Find Your Spark
Are you interested in radar, communication, or weapons systems? Do you want to be the driving force behind the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) position at the forefront of technology? If these scenarios get your circuits firing, then studying a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at UNSW Canberra could be for you.
Chief of the Defence Force Programs
The Chief of the Defence Force (CDF) programs offer the opportunity for students entering UNSW Canberra with a high Entrance Rank, and who maintain a high level of performance in their studies, to undertake research in a range of disciplines that will develop their critical thinking and independent research skills beyond that available in the standard bachelor degree programs.
The range of CDF programs are characterised by the inclusion of specialist courses in critical analysis and/or research methods appropriate to the area of study. All programs also include discipline-specific research projects. The research projects will be supervised by academic staff from the relevant discipline. With the approval of the Head of School, multi- or cross-disciplinary projects may be undertaken. Students in the research courses may work independently or as part of a team, depending on the nature of the project undertaken, though all students will submit individual assessment. Final assessment will be based on a written paper or report and oral presentations.
Throughout the program, students will be engaged with cohort activities so as to develop and maintain their interest and continuing involvement in the program via invited lectures, seminars, general reading and social events.
Kickstart Your Career
Your degree will be accredited by Engineers Australia, which means that you will be qualified to begin working as an engineer within Australia and many other countries as soon as you graduate.
