Business and industry are becoming increasingly dependent on computers, microelectronics, optical fibre communications and information technology. The development and application of these fields relies heavily on the skills of professional engineering technologists.

The Faculty of The Sciences has developed an innovative program in Electronics Engineering Technology which provides an alternative pathway to obtaining a University degree. This program ensures the blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for expertise in many areas such as telephone service providers, manufacturers of electronic and optoelectronic devices and systems, computer-network installers and operators, etc.

There are no compulsory prerequisites but a knowledge of Physics and Mathematics to Year 12 level is assumed.

For admission to Electronics Engineering Technology candidates must have completed the NSW TAFE Advanced Diploma in Engineering or equivalent.
