Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineers are concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy within homes, the community and industry. Areas of interest for Electrical Engineers include drive systems, power generation and distribution,industrial automation systems and measurement and sensing systems.
|
 |
Software Engineering
Software engineers build large, complex software systems for application in areas such as commerce, engineering, government and research. Software engineering is closely related to computer science but is directed more towards the development of software systems rather than the theories and principles of computing.
|
 |
Telecommunications
Telecommunications engineering is the science of designing, implementing and managing telecommunications hardware, software and systems for processing and transmitting information. Telecommunications engineers design and develop solutions in areas such as computer networking, broadcasting and wireless communications to bring about changes within industry and society at large.
