Bachelor of Science HES-SO in Electrical Engineering

The technical use of electricity - electrical engineering - makes it possible to transmit energy and information almost instantaneously.

At HTA-FR, students can choose between the following 2 majors: Electronics, where electricity transmits and processes information in the form of a signal; or Electrical Energy, where electricity transports and uses energy in the form of electrical power.

Engineers in electrical energy

• Design equipment for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy;
• Plan, manage, direct, and control interdisciplinary infrastructure projects for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity;
• Design, monitor, and optimize the operation of power systems (electricity, heat, gas);
• Specify, design and manage the commissioning of industrial drives, rail vehicles or their subsystems;
• Record procedures for manufacturing, assembling, and commissioning electrical equipment;
• Inspect and optimize equipment, ensure compliance with safety standards and sustainable environmental protection;
• Prepare technical documentation for the operation of equipment.
