What is a Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Electrical Engineering) at USYD?
USYD的电气工程从电路到汽车，在各种大小的不同系统中使用电力。在本课程中，学生学习the scientific foundations of what electrical devices need and are taught how to solve problems in different electronic systems!
如果您一直对电力感到好奇，how to design and create systems that require it，这对您来说可能是一个很棒的学位！
荣誉
在学习的最后一年，USYD的电气工程整合了荣誉计划，学生完成两个论文，同时还完成其剩余的专业选修课。
Double Degree Options
This course不需要再研究。然而，students can choose to study Electrical Engineering with the following degrees:
Career Paths
The main career and most obvious pathway for this degree is becoming an电气工程师。然而，based on a graduate’s specialisation, they can diversify into careers包含：
-
- 电力传输和生成系统工程师
- 行业电源工程师
- Computer hardware designer
- Consultant
- 专案经理
Core Units and Specialisations
There are two types of core units:工程核心和电气芯！
工程核心单元教授任何工程学科所需的所有基础知识，包括单个和多变量演算，线性代数，统计。
The Electrical Core units teach the了解后来的专业单元以及了解电气工程的基础所必需的基本知识（物理，电子，编程等）。这些单元包括：
The multiple physics unitshelp students understand the principles behind the physical objects electrical engineers make。他们在学位的第一年和第二年进行了研究。
Similarly, the Electronic Units,电气和电子工程师的基础ingandElectronic Devices and Circuits,introduces students to circuit analysis as well as key electrical devices (BJTs and Mosfets).Data Structures & Algorithms介绍学生使用编程来有效地解决问题。
Specialisations
There arefive specialisations to choose fromin Electrical Engineering at USyd:
AComputer Engineeringspecialisation focuses the student’s knowledge of Electrical Engineering into areas of高级计算机系统，计算机科学和计算机网络。The specialisation is mainly taught in基于计算机的教程，也将学生的技能分散到Software Engineering。
AnIntelligent Information Engineering专业化教给学生最新的技术，例如smart cities, advanced manufacturing, automatic driving and 5G。在此专业化中，重点介绍了多媒体和感觉信号处理。
工作经验
在课程的最后一年，有一个integrated engineering work experience where students must complete a minimum of 200 hours working at a firm of their choice。This is part of the Professional Engagement Program.
How to Get into Electrical Engineering at USYD
USYD电气工程的ATAR截止92，并且没有其他评估。
假设知识
The assumed knowledge for the course isHSC Mathematics Extension 1 and Physics.虽然研究这些主题并不是强制性的，但是USyd recommends taking a bridging courseto gain the foundational knowledge for this degree.
Alternate Pathways
除了达到ATAR截止日期以外，还有其他进入途径。当前的USYD学生可以选择从类似程度转移到电气工程, such as a Bachelor of Science.
奖学金
Prospective students should definitely look into scholarships as well!
对于女性申请人，电气和信息工程学院多样性奖学金offer a lump sum of $15000. The requisite is that they have achieveda minimum ATAR of 95 or above.
More generally, theSydney Scholars Awardoffers $6000 to outstanding12年级的学生获得了95至99.85的ATAR。
什么是教学格式？
USYD的电气工程isstudied in semestersand in a combination of讲座，教程和实践。
Class Structure
Lectures
Lectures are generally attended byupwards of 20students通常是1-2 hours long。They provide the general content and understanding of the unit whereby thelecture speakers mainly explain the basics; however, it’s more than likely that students will use various resources to learn, not just the lectures.
Tutorials
Tutorials have upwards of10 to 15 students参加他们。这些课是学生将他们的解决问题的技能应用于物理问题，数学问题和概念at a theoretical level.
Tutes push students to think outside the box and分析文献解决新的和具有挑战性的问题。他们是also usually1-2 hours long.
Practicals
Practicals are generally mandatory classes with around20 to 30 peopleattending— though, this depends on how many people do the unit. As the name suggests, they arehands-on classes where students get to work with different types of electrical systems.
他们是generallyheld in the laboratory or computer rooms.实践是较长的课程通常过去3个小时。
Contact Hours
由于研究电气工程需要实际工作，expect to spend 15 hours or more per weekattending the classes!
Assessments
The main assessments are in the form ofweekly assessments, mid-semester assessments and final exams.
Each week, students will complete测验和实验室报告来自他们的实践。这些确保学生理解课堂内容and so, these assessments are very low in weighting.Weekly quizzes are around 1%, and lab reports are approximately 2-5%.
During the semester, students usually are assessed on a重15-20％的实验室考试。这也增强了学生在及时的时间表中准确地进行工作的知识和能力。
最后，final exams are sit-in exams around 60%并专注于学生解决问题和计算技能。如此大的加权，他们consolidate all of the unit content，而且通常会有一些问题会挑战和推断一般内容。
Skills That You Refine and Learn
USYD优化电气工程的前三名技能是：
-
- 分析
- Laboratory
- Problem-solving
分析skills are sharpened by应用物理学，微积分，科学方法论和其他数学概念的基础知识来了解电气系统以及学生选择的专业化中的其他架构。例如，智能信息工程专业化将提供多媒体和感觉信号处理的分析技能。
由于实践是每周课程的一部分，因此电气工程毕业生将获得proficient laboratory skills and the technical knowledge on how to use toolsand different methods in the laboratory safely.
Lastly, Electrical Engineering graduates will develop an eye for解决问题并应用有效的策略来解决问题。这些will include routine methods as well as innovative ideas in the context of electrical engineering systems!
What’s the Faculty and Culture Like?
Faculty and Cohort
For Hussam, he has found that教师通常非常支持和乐于助人。如果需要澄清任何东西，以及需要额外的帮助，他们会不断鼓励伸出援手。
尽管该设施目前正在翻新，但the faculty still ensures that each class has all the essentials needed进行有效的学习。
Engineering students have been some of the nicest people Hussam has ever met，所有新学生将永远受到张开双臂的欢迎。他们是非常支持，只要您需要帮助，他们就会始终与您合作。
Sparksoc
Sparksocis the main Electrical Engineering Society and is针对新的一年级电气工程专业学生的明确建议。The society holds networking nights specifically for aspiring Electrical Engineers that allow students to interact with industry representatives.
Sparksocalso has电气工程技能的各种讲习班，例如，低级编程。这使学生有机会diversify their skillset and learn something fun and new.
There arevarious social events,例如允许成员见面的游戏之夜。Sparksoc也是renowned for their free food events!
