Keeping the world connected in a digital age depends on a reliable and efficient power supply, with increasing emphasis on computing technologies to monitor and control energy distribution. You’ll explore power systems and their components and learn how to effectively design and plan smart power systems to increase reliability and stability of power supply. You’ll also learn about the effects of distributed generation such as rooftop photovoltaic, energy storage, and demand response on power delivery networks and cover advanced concepts associated with the planning and operation of power systems. Learn about the use and application of computing technologies in the operation of modern industrial plants, manufacturing processes and material processing industries, with a focus on computer-based measurement and control. You’ll understand how to design, commission and test complex industrial control systems and have the opportunity to design, commission and test small-scale systems (including programming, networking and interfacing to instruments).

Entry may be gained through any of three means: 1. Recognised Engineering Bachelor's degree (AQF Level 7) in the specific disciplinary area of the major, 2. Evidence of an appropriate level of industrial experience and possession of a Bachelor's degree (AQF Level 7) in a technical, non-engineering area as judged adequate by the Academic Chair or their designate, or 3. Applicants without the necessary qualifications and/or background may be admitted with the caveat that they will be required to pass additional units as part of the course requirements, as judged by the Course Coordinator or their designate. This entry option may increase the required duration to complete the degree. To gain entry by either means 2 or 3, the applicant should provide educational and industrial experience details by a Curriculum Vitae, tertiary education transcripts, and a personal statement of no more than 300 words detailing why this course has been selected and how any extra-curricular experience has prepared the applicant to complete the course. All students must satisfy Murdoch University's minimum English requirements by demonstrating competency in the English Language.
