Courses cover traditional electrical areas such as power systems, electronics and signal processing, as well as more specialised areas, including biomedical, computer systems, radio frequency and microwave, software, telecommunications). Projects generally follow the research interests of staff. Current interests include power electronics; problems of power delivery in a deregulated environment; modelling of semiconductor devices; development of sensors for the mining industry; and the automated analysis of pathology slides. This broadly-based program extends graduate career opportunities in telecommunications, electronics, computer hardware, control systems or power systems. Graduates are also employed by companies varying from the large and long-established to small, new start-up companies.
