numerical analysis statistics and computer and information sciences which underpin the electrical power engineering discipline and fluently apply engineering techniques tools and resourcesDemonstrate clear and coherent oral and written communication in professional and lay domainsDemonstrate a global outlook and knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline including respect for cultural diversity and indigenous cultural competenceDemonstrate effective team membership and team leadership to implement engineering projects according to relevant standards of ethical conduct sustainable practice and professional accountabilityDemonstrate responsibility for own learning professional judgement and an understanding of the scope principles norms accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice
