The Master of Engineering (Mechanical) is a 72-unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
This new course has been designed to be accredited at the level of professional engineer and will be presented for accreditation by Engineers Australia in the near future. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.
Students who have completed a relevant Washington Accord accredited Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) may receive up to 36 units of credit towards the Master of Engineering (Mechanical).
Applicants normally must hold:
A knowledge of mathematics (equivalent to second year university mathematics including Fourier and Laplace Transforms), and a knowledge of materials and dynamics is assumed.
Students without such a qualification should apply for the Master of Engineering Science (Mechanical) or the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science and follow the major in Mechanical Engineering.
The Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The course has been designed to provide 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.
At the completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
