Located at our Geelong Waurn Ponds campus, our Renewable energy and AusNet electrical engineering labs cover a wide range of electrical engineering concepts, including fundamental properties of electrical protection systems, electrical transmission networks, AC and DC motors and generators, and renewable energy technologies.
Gain hands-on experience throughout your degree
As an electrical and electronics or mechatronics degree student, you’ll get to spend your time gaining practical hands-on experience within the lab; along with students completing their final-year projects. Research students undertaking their masters or PhD, as well as academic staff, also use the labs for research projects.
Our labs are equipped with high-end and modern education systems, giving you direct access to state-of-the-art technology. From simple practicals to complex transmission topologies where power losses need to be simulated, you can use the labs for a range of study and research purposes.
When you study engineering at Deakin you get real-world experience via project-oriented design-based learning. You’ll undertake team-based projects and develop solutions to current industry needs, so you can hit the ground running when you graduate.
Our labs are designed to be modular, flexible workspaces that can accommodate a wide range of educational needs.
