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 program provides the opportunity for students to undertake a major in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering. The major would be recorded on the testamur. Students must complete 48 credit points, consisting of the common core (12 credit points), one major (24 credit points) and two electives (12 credit points).
ECTE953 Advanced Project (12 credit points and topic must be in area of the major 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). The course program is set out below
