Welcome to the School of Electrical and Information Engineering

Located at the University of South Australia's Mawson Lakes Campus, we are one of five schools within the Division of Information Technology, Engineering and the Environment.

We are just 20 minutes by train from the centre of Adelaide, and readily accessible by regular public transport, with excellent facilities for living, studying and recreation.

Our curriculum focuses on energy and information – how they are generated, processed, transferred and controlled, and, just for something different, we are also home to the UniSA Aviation Academy based at nearby Parafield Airport.

We offer a comprehensive program leading Bachelor of Engineering degrees in four disciplines, as well as degrees in Applied Science and double degrees in Management, Marketing Management, Education and Laws.

Our dedicated teaching, research and support staff set and demand high standards, which are reflected in the quality of our graduates.

Our innovative teaching and learning techniques, which emphasise a hands-on approach, mean our students are much sought after as graduate engineers, many already placed before graduation.

The school maintains close links with Australian and overseas institutions and industry, including the nearby, internationally-renowned Adelaide Technology Park, the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, and major contractors such as  BAE Systems, Codan, Clipsal, Computer Systems Corporation and ETSA.

A range of industry scholarships/cadetships offer financial incentives to selected students, with recipients gaining valuable pre-graduation work experience and a guaranteed position upon successful completion of their degree.

The majority of the school’s final year undergraduate engineering projects are sponsored by industry, and over 50 scholarships and prizes are available each year for outstanding students.
