Overview
This program aims to provide specialised research training for those preparing for careers in academia, government and industry; and to provide practising engineers with the means to increase their knowledge and upgrade their qualifications.
Entry Requirements / Assumed Knowledge
This degree is primarily a research degree for those who have completed an Honours Bachelor degree at a standard of Class II, Division 2 or higher; or a Masters by coursework in an appropriate discipline which includes a minor project worth at least 12 credit points or equivalent and a weighted average mark of 67.5% or higher (or equivalent), in one of the following areas: computer; electrical; telecommunications engineering; or a related area.
Entry from a Pass Bachelor degree in computer, electrical, telecommunications engineering (or a related area) is possible if a candidate has a good academic record.
Credit Transfer Arrangements
Candidates with an Honours Bachelor degree at a standard of Class II, Division 2 or higher; or a Masters by coursework with satisfactory completion of an approved minor project worth at least 12 credit points (or equivalent) and a weighted average mark of 67.5% or higher in computer, electrical, or telecommunications engineering or a related area, may be given exemption from all, or some, of the 24 credit points of coursework. This would be contingent on evidence of considerable research strength.
Course Requirements
The degree is normally 72 credit points, consisting of a 48 credit point research thesis and 24 credit points of coursework. The program must be completed in a maximum time of two years full-time and requires satisfactory completion of the following:
1. 24 credit points of coursework, consisting of 900-level ECTE subjects chosen from those listed under the Master of Engineering Studies or Master of Engineering and approved by the Head of the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering, in consultation with the School Postgraduate Research Committee, to constitute a coherent introduction to the proposed area of research; and
2. Subject to students gaining a weighted average mark of 67.5% for the coursework, a 48 credit point thesis subject.
Candidates who fail to meet the requisite standard for the coursework component will be required to transfer to the Master of Engineering Studies or Master of Engineering.
Current Research Areas
Refer to Current Research Areas under the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) entry for the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunication Engineering.
Other Information
Subject to satisfactory progress and satisfactory performance in seminars, students may transfer to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program prior to completion of the Master of Engineering - Research.
