Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Mathematics

At the University of Newcastle, our Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) combined with Bachelor of Mathematics dives deep into hands-on experiential learning, where you'll tackle real-world challenges right from your professional practice courses and build practical skills through industry-connected projects. You'll gain essential technical expertise in areas like power systems, renewable energy, and control systems, while sharpening your maths edge with a final-year capstone project partnering with industry on authentic problems—all backed by 12 weeks of mandatory industrial experience to network and apply what you've learned in real workplaces. This setup ensures you're not just studying theory; you're engineering solutions that matter, with 92% of our engineering grads employed within four months.

Here's how our program equips you with top-tier practical tools and opportunities:
- 12 weeks of industrial experience: Complete it as one block or shorter placements to build professional networks and test your skills on the job—standard for all our engineering students.
- Final-year mathematics capstone project: Team up with industry on a real-world maths-focused challenge, honing problem-solving in electrical engineering contexts.
- Professional practice courses: Four core courses develop teamwork, project management, sustainability, and critical thinking through applied scenarios.
- Lab work, field trips, seminars, and workshops: Participate to boost your analytical and communication skills, especially in combined engineering-science pathways that align with this program.
- Collaborative project environments: Like our robotics projects where electrical and electronic engineering students design and test innovations, such as mind-controlled prosthetic hands, at Demo Day.
- State-of-the-art laboratories: Cutting-edge labs immerse you in practical learning tailored to electrical engineering challenges.

This combination sets you up for an exciting career—imagine leading in renewable energy or automation with maths precision. Ready to apply? Check out our full facilities list here: https://www.newcastle.edu.au/our-uni/campuses-facilities
