Electrical and Aerospace Engineering combines a full single major in Electrical Engineering with additional specialist study and specialist project work in the aerospace and aviation industry.
Electrical engineers design, build, operate and maintain much of our electronics and energy infrastructure - things like the Internet, home theatre entertainment systems, mobile phones, digital cameras and television, medical imaging systems; electrical appliances for homes; scientific instruments for laboratories; lasers for reliable high speed communication; satellite systems for remote sensing of the environment; and reliable mobile and fixed energy systems to power all of these. In addition to this, avionics and aerospace students are specifically equipped with extra skills to design the electronics in modern aircraft and airport systems.

This dual major prepares students to design cutting-edge electronics products for the aviation industry, and also with all the skills to service other parts of the information and communication industries. Strong emphasis is given to practical, hands-on experience with high technology equipment. Students are equipped to work as electrical and electronics engineers in the aerospace industries - airlines, defence, airports, and aircraft manufacture. Students are also equipped to work in traditional electrical engineering.
