Master of Engineering Management at University of Technology Sydney (UTS)

The Master of Engineering allows you the opportunity to develop professional skills such as teamwork and communication while applying and further developing the theoretical knowledge you gained in your undergraduate study. If you are a practicing engineer, this is a versatile course that allows you to extend or expand your engineering practice. This course begins with an introduction to Australian engineering practice, providing the opportunity to apply discipline knowledge and skills in an authentic project, in some cases with an industry mentor, and will help to prepare you for engineering practice. You will then complete an internship of a minimum of 300 hours to gain work experience required to meet the accreditation requirements of the course. If you have significant and recent engineering experience (at least 480 hours) you may opt out of this unit and choose an elective unit as an alternative. Depending on your choice of elective units, you will study one or two units from topics including sustainability, mining, project management and rail providing the opportunity to contextualise your learning to your current or preferred industry. Finally, you will complete a major research project that will demonstrate your ability to work as a professional engineer.

Demonstrate specialist knowledge and understanding of theory, practice and recent developments in engineering. Demonstrate advanced knowledge of research principles and methods through the review and analysis of existing research relevant to work and learning in the engineering discipline. Reflect critically on theory and its application to engineering. Investigate analyse and synthesise complex concepts and problems in engineering through the application of advanced technology, physical and numerical modelling and simulation. Communicate engineering discipline knowledge and research results, in writing and orally using plain English and making a sustained argument to specialist and non-specialist audiences.
