Master of Professional Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology

The Master of Materials Science and Engineering offers students the opportunity to participate in both coursework and research. Using state-of-the-art infrastructure available at the world-renowned Global Innovative Centre for Advanced Nanomaterials (GICAN) at the University of Newcastle, students will undertake research related to the design and discovery of new materials, such as advanced materials, nanomaterials, functional materials, biomaterials, drug carriers, photovoltaics, soft materials and useful metal alloys. This program will develop and train the next generation of material scientists and engineers, not only for Australia, but also as a significant source of intellectual talent for the global materials economy. Graduate with an understanding of how the processing of a material influences its structure, properties and performance, and learn to apply this knowledge to address challenging issues in a variety of fields, including education, vehicles, cosmetics, medicine, pharmacy, petroleum, steel, electronics, information technology, energy and environmental technologies, forensic engineering, and space science.

The School of Environmental and Life Sciences is committed to developing research and teaching skills that encourage critical thinking and problem-solving strategies.

The Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical and Electronic) is a flexible degree that allows you to fast-track your career in engineering. You'll have the opportunity to diversify your engineering expertise with courses in specialised areas including: renewable energy integration control systems design and automation digital and electronic design advanced telecommunication power electronics, drives and highly efficient power utilisation You can also broaden your skills in a complimentary area such as business and management, entrepreneurship and innovation, design or multimedia. Plus, you can choose a major project that's linked to industry or focused on design and research.
