Overview
The Master of Engineering Practice has been designed to meet the needs of engineering leaders of the future. This program allows practicing engineers to build on, update and acquire additional knowledge in areas not covered in their first degree.
This is a 48 credit point program. The core program comprises four, 6 credit point subjects. The remaining 24 credit points can be selected from the Engineering Postgraduate subject list. Students may elect to choose a major by successfully completing one of the elective groups outlined below. Majors available are: Asset Management, Civil Engineering, Engineering Logistics, Environmental Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering and Mining Engineering.
With approval of the Course Advisor, students can undertake a 12 credit point dissertation as part of the elective subjects. The dissertation, ENGG940 Dissertation, is a research project allowing students to pursue a particular area in depth. The dissertation develops skills in information retrieval, project planning and organisation analysis, problem solving, and effective communication of results.
Where insufficient subjects are offered in a particular stream and/or where students are not able to provide assumed knowledge for available electives, the Course Advisor may substitute ENGG subjects, providing at least three subjects are taken from the stream under consideration.
Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge
A four year Bachelor of Engineering degree is required for entry to this degree. For International Students the English language entry criteria will be as indicated on the University website: www.uow.edu.au/future/international/apply/english/index.html
