Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical)

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.

This course has provisional accreditation with Engineers Australia. Professional accreditation allows graduates to work as professional engineers in countries that are signatories of the Washington Accord.

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 analyze and evaluate complex engineering problems to achieve, research-informed solutions
• apply systematic approaches to plan, design, execute and manage an engineering project
• communicate complex information effectively and succinctly, presenting high-level reports, arguments, and justifications in oral, written and visual forms to professional and non-specialist audiences
• organize 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.

You will undertake your studies through a range of learning practices, including industry-led case studies, project-based learning. Your capstone learning experience is a workplace-based or authentic two-semester project staged via a series of developmental assessments. This is supported through preparation for a simulated international engineering conference (peer-reviewed poster presentation and paper).
