Details

The BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Stellenbosch University covers two complementary streams: the generation, transmission, and conversion of electrical energy on one hand, and the design of electronic systems for communication, computing, and control on the other. In a South African context defined by energy insecurity and rapid technological change, electrical engineers are central to expanding grid infrastructure, developing renewable energy capacity, and modernising industrial systems. Electronic engineers contribute to the country's telecommunications, defence electronics, and software-driven industrial sectors. Graduates are eligible to register as Professional Engineers with ECSA.

Career Prospects

  • Power Systems Engineer designing and managing electricity generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure for Eskom, independent power producers, and South African municipalities grappling with the country’s energy transition.
  • Electronics and Embedded Systems Engineer developing microcontroller-based control systems, communication hardware, and signal processing solutions for South African technology companies and research institutions.
  • Renewable Energy Engineer designing solar PV, wind, and battery storage systems within South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) and private commercial energy projects.
  • Telecommunications Engineer building and maintaining 4G, 5G, and fibre broadband infrastructure for South African network operators such as MTN, Vodacom, and Openserve.
  • Automation and Control Engineer designing programmable logic controller (PLC) systems, SCADA platforms, and industrial automation solutions for South Africa’s mining, manufacturing, and process industries.
