Master of Engineering (Electronics)
Digital innovations are transforming the electronics industry. Engineers need specialised skills in electronics to help meet the demand for disruptive technology. Developed in consultation with industry leaders, La Trobe's Master of Engineering (Electronics) is designed to prepare you for the challenges of our future workforce.
You'll develop specialised knowledge in emerging technologies, including robotic technologies and Industry 4.0, wide applications of signal processing and control algorithms, and machine intelligence in embedded systems. A focus on sustainable engineering practices will show you how to align future projects with environmental regulations and standards. Build hands-on skills using Altium, Vivado, MATLAB, LabView and other design systems. Immerse yourself in real-world learning through our Centre for Technology Infusion.
Our six-month Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program gives you 800 hours of industry experience working in an engineering company or related-industry employer of electrical engineers, including partners like BMW, Audi, Siemens, the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and Fortis.
Alternatively, you could join a research team on an advanced engineering project. You'll build industry connections and see how engineering is practiced first-hand. A A$10 000 scholarship is also available for eligible students to support your study.1
Graduate with the skills and knowledge to design intelligent engineering solutions to the challenges of the future.
You'll learn:
- Engineering management
- Build your engineering management skills across business strategy, legal, marketing, management and finance to lead projects, motivate teams and drive success.
- Design and innovation
- Address engineering challenges through research, ideation and revolutionary product design.
- Risk analysis
