Master of Engineering Practice (Structural Engineering)

If you are an Engineering Technologist and have more than 5 years industry experience under your belt, then USQ’s Master of Engineering Practice (Structural Engineering) will give you the necessary qualification to be eligible for Professional Engineer registration with Engineers Australia.

Right from the beginning you will be able to use the knowledge and skills you have already gained in the workplace to complete your first year core units. Through self-assessment and workplace portfolios you will demonstrate how you may already meet Engineers Australia’s competencies and identify the technical courses you will need to complete in order to graduate. Available to study through distance education, the Master of Engineering Practice allows you to get a step ahead without having to step back from your work or life commitments.

You will build upon your prior knowledge in Structural Engineering with advanced studies in areas such as concrete structures and geotechnical engineering. Your capstone course will see you work as part of a student civil design team to work on real world industry topics.

Professional recognition

Through the Master of Engineering Practice (Structural Engineering), you will gain the eligibility to apply for membership as a Professional Engineer with Engineers Australia. You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Ireland, Hong Kong, New Zealand and South Africa.
