Overview
The Master of Professional Engineering is designed to provide graduates with practical professional practice, advanced technical skills, organisational and management skills and provides an opportunity for industrial experience or research.
Students will gain knowledge in a variety of areas, such as Australian professional engineering practice, sustainability, environmental economics and occupational health and safety. Students will also gain skills in innovative thinking in problem solving techniques; ability to manage engineering projects; sound knowledge of state-of-the-art engineering computing and IT applications; appreciation of financial management systems. Graduates will have the potential to take up responsible middle management roles in engineering in Australia and elsewhere.
The study program consists of three stages:
• Core Professional Development (42 credit points)
• Professional Options (18 credit points)
• Major - Technical Enhancement (36 credit points)
