DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
Candidates for this degree enrol in MATL957
PhD Major Thesis.
MASTER OF ENGINEERING - RESEARCH
The Master of Engineering degree by research is intended for engineers
qualified and interested in specific engineering problems. It is expected
that candidates will have Honours Class III or above. The degree comprises
a 48 credit point research thesis and 24 credit points of coursework.
Advanced standing for some or all of the coursework component may be granted
on demonstrated research skills. Evidence of these skills would normally
be a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours Class II Division 2 or better) and/or
an appropriate Masters Coursework degree.
Program of Study
Plus 18 credit points of elective subjects chosen from the Master of
Engineering - Materials Engineering subjects below.
MASTER OF ENGINEERING
The Master of Engineering degree comprises a 24 credit point dissertation
(ENGG945) and at least 24 credit points of coursework - refer to list
below. Entry is a Bachelor of Engineering with honours at Class III or
higher from this University, or an approved equivalent qualification.
The programs of study allow the student to combine specialist postgraduate
subjects, according to his or her undergraduate background, with project
work.

MASTER OF ENGINEERING PRACTICE (MATERIALS WELDING
AND JOINING)
This course is offered on a flexible delivery, with the normal entry requirement
being a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Science degree.
The course consists of a set of 16 modules with a total of 48 cp, together
with a 12cp Dissertation (ENGG 919). The 3 credit point modules are presented
in the form of 12 text based distance delivery subjects and intensive one
week subjects which:
(a) are offered over two sessions;
(b) are assessed by quizzes, assignments, reports on practical work and
examination, as relevant to the particular module.
In addition to the self study texts a web based tutor is used.
Approval of the Professor of Materials Welding and Joining will be required
for the subject matter of ENGG919 - Dissertation.
