作为电气工程技术专家，您可能会忙于指定，设计或监督生产，分配或使用电力的系统和设备的建设，计算所需的成本和材料，投标合同，监督电力系统测试以及编写报告甚至指导手册。电气工程包括机电一体化的专业领域，该领域融合了机械工程和电子学两个领域以及电力工程，以深入了解电力自动化系统的基本组成部分。如果您正在工作，则可以根据您的工作场所定制项目。新西兰最大的六所技术和理工学院已与行业领导者进行了磋商，以制定这项与行业相关的最新计划。工程技术学士学位是由新西兰专业工程师学会（IPENZ）认可的。
As an electrical engineering technologist, a workday could involve being busy specifying, designing, or supervising the construction of systems and equipment that produce, distribute or use electricity, calculating costs and materials needed, bidding for contracts, overseeing electricity system tests and writing reports or even instruction manuals. Electrical engineering includes the specialist area of mechatronics, which merges the two disciplines of mechanical engineering and electronics, and power engineering, for in-depth knowledge of the fundamental components of power automated systems. This programme is for those who want a career in engineering. Students will learn theory and hands-on practical skills using modern technology in our engineering labs. If students are in employment, the project module can be tailored to their workplace. Six of the largest institutes of technology and polytechnics in New Zealand have consulted with industry leaders to create this up-to-date, industry-relevant programme. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology is accredited by the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ).
