E6014 Master of Engineering

The course comprises 48 points structured into three parts: Part A. Common core units, Part B. Specialist core units, and Part C. Enhancement units. 

Part A. Common core units
These units are designed to establish IT literacy and develop essential skills that translate theory into engineering practice and research. 

Part B. Specialist core units
In this part, you will identify, interpret and critically appraise current developments and advanced technologies to synthesise evidence-based design solutions within your specialisation.

Part C. Enhancement unit
These units are designed to provide breadth; either outside of the chosen engineering specialisation and/or in disciplines allied with and supportive of engineering.

*ENG5008 is work-integrated learning that will give you valuable exposure to work-related activities. The unit is subject to available placements. FOR STUDENTS WHO COMMENCE THE COURSE IN JULY: If you commenced the course in the July semester intake and plan to enrol in ENG5008, you may do so in place of ENG5100 (from Part A) in your second semester of study. You will, therefore, still complete one enhancement unit.
