The future presents significant challenges to those responsible for managing the environment, infrastructure and technological developments. Effective solutions to these challenges will require innovative engineering, applied science and design strategies. At the University of Western Sydney, we prepare students to take on those challenges and succeed.
The UWS Engineering Program is all about the application of knowledge to achieve practical outcomes. It covers all major engineering domains, and you can experience many facets of engineering before deciding your area of specialisation at the end of first year.
When specialising in Electrical Engineering, you will be working on electronic components, computers, power generation and distribution systems, as well as in communications and control.
