The Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical) is a 72 unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
The admission requirements for the award are one of the following:
In addition, whatever qualification is held, students are expected to be able to demonstrate previous study or recognised prior learning in communication and planning skills, mathematics (equivalent to first year university mathematics) and science (equivalent to university undergraduate topics in chemistry and physics). Some basic knowledge of other relevant sciences will be assumed.
The course provides graduates with:
The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
On completion of the award, students will be able to:
To qualify for the Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical), a student must complete 72 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the program of study below.
The topics selected depend on the entry qualifications. Students must consult with the Director of Studies regarding their program of study.
