electrical engineering + power major (1 Viewer)

[aditya]

Hey i got an interview with energy australia for electrical engineering... but now im not sure if i want to just major in power engineering :| i dunt think they let you do a double degree... which is crap, or even allow for flexibility in your electives... i saw the website for eet at unsw and well... only 5 electives :S are the electives REALLY broad? like 2 electives = 1 specialisation (evven though they're like 5 in each)???

and what brand of specialisastion does photonics come under?

i like electrical engineering when its to do with electronics, developing new technologies or developing solutions for companies on a consulting basis, that would give me great satisfaction... but i dunt think taht is possible AT ALL with an electrcial engineering degree ajroing in power energy :| like ddistribution and stuff...



PLEASE ANY INFO ON ELECXTRIALCA ENGINEERING + ENERGY AUS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRA WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!

thanks

hey i went to one of these interviews last year after the hsc and they basically abused me cause i didn't apply for any of the uni scholarships!!! but basically study heaps on all theinfo about the scolarship, how much it is worth, how long it last, etc.. and on energy australia, such as where they supply power to and exactly what they have done, but appart from that u should have no probs with any electrical problems that they ask.

good luck

It is possible to do professional electives related to Energy System in your 4th year.

ENERGY SYSTEMS

ELEC4205 Electrical Energy Systems - S1 (6UOC, 4hrs)(Pre: ELEC3005)
ELEC4216 Electrical Drive Systems - S2 (6UOC, 4hrs)(Pre: ELEC3005)
ELEC4240 Power Electronics- S1 (6UOC, 4hrs) (Pre: ELEC3006)
SOLA3540 Applied Photovoltaics- S1 (6UOC, 4hrs) (Pre:ELEC3005)

There are no majors (as far as I know) within electrical engineering, just professional electives.

yeah i got the interview too...how many people do you believe got the interview for this?
Plus - i have the same vision in electrical engineering as aditya...power energy? hmmm - im not sure if that has any flexibility.

in any case - im going to the interviews anyways.

any info would be appreciated about this course / scholarship.

are you? but y? its 5 years and ur going to be a power engineer, and its in homebush ....

my advice for you is not to choose ur major too early.. if u start to regret taking it,you may be stuck with it for the rest of the course!!

hehe the guy from the engineering interview called me 2dai he goes "u had an interview today" i was like err did i... that was in my head but i covered for myself i hope i go "i thought i left a message" hahahah hope noone got into trouble... the guy seemed kinda upset.... .its shit though there is no freedom watsoever, unless ur dead set sure on it... and electrical engineering is one of the hardest courses as well.... so yehr
