Requisite map

Overview

Master of Applied Engineering provides advanced engineering education-related knowledge and skills in applied engineering with specialisations catering for the demands in South East Asia. The course focuses on the optimisation of system design from the perspective of productivity and analysis. After completion, you will be able to apply this knowledge and skills to design, implement and improve systems in the industrial, energy and technology sectors.

You will be exposed to industry problems and practices through industry-based research projects, field trips, and a possible industry internship. In the industry-based research project, you will collaborate with industry partners to undertake an advanced project that leads to significant process and/or product improvements. Additionally, industry members will be invited to deliver lectures or short talks.

The handbook's description of this structure

The course is structured into two parts: Part A. Engineering specialist knowledge and application and Part B. Professional practice

Part A. Engineering specialist knowledge and application

These units will provide you with specific and contemporary learning required for your chosen area of profession. You will gain in-depth knowledge of the engineering specialisation and develop skills to identify and apply your understanding of the contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline.

Part B. Professional practice

These units will develop your skills in readiness for the engineering workplace. You will develop skills in effective team membership and team leadership and the legal responsibilities of engineers.
