You will build a solid foundation in the core areas of electric power engineering: high-voltage technology, electrical machines and drive systems, power electronics, and electric power systems. These courses cover theory and application, from small components up to grid-level infrastructure. Battery energy storage, an increasingly critical area due to the global rollout of renewable energy and electric vehicles, is also included. Sustainable development is also a key theme throughout, and gets addressed in every course. Throughout, you will combine theory and analysis with hands-on, practical work in laboratory environments. Mastering industry standard tools like SPICE, MATLAB, and finite element methods, you will gain experience with the diverse types of equipment, components, and measurement instruments used in the field. These laboratory exercises also include training in electrical safety, risk assessment and safe working procedures. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
