The University of Western Australia offers a number of courses leading to a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. These signals may be digital or analogue and may be transmitted over cable, radio or optical fibre media. Related topics include signal encryption, signal processing, decision theory and detection strategies. Power Systems Engineering is a very large field of professional engineering practice in Australia and throughout the world.
Every modern economy depends increasingly on electricity supply.
Expansion of electricity supply throughout most of the Asian countries is now on a massive scale. The major field of expertise in this department is in all aspects of power generation, transmission, distribution and supply and especially computer-aided design and control of large integrated power network systems. Control Engineering deals with automatic means by which the performance of a process or plant is controlled or regulated from measurements of its own response. Feedback control of this kind, and its fundamental concepts, has very wide applications and implications. Control engineers need wide knowledge and the ability to work with specialists in other fields.
