PROGRAMME OUTLINE
This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:
DEGREE YEAR 1 |
Students will understand the basic principles of engineering in the areas of Circuit Analysis, Engineering Materials and Engineering Design. Other modules aim to provide the basic academic skills required to meet the demands of employers, as well as thorough grounding in principles of IT and entrepreneurship. Important and relevant skills for managing activities and for their own independent learning are also introduced.
COMMON MODULES | |
|
|
DEGREE YEAR 2 |
Here, students start specialising in modules that develop the necessary underlying knowledge and skills in Electrical & Electronic Engineering with modules such as Analogue Electronics, Digital Electronics, Electromagnetic Field Theory, Engineering Software & Applications and Signals and Linear Systems. Engineering Mathematics is provided for the better understanding of the engineering modules.
COMMON MODULES | |

ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING MINOR/EXTENSION PATHWAYS
Future Proof Engineers for the Real World
In APU, employment and it’s continual sustainability is of paramount importance to us. The range of minor and extensions offered to all students within the School of Engineering will craft a formidable way forward for the young aspiring engineers of tomorrow. These options allow students to embark on a journey of exploration either within the engineering fraternity by extending into greater depth (extensions) niche knowledge, skills and attributes required for the practice of contemporary engineering or explore wider options (minor) that are pivotal in the fundamental proliferation of the engineering profession as a while when coupled with other current multidisciplinary fields of expertise. Successful completion of either pathways future proof the students allowing them to embark on a journey of rewarding careers within an engineering discipline of their choice.
Minor Pathway – Gain breadth of knowledge by taking 3 set modules outside of a particular major field of study. There are minor packages available undertaken from Year 3 Semester 2 Year 4 Semester 1 and Year 4 Semester 2.
