Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering; Department of Electronic Engineering | La Trobe University

In today’s world, modern electronics have made possible sophisticated instruments and gadgets for use in all branches of the physical and biological sciences including sustainable energy production, as well as in most areas of engineering and manufacturing. Students can specialise in sustainable engery production as part of the Electronic Engineering degree.

 

 The topic of global sustainability has come into sharp focus as global warming and climate change threaten our existence. This specialization examines zero emissions power generation technologies such as photovoltaic, wind, hydro-electric, wave and hot rock. It also examines conversion technologies, such as inverters for DC to AC, transmission line and other communications technologies for the implementation of power management strategies and management issues as they relate to the rapidly expanding renewable energy industry in Australia.
