Master of Engineering in Electrical Systems Engineering Institute of Technology - Brisbane Campus, Australia

The Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems), developed by electrical and renewable energy experts, will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to address the demands of the modern power industry. You will learn how to design the components of a power system including generation, transmission, distribution and the associated systems. The program will also cover the automation, protection and control components that contribute to the high level of reliability expected from modern power systems.

Program Learning Outcomes
Graduates of this program will be able to:

1. Demonstrate sound fundamental understanding of the scientific and engineering principles and apply underpinning natural, physical and engineering sciences, mathematics, statistics, computer and information sciences to solve problems in electrical systems engineering.
2. Apply in-depth as well as broad understanding of the relevant specialist body of knowledge within the electrical systems engineering discipline including: fundamental power generation and power system design principles; evaluation power system safety and protection; assessing smart grids; power stability and operational analysis; substation automation and systematic project management.
3. Reflect critically on a broad body of engineering knowledge to plan and execute an electrical systems engineering research based project, with awareness to knowledge development and research direction within the engineering discipline.
4. Draw on the knowledge of engineering design practice and understand the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of sustainable engineering practice in the electrical systems engineering discipline.
5. Apply systematic approaches, design processes and established engineering methods, tools, techniques and resources, underpinned by hazard and risk framework considerations to conduct and manage electrical systems engineering projects.
6. Communicate effectively technical ideas, design concepts or research results to a diverse audience.
7. Ability to recognise and pro-actively engage in ongoing professional development and lifelong learning, as well as develop creative and innovative solutions to engineering problems.
8. Demonstrate professional use and management of information.
9. Apply discipline and professional knowledge and skills to demonstrate autonomy, adaptability and responsibility as a professional engineer.
10. Ability to work as a member of a cross disciplinary team in a manner consistent with ethical and professional standards.
