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 four year Australian Bachelor degree specialising in Computer, Electrical, Electronics or Telecommunications Engineering with an average mark of 60%.
Course Requirements
The Master of Engineering Studies program provides the opportunity for students to undertake a major in:
- Electrical Engineering
- Computer Engineering
- Telecommunications Engineering
- Power Engineering
- Robotics and Automation
The major will 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 and ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory must be undertaken in the first session of a student's enrolment. The common core subject, ECTE975 Communication and ICT Workplace Practice, must be satisfactorily completed in order for a student to be eligible to graduate.
The course program is set out below:
