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 program provides the opportunity for students to undertake a major in:
- Computer Engineering
- Digital Media Broadcasting
- Electrical Engineering
- Internet Technology
- Power Engineering
- Robotics and Automation
- Telecommunications Engineering
The major would be recorded on the testamur.
Students must complete 48 credit points consisting of the common core (18 credit points); one major (18 credit points); and two electives (12 credit points).
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 the major area of study. 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 (ie. four six credit point subjects, including ECTE906 Advanced Signals and Systems, ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory, ECTE975 Communication and ICT Workplace Practice plus one six credit point subject from the major).
The course program is set out below:
