Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT)

Perth , WestPerth ,Australia

Master Of Engineering (Electrical Systems)

The ever increasing demand for electricity, the rising costs of power generation and a shortage of skilled electrical engineers are challenges faced worldwide. Expanding economies and populations require an adequate and uninterrupted supply of electrical power. This places enormous pressure on power industries; they need to competently fuel this growing demand cost-effectively. The greater challenge, however, is the scarcity of skilled personnel to design, operate and maintain the power networks.

The program presents renewable energy options to address the environmental issues posed by fossil fuel power plants. The section on project management provides the skills required for effective management of power generation, transmission and distribution projects.

A note regarding recognition of this program in the Australian education system: EIT is the owner of this program. The qualification is officially accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). EIT delivers this program to students worldwide.
