Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) - Perth

On-Campus - Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems) (MEEOC) (0100462)

This Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems) program, designed by leading experts in electrical and renewable energy, equips students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in the modern power industry.

The curriculum covers the design of power system components, including generation, transmission, distribution, and associated systems. It also delves into automation, protection, and control, crucial for ensuring the reliability of modern power systems.

Addressing the growing need for skilled engineers in the rapidly expanding renewable energy sector, this program integrates both traditional power system operation and renewable system integration. Students will explore wind and solar energy as centralized and distributed sources, and analyze the impact of renewable integration on existing power systems.

Energy storage within microgrids and larger utility systems is also a key focus. Students will learn data-driven approaches using artificial intelligence and machine learning in smart grids, including the application of smart meters. The program also includes a comprehensive section on project management, providing the skills needed to effectively manage power generation, transmission, and distribution projects.

The program culminates in a Project Thesis, a significant research component requiring personal autonomy and accountability. This capstone project allows students to apply their knowledge and skills creatively, critically evaluate current industry practices, and contribute to advancements in electrical engineering.
