Course overview
The Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics) provides students with the skills and knowledge to plan, design and build the electronic circuitry that is integral to so many high technology applications.
You will study:
- fundamental science and engineering topics including digital and analog electronics, computer programming, mathematics and physics
- topics dealing with a variety of areas including microprocessors, signal processing, and motor and actuators.
The final year provides scope to take electives in computer science and engineering. It also includes a major research project.
We have developed close relationships with a number of private sector and government organisations and all students undertake Flinders' nationally recognised 20 week industry placement.

What is Electronic Engineering?
Electronics is the enabling technology for today's society. It is embedded in most facets of life ranging from consumer goods to the sophisticated instrumentation used in electronic circuits, electronic devices, telecommunications and computer systems. Electronics engineering is founded in a field previously known as electrical engineering.
Why study Electronics Engineering at Flinders?
- All our Engineering awards have been designed in close collaboration with industry in order to meet future development needs. Students gain specialist knowledge in key areas and an integrated tool kit of skills that will enable them to meet the technical criteria required by industry and to engage professionally with on-going technical developments.
- A distinctive feature of our Engineering awards is the nationally recognised industry placement program. More than 100 local, national and international organisations support the program, which provides students with 20 weeks of structured industrial work experience.
Students complete their final year of study having already gained a first-hand understanding of the role of the graduate engineer. They graduate with a proven on-the-job performance and many go on to work full-time with the company that provided their placement, or with another in the same industry.
The first year of this award is similar to the first year of our other Engineering awards allowing students to transfer between awards with minimal loss of time. For students without the necessary prerequisites, the Bachelor of Engineering Science award provides a pathway into this award.
- We have an international reputation for our teaching, student support programs/services and research.
