Program focus

The Master of Engineering Science is tailored to provide a broad knowledge of Engineering and Spatial Science through a specialised suite of technical courses in nine different majors. The program is designed to provide an academic pathway to professional engineering for those who are qualified engineering technologists, or those who have a bachelor degree in a field allied to engineering. This program will provide graduates with a pathway to professional registration as practising Engineers in Australia.

Professional accreditation

The Faculty will be seeking accreditation by Engineers Australia as meeting stage one competencies for registration at the level of Professional Engineer.

Program aims

The aims of the Master of Engineering Science are:

to enable international students, who hold appropriate three year engineering qualifications or equivalent, to complete a two-year postgraduate program that will lead to recognition as a Professional Engineer in Australia.
to enable graduates with an Associate Degree Engineering qualification and five years relevant work experience (i.e. equivalent to a three year degree) to achieve recognition and status as a Professional Engineer as an alternative to doing the Bachelor of Engineering Degree.
to provide an opportunity for Engineers and Spatial Scientists who hold appropriate three year engineering qualifications or equivalent in a particular specialisation to change to another area of specialisation; and
to enable graduates from non-Engineering programs, e.g. Bachelor of Science, who are working in the Engineering industry to gain an appropriate Engineering qualification that will allow them to achieve recognition and status as a Professional Engineer.

Program objectives

The objectives of the Master of Engineering Science are:

to enable students to acquire, and demonstrate that they possess, the specified graduate attributes and capabilities.
to enable students to acquire in-depth technical competence in one of the following fields:
Agricultural Engineering
Civil Engineering
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Geographical Information Systems
Mechanical Engineering
Power Engineering
Structural Engineering
Surveying
to enable students from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds and locations to enrol in the program and to provide them with opportunities to acquire the skills necessary to complete the program in the normal time.
to enable students to be empowered as learners through the provision of a wide range of teaching and learning styles and modes in their program.
to ensure that all students, regardless of the mode of study, have equality of opportunity in acquiring the specified graduate attributes and capabilities.
to prepare graduates to be eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia, and other appropriate professional bodies.

Admission requirements

To be eligible for admission to the program, candidates must possess one of the following requirements:

an appropriate three year engineering or spatial science degree awarded by an Australian university, or an equivalent qualification awarded by an Australian or overseas institution.
an appropriate non-engineering degree in a technical field with sufficient mathematics and science content to be considered equivalent to a three year engineering degree awarded by an Australian university, or an equivalent qualification awarded by an Australian or overseas institution.

International candidates must also meet the University's English language proficiency requirements for postgraduate students. Refer to Academic Regulation 5.4.

The standing of degrees awarded by an overseas institution will be determined by reference to the Sydney Accord, and Washington Accord, of which Engineers Australia (EA) is a signatory, and Australia Education International (AEI) which is a federal government agency.

How to apply

Domestic students

Application for postgraduate programs may be made directly to USQ. You should ensure you submit your application by the closing dates.

International students

This program is offered to international students. An international student is a person who is not an Australian or New Zealand citizen and not an Australian permanent resident. Please refer to USQ International for information about entry requirements, visa arrangements and how to apply.

Program fees

Commonwealth supported place

A Commonwealth supported place is where the Australian Government makes a contribution towards the cost of your higher education and you as a student pay a student contribution amount, which varies depending on the courses undertaken. You are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the Course Fee Finder.
Commonwealth Supported students may be eligible to defer their fees through a Government loan called HECS-HELP.

Domestic full fee paying place

Domestic full fee paying places are funded entirely through the full fees paid by the student. Full fees vary depending on the courses that are taken. You are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the Course Fee Finder.
Domestic full fee paying students may be eligible to defer their fees through a Government loan called FEE-HELP.

International full fee paying place

International students pay full fees. Full fees vary depending on the courses that are taken and whether they are studied on-campus, via distance education/online. You are able to calculate the fees for a particular course via the Course Fee Finder.

Program structure

The Master of Engineering Science comprises 16 single unit academic courses and four practice courses as follows:

Schedule A: Five core courses (Five units)

ENG5001 Professional Skills in Engineering
MAT2500 Engineering Mathematics 3
ENG3003 Engineering Management
ENG4111 Research Project Part 1
ENG8412 Research Project Part 2

Schedule B: A ten course major (Ten units), two of which are common to all majors except Geographical Information Systems and Surveying

ENG3103 Engineering Problem Solving Computations
ENG4104 Engineering Problem Solving Simulations

Schedule C: One Elective (One unit)

Schedule D: Four Practice Courses (Zero unit), two of which are common to all majors

ENG3902 Professional Practice 1
ENG4903 Professional Practice 2

To offer flexibility for students who enter the course with four year degrees, and to recognise prior learning, it may be possible for students to negotiate the substitution of up to two courses in Schedule B and C with two other courses at a similar level.

Required time limits

Full-time students have a maximum of four years to complete this program. Part-time students have a maximum of eight years to complete this program.

A pro-rata adjustment of the maximum time period will apply for those students who transfer from one mode of study to another. A pro-rata reduction in the maximum time period will apply to students who are admitted to a program with advanced standing.

Major studies objectives

The major study provides students with knowledge and skills in a specific discipline. The nine major study areas in the Master of Engineering Science are:

Agricultural Engineering
Civil Engineering
Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Geographical Information Systems
Mechanical Engineering
Power Engineering
Structural Engineering
Surveying

IT requirements

Students should refer to the section entitled Access to Information Technology Facilities in the General Faculty and Program Information section of this Handbook.

Residential schools

The major practical work requirements associated with each of the Faculty's programs are contained within a series of Practice Courses. These courses are designed to enhance learning, communication and practical skills through laboratory sessions, workshops, seminars, field trips and group activities.

Practice Courses may be undertaken in either on-campus or external mode. Students enrolling externally will be required to attend a compulsory residential school. However, students who enrol in Practice Courses in on-campus mode may be required to undertake a series of weekly activities and/or attend a compulsory residential school. The only final grades available in these courses are Pass (P) or Fail (F).

Practice Courses are zero unit courses that are a compulsory part of the program. However, they do not attract a student contribution charge for Australian residents or a tuition fee for international students. External students should ensure that they are able to attend the residential school prior to enrolling in a Practice Course.

Exit points

Students who have completed four courses in the program may satisfy the requirements for the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science and therefore may apply to exit the program with a Graduate Certificate in Engineering Science.

Students who are unable to satisfactorily complete the program may apply to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering or the Bachelor of Spatial Science as appropriate. They may also apply to have the courses completed in the Master of Engineering Science credited to their new program.

Exemptions

Candidates for admission to the program are eligible to seek advanced standing in the program, in accordance with existing University regulations. The maximum number of exemptions permitted in this program will be eight units of courses. Studies used as the basis for claims for advanced standing must normally have been completed within a period of five years prior to the date of application for advanced standing. Exemptions will not normally be granted for ENG5001 Professional Skills in Engineering.

Enrolment

Students should note that some of the courses specify enrolment requirements (prerequisites). Students should therefore refer to the Course Specification section of the USQ Web to determine the enrolment requirements for the courses they intend enrolling in. Students should avoid enrolling in courses for which they do not have sufficient pre-requisite knowledge. Students will be expected to rectify any deficiencies in their pre-requisite knowledge by private study, guided if necessary by the examiners of the relevant courses. Students should contact Faculty Administration if they encounter problems while enrolling in courses with requisites.
