Course Requirements

The Master of Professional Engineering program provides the opportunity for students to undertake a major in:

- Electrical Engineering

- Computer Engineering

- Telecommunications Engineering

The major will be recorded on the testamur.

Students must complete 96 credit points, consisting of the common core (36 credit points), professional options (18 credit points), one major (36 credit points) and one elective (6 credit points).

The common core subjects: ECTE906 Advanced Signals and Systems and ECTE955 Advanced Laboratory must be completed by all students in their first semester of enrolment in this degree program.

Students will be able to select from a choice of professional options, based on performance and interest. Enrolment in the following professional options will be subject to meeting the specified requirements:

-ENGG943 Engineering Professional Placement (6 credit points)

Students must qualify to enrol in ENGG943 Engineering Professional Placement. Enrolment in ENGG943 Engineering Professional Placement is by UOW Subject Coordinator and potential employer approval only. To be eligible for this option, students will need to obtain a result of 65% or more in the Assessment Centre Experience task in the subject ENGG942 Professional Practice. This result will provide students with the opportunity to be interviewed for placement and subsequent completion of ENGG943 Engineering Professional Placement.

-ECTE953 Advanced Project (12 credit points)

Enrolment in ECTE953 Advanced Project is by Head of School (or their delegate) approval only. To be eligible for this option, students will need to have a WAM2 of 72.5 or more at the end of their first year of completion of this degree program.
