Overview

The Master of Technology Engineering program is designed specifically for students who have a degree equivalent to a three or four year Australian Bachelor degree that is not specifically in electrical engineering, or a related discipline. The program will provide students with an opportunity to undertake a major in one of the following areas:

- Computer Engineering

- Digital Media Broadcasting

- Electrical Engineering

- Internet Technology

- Power Engineering

- Robotics and Automation

- Telecommunications Engineering

The major would be recorded on the testamur.

Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge

Completion of the Graduate Certificate in Technology Engineering.

Course Requirements

Students must have satisfactorily completed 72 credit points, consisting of:

- the Graduate Certificate in Technology Engineering (24 credit points - selected and approved by the Head of School)

- PLUS the course program of 48 credit points consisting of:

- core subjects (18 credit points);

- one major (18 credit points); and

- two elective subjects (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 following satisfactory completion of at least 18 credit points of the Graduate Certificate in Technology Engineering.

ECTE953 Advanced Project (12 credit points) is optional. If this subject is undertaken the topic must be in 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 load or equivalent (i.e. four six credit point subjects - 24 credit points in total - including ECTE906 Advanced Signals and Systems, ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory and ECTE975 Communication and ICT Workplace Practice plus one six credit point subject from the chosen major).

Course Program

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