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:
- Mechanical
- Mechanical 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 has provisional accreditation with Engineers Australia. Professional accreditation allows graduates to work as a professional engineer in countries that are signatories of the Washington Accord.
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.
Three-quarters of new engineering graduates looking for full-time work find it within four months and have the highest rate of professional or managerial employment of all STEM graduates (Norton, 2016).
You can choose from two majors as part of this main study area:
- Mechanical engineering provides advanced theoretical understanding and knowledge of current professional engineering practices in mechanical engineering. It focuses on the technical discipline area, sustainable and ethical considerations, and evidence-based practices.
- Mechanical and managementoffers an engineering management qualification to practising engineers, specialising in mechanical engineering. It combines a formal qualification in management with advanced mechanical 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
- critically analyse and evaluate complex engineering problems to achieve, research informed solutions
- apply systematic approaches to plan, design, execute and manage an engineering project
- organise and manage time, tasks and projects independently, and collaboratively demonstrating the values and principles that shape engineering decision making and professional accountability.
Careers and outcomes
As a graduate of the 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:
