Decide Your Discipline

The Faculty of Engineering provides events for Year 1 Scholars and Students to evaluate their preferences for their next year of discipline specialisation. Aruhiko PEET will be present at these events to promote the benefits and advantages of the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme including the emphasis on power engineering. 

Scholar community

​The Aruhiko PEET programme produces a community of scholars across all years of the BE(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree structure. This provides opportunities for mentoring, sharing experiences and group support over and above the standard education programme.

Workforce transition

​Industry engagement opportunities are designed to provide scholars with opportunities to understand the workforce transition for senior students. The Aruhiko PEET programme provides scholars with opportunities to meet and interact with both recent graduates and other engineering professionals who have completed the transition to and within the workforce across many sectors.
