Master of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) M.E (E&E)
2008

Program Outline

 Electrical & Electronic Engineers design and create devices that use electrical energy. This broad field represents the leading edge of technology in many domains: from alternative energy systems to microelectronic computer chips; from the electric motors of hybrid vehicles to the control electronics of unmanned aircraft. Electrical & Electronic Engineering graduates specialise in a diverse variety of growing fields such as image processing, robotics, radar and remote sensing, micromachines, biomedical engineering and information security.  

The Masters of Engineering coursework program offers candidates the chance to specialise in cutting-edge technologies aligned to their career pathways.

This 24 unit program is suitable for Engineering graduates with Honours who wish to pursue further studies, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. (Up to 12 additional units of enabling courses may be required depending on the exact nature of the applicants qualifications - this may extend study by one semester.)

The program includes core courses (9 units) comprising statistics, system modelling, and management and is designed to provide generic skills applicable across all fields of engineering. The remaining 15 units are of discipline specific courses that provide additional technical material at a level beyond that of a first engineering degree. The selection of the latter courses will enable candidates to explore a sub-discipline at some depth or acquire further knowledge across a broad front.
