Develop specialised technical knowledge in your engineering field or expand your expertise into a related engineering discipline. The Master of Engineering Science builds on your existing engineering studies and knowledge. The course will expand your professional skills and is designed to prepare you to complete independent research work.

Select a specialisation from one of six options: Advanced Manufacturing, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Network Systems and Telecommunications or Structural Engineering.

Depending on your chosen specialisation, you’ll graduate with the skills and knowledge to pursue work as a professional engineer in a range of areas, including electrical power generation, safety and distribution, renewable energy systems, systems and embedded design, mechanical systems design, manufacturing systems design, telecommunication networks design, civil engineering project management, structural engineering and construction.

Course description

The Master of Engineering Science allows students to build on their existing engineering undergraduate degree knowledge by developing specialised technical knowledge in the same or related engineering discipline. The course is structured to accentuate the students’ professional skills and further enhance their abilities to undertake independent research work.

Graduates of this course will be able to work as professional engineers in one or more of the following areas: electrical power generation, safety and distribution, renewable energy systems, systems and embedded design, mechanical systems design, manufacturing systems design, telecommunication networks design, civil engineering project management, structural engineering and construction.

Career opportunities

The skills attained from the program should assist graduates gaining employment as a professional engineer in a range of industries including electrical power generation, safety and distribution, renewable energy systems, systems and embedded design, mechanical systems design, manufacturing systems design, telecommunication networks design, civil engineering project management, structural engineering and construction.

Graduates may wish to progress towards PhD studies in engineering.

Aims and objectives

Students who successfully complete the Master of Engineering Science will be able to:

1. demonstrate high-level advanced knowledge and skills in the area of engineering specialisation as related to design, construction, operation and maintenance of engineering systems

2. reflect on managing practical issues/complex problems and describing/developing contemporary and sustainable engineering trends and best practices related to design, construction, operation and maintenance of systems

3. investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, perceptions, problems, concepts and theories in the chosen area of engineering specialisation to provide rational solutions to composite problems using critical thinking and team-based/independent judgement in the project based industries

4. demonstrate clear and coherent communication skills to articulate complex knowledge and justify propositions and professional decisions to specialist and non-specialist audiences; including clients, customers, multi-disciplinary/multi-cultural project teams and stakeholders

5. demonstrate a high level of autonomy, accountability, credibility, ethics, and responsibility for all personal work outputs
