About this program This program is scheduled to commence from Semester 1/2008. Engineering graduates must continue to upgrade their skills in their chosen technical area and/or in engineering management. The Master of Engineering program provides students with advanced academic knowledge and advanced practical problem-solving skills in their discipline area. Graduates of the dissertation component will be eligible to apply for a research higher degree to pursue further research studies in their discipline area. The Master of Engineering equips graduate engineers with advanced skill levels in a wide variety of engineering fields. The program will enhance the career prospects of engineers and engineering managers. The program offers advanced level courses in the disciplines of: - Coastal Engineering
- Engineering Management
- Structural and Geotechnical Engineering.
Students will have the option to either exit with a Graduate Certificate in Engineering or after completion of the Masters requirements undertake a further 40CP Dissertation to graduate with the award of the Masters with Advanced Studies. The Advanced Studies option is for students wishing to undertake research or proceed to a research higher degree. Attendance From 2008, all programs will be delivered on-campus with the exception of Coastal Engineering. Coastal Engineering may be offered in off-campus, distance mode to allow students to complete the courses on a part-time basis. Environmental Engineering is offered in both modes, online and on-campus. Career opportunities Engineering graduates must continue to update their skills in their chosen technical area and/or in project management. The Master of Engineering program provides advanced academic knowledge and advanced practical and problem-solving skills in their discipline area. Graduates of the dissertation component will be eligible to apply for a research higher degree to pursue further research studies in their discipline. Coastal Engineering Graduates will have advanced skills in the analysis and design of coastal facilities. Employment opportunities include within the professional engineering industry or city councils in the following capacities: consultants, designers, project managers, numerical modellers, site managers, contract administrators and planners. This field is becoming particularly important with the potential rise in sea levels resulting from global warming. Electronic and Computer Engineering This discipline enables graduates of electrical, electronic, computer systems or communication engineering to develop their knowledge to an advanced level in both general professional and technical areas. In particular, specialist courses in VLSI design (including chip fabrication), MEMs, digital signal processing, semiconductor devices, communications systems and networks, biomedical applications, computer systems and control systems are available. Engineering Management Many engineers with some experience in engineering practice seek additional project management skills. This discipline provides graduates with the skills to make responsible engineering management decisions integrating organisational, technical, economic and human resources considerations and an appreciation of sustainable engineering development. Employment opportunities include as consultants, project managers, site managers, contract administrators and planners. Australia currently has a severe shortage of professional recognised engineers with project management qualifications. Environmental Engineering Students develop a broad perspective on environmental problems and issues and have the opportunity to specialise in areas such as waste management, air, water, land and noise pollution control, and contaminated site rehabilitation. With their expertise to formulate solutions to environmental problems, graduates will be competitive in seeking employment in environment-related fields and in advancing their professional careers. Structural and Geotechnical Engineering Graduates will have advanced skills in the analysis, design and construction of building and bridge structures. Employment opportunities include as designers, consulting engineers, project managers, site managers, contract administrators and planners. Given the severe shortage of qualified engineers in this discipline, international students can gain Australian qualifications and potential placement in Australian industry.
