Course OverviewThe rapid development of the renewable field has led to a shortage of fully skilled electrical engineers who are competent in both classic power system operation and renewable system integration.

What You Will Gain

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

› Skills and knowledge in the latest developingtechnologies in electrical systems

› Practical guidance from electrical experts fromaround the world

› Global networking contacts in academia andindustry

› Improved career options› A valuable and accredited Master of Engineering

(Electrical Systems) degree

The Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems), developed by electrical and renewable energy experts, will equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to address the demands of the modern power industry. You will learn how to design the components of a power system including generation, transmission, distribution and the associated systems. The program will also cover the automation, protection and control components that contribute to the high level of reliability expected from modern power systems. The section on project management additionally, provides the skills required for effective management of power generation, transmission and distribution projects.

The widely used wind and solar energy as centralized and as distributed power sources and their related technologies as well as effects of renewable integration on classic power issues such as system stability and harmonics are covered in the program. You will also learn energy storage as an integral part of a microgrid or at a larger utility level. You will get the opportunity to understand the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning as data-driven approaches in smart grids with the application of smart meters.

The Thesis – the capstone of the program – requires a high level of autonomy andaccountability and will reinforce the knowledgeand skill you attain during the program. It is asignificant research project requiring the abilityto critically evaluate and apply knowledge andskills creatively to an electrical system problem.

Students who elect to exit the program after successfully completing all of the first-year units, as outlined above, can opt to receive EIT’s Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Electrical Systems). If students wish to finalize the Master qualification after exiting at Graduate Diploma level, they will need to re-enroll in the program and relinquish the Graduate Diploma testamur.

Why Online?EIT recognizes that many of our potential students have commitments which makes pursuing further study very challenging. Our online programs have been specifically designed to reduce the significant financial, time and travel commitments often required by traditional on-campus programs.

Time Commitment

Successful students are thus likely to spend approximately 20 hours per week in order to cover the material adequately and to gain sufficient knowledge in each unit. This includes the preparatory reading, attendance at each webinar and the time necessary to complete the assignments and laboratory work.

Software and Hardware Requirements

› Operating system: Windows 7 or higher (Windows10 recommended); or macOS 10.12 or higher(recommended)

› Storage: A minimum of 4GB memory (RAM),and a minimum of 20GB of spare disk space isrecommended

› Processor: 1.5Ghz or higher, 2 cores or higher

› An 11” Monitor with at least 1024x768 screenresolution

› Internet access with at least 5Mbps download andupload speeds

› A valid personal email address

› Speakers and microphone/headset (can be built-in)

› A webcam that can recognize your face.

› Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or similarsoftware

› An up-to-date web browser
