Electronics Subject regulations
Electronics is the science and technology concerned with the controlled flow of electrons and other carriers of electric charge. It covers theory, design, and construction of electronic devices, circuits, instruments, or systems.
To complete the previously offered major in Electronics for the BSc, students must gain 135 points in Electronics papers, including ENGEN111, PHYSC101, ENGEE231, ENGEE232, ENGEE233, 15 points from COMPX203, ENGEE211 and ENGEE280; and a minimum of 45 points of Electronics papers at 300 level.
Further information regarding papers, staff and research details is contained in brochures available from the Division of STEM.
There will be no new enrolments into the Electronics major. Students who commenced the major in 2018 or prior, should contact the Division of STEM for advice. A specified programme in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is available for the BE(Hons).
Other qualifications
Prescriptions for:
-
GradCert(Elec) and GradDip(Elec) A Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma are available to graduates who have not included Electronics at an advanced level in their first degree.
For further details, contact the Division of STEM.
-
PGCert(Elec), PGDip(Elec), MSc[1], and MSc(Res)[1] Students in masters degrees are normally required to take a thesis and a selection of papers. Up to 30 points of the level 500 COMPX papers listed below can contribute to the major in Electronics. Candidates for these graduate qualifications should select their papers in consultation with the Head of School.
NOTE:
[1] From 2025, the MSc in Electronics and MSc(Research) in Electronics will no longer be offered.
-
MEngPrac Students completing a Master of Engineering Practice are required to take a research project and a selection of papers. To complete a MEngPrac in Electronics, students must complete 180 points at 500 level, including ENGEE506; up to 30 points from EXMBM511, EXMBM512, EXMBM513, EXMBM514, EXMBM521, EXMBM522, EXMBM523, EXMBM524, EXMBM532 and EXMBM533; up to 90 points from COMPX527, COMPX532, ENGEE523, ENGEE532, ENGEN561, ENGEN583, ENGEN584, ENGEN585, ENGEN586, ENGEN587, ENGEN588, ENGME585 and ENGMT558; as well as 60 points from ENGEN508.

MPhil The Master of Philosophy is a one year research-based degree in which students undertake a programme of approved and supervised research that leads to a thesis which critically investigates an approved topic of substance and significance, demonstrates expertise in the methods of research and scholarship, displays intellectual independence and makes a substantial original contribution to the subject area concerned, and is of publishable quality.
-
PhD The Doctor of Philosophy is a three year research-based degree in which students undertake a programme of approved and supervised research that leads to a thesis which critically investigates an approved topic of substance and significance, demonstrates expertise in the methods of research and scholarship, displays intellectual independence and makes a substantial original contribution to the subject area concerned, and is of publishable quality.
