COURSE DESCRIPTION
Highlights
- Ideal for practising engineers who want advanced, cutting-edge knowledge and skills in a chosen engineering field or want to move into an engineering management role.
- Lead and contribute to complex projects.
- Respond rapidly and effectively to current and emerging local and global challenges.
- Use evidence-based practice to imagine and realise change using management strategies, advanced design, collaborative decision-making and innovation.
- Choose from two majors within this study area:
- Electrical Engineering
- Electrical and Management.
This two-year course provides a developmental path for professional engineers to master skills in selected engineering disciplines and the interaction of those disciplines. Enhance your skills in dealing with more complex engineering problems and interactions between engineering technical domains and the broader context in which they exist.
This course provides post-professional knowledge and skills in a range of engineering disciplines. It will equip you with the abilities to become a leader in your chosen engineering field. The program offers both theoretical understanding, and practical applications of advanced professional engineering practices, with a focus on themed technical discipline areas and sustainable, ethical and managerial abilities.
Why choose this course?
This course enhances the knowledge, practice and professional employability skills of engineers in specific discipline areas at an advanced level. Explore an integrated mix of specialist discipline complexity and evidence-based practice with future-focused professional skills development in a connected learning environment.
You can choose from two majors as part of this main study area:
- Electrical engineering provides advanced theoretical understanding and knowledge of current professional engineering practices in electrical engineering. It focuses on the technical discipline area, sustainable and ethical considerations, and evidence-based practices.
- Electrical and management offers an engineering management qualification to practising engineers, specialising in electrical engineering. It combines a formal qualification in management with advanced electrical engineering skills and knowledge.
This course is suitable for practising engineers who want to change engineering disciplines and attain postgraduate qualifications.
Real-world learning
Through your studies, you will learn how to:
- apply advanced and specialist knowledge, concepts and practices in engineering design, analysis management and sustainability
- organise and manage time, tasks and projects independently, and collaboratively demonstrating the values and principles that shape engineering decision making and professional accountability.
You will be engaged with the demands, complexities, tools and contemporary practices of authentic engineering environments. You will develop and shape contemporary authentic professional skills for immediate application in workplace contexts.
Careers and outcomes
As a graduate of this course, you will be an Engineers Australia-accredited professional engineer with advanced, cutting-edge knowledge and skills in a chosen engineering field or engineering management role. You will:
