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 a three or four year Australian 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

- Digital Media Broadcasting

- Electrical Engineering

- ICT Management

- Internet Technology

- Power Engineering

- Robotics and Automation

- Telecommunications Engineering

Both majors would be recorded on the testamur.

Students must complete 72 credit points, consisting of the common core (18 credit points), two majors (36 credit points) and three electives (18 credit points).

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.

The common core subjects: ECTE906 Advanced Signals and Systems, ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory and ECTE975 Communication and ICT Workplace Practice must be undertaken in the first session of a student's enrolment.

ECTE953 Advanced Project (12 credit points) is optional. If this subject is undertaken the topic must be in the area of one of the majors being studied. 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 year load or equivalent (i.e. six subjects - 36 credit points in total - including ECTE906 Advanced Signals and Systems, ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory and ECTE975 Communication and ICT Workplace Practice).

Course Program

Note: Only a limited number of subjects will be offered in any one year.
