Are you curious about our world and what makes it work? Do you want to help find solutions to complex problems? This degree will prepare you to solve our biggest challenges as a civil or mechanical engineer.

The Master of Engineering Practice is designed to meet the requirements for accreditation at the level of Professional Engineer by Engineers Australia. The course is structured around 16 key competencies identified by Engineers Australia as being essential to the graduating engineer, which are broadly grouped into knowledge and skills, application, personal and professional skills.

Foundational core units build knowledge of the basic sciences, practical skills and the processes and philosophy that underpin the engineering profession. You’ll then choose a specialisation to build additional knowledge and skills needed to solve complex problems using creative, analytical and design thinking across a range of engineering systems relevant to your specialisation. To complete your study, you will choose advanced elective units to further build specialist expertise in areas of professional practice, while also completing research and project-based units that will develop your skills in independent investigation, critical thinking, and creative problem solving.
