Overview

The objective of this program is to provide graduates with engineering skills at a level between the Bachelor and Masters by Research degree levels.

Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge

A degree equivalent to an Australian four-year Bachelor of Engineering in Computer, Electrical, Electronics or Telecommunications Engineering.

Course Requirements

The Master of Engineering Studies (Double Major) program provides the opportunity for students to undertake a double major in Computer Engineering-Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering-Telecommunications Engineering or Electrical Engineering-Telecommunications Engineering. Both majors would be recorded on the testamur. Students must complete 72 credit points, consisting of the common core (12 credit points), two majors (48 credit points) and two electives (12 credit points). There is an option for a second major in ICT Management to be taken in conjunction with Electrical or Telecommunications or Computer Engineering.

Subjects which are duplicated across the majors cannot be counted in both majors. For example, where one subject is listed in both the Computer Engineering and the Electrical Engineering Majors, it can only be counted in one of these majors for students doing the Computer Engineering-Electrical Engineering double major.

ECTE953 Advanced Project (12 credit points and topic must be in the area of one of the majors being undertaken) is optional. Entry to this subject is restricted to those students who gain a weighted average mark of at least 72.5% for the full-time first session load or equivalent (i.e. four six credit point subjects, including ECTE906 Advanced Signals and Systems, ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory plus two six credit point subjects from the major). ECTE953 Advanced Project can only be taken in one of the majors being undertaken, i.e. one major could consist of ECTE953 Advanced Project and two six credit point subjects selected from that major list and the second major must consist of four six credit point subjects selected from the list of subjects under that major. The course program is set out below.
