About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Power) Honours at Edith Cowan University in Perth is a four-year degree that prepares students to design, implement, and maintain electrical power systems. Across eight semesters, students engage with topics such as circuit analysis, power generation and transmission, renewable energy systems, and smart grid technologies. Later stages focus on advanced areas like high-voltage engineering, power electronics, and protection systems.

Each year is structured around units of study, with credit points assigned according to the Australian system. Students can expect to develop strong analytical and problem-solving abilities by tackling real-world projects and laboratory exercises. The inclusion of a final-year honours thesis or capstone project allows students to undertake research or development work, often in collaboration with industry partners.

Work-integrated learning is a key feature, with professional practice placements providing experience in Australian energy utilities, engineering consultancies, or infrastructure projects. This hands-on approach gives graduates exposure to current industry standards and practices.

The course suits those interested in electrical infrastructure, energy supply, and technological innovation. It meets the educational requirements for membership with Engineers Australia, helping prepare students for graduate positions as professional engineers. International students should check the official ECU site for admission requirements and further details, including English language entry and visa-related work rights while studying.
