Squiz University — Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineering at Squiz University covers the generation, transmission, and use of electrical energy, plus the design of circuits, electronics, and communications systems. Students learn how signals and power move through networks — from microcontrollers and sensors to grid infrastructure and wireless links.
The degree is offered at both the Sydney and Melbourne campuses. The first two years build shared foundations in mathematics, physics, circuit theory, and digital systems. Later years branch into power systems, electronics, signal processing, embedded systems, and telecommunications.
Duration: Four years full-time (or part-time equivalent).
Entry: Year 12 mathematics and physics are strongly recommended. Bridging subjects are available in the first semester for students who need them.
Practical work: Electronics labs, power-bench sessions, and an industry placement in the third year give students time on real instruments and site problems.

Year 1: Engineering mathematics, physics, circuit theory, digital systems, and programming for engineers.
Year 2: Electronics, electromagnetics, signals and systems, microprocessors, and power fundamentals.
Year 3: Power systems, communications, control, embedded systems, and an industry placement.
Year 4: Advanced electives (renewables, RF, automation), PCB and instrumentation labs, and a final-year design project.
Graduates move into energy utilities, telecommunications, electronics manufacturing, automation, defence, and consulting. Typical titles include graduate electrical engineer, power systems engineer, embedded systems engineer, and network engineer. Pathways include Chartered status, specialist master’s study, or research.
