Overview
The Master of Professional Engineering is designed to provide graduates with practical professional practice, advanced technical skills, organisational and management skills and the 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 and 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 requirements:
• Core Professional Development (42 credit points)
• Professional Options (18 credit points)
• Major - Technical Enhancement (36 credit points)
Students enrol in 24 credit points per session and can take any combination of subjects from the requirements above (subject to timetable availability). It is the student's responsibility to ensure that they have completed the subjects required by the end of four session of study.
Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge
Students require a Bachelor of Engineering degree (minimum duration 4 years) for entry into this degree.
For International students the English language entry criteria will be as indicated on the University website: http://www.uow.edu.au/future/international/apply/english/index.html
