Program focus
The Graduate Certificate program is appropriate for those students who wish to extend their knowledge of specific areas of engineering, whereas the Graduate Diploma program allows the student to develop competencies across a broad discipline area. The Graduate Diploma program also includes provision for students to evaluate information critically, and to select and apply an appropriate research design, methodology and analysis to a particular research problem.
The Masters program builds on the Graduate Diploma and allows the student to take either an Engineering Technology Studies Pathway (12 course work units) or undertake a project and prepare a dissertation (8 course work units plus 1 x 4 research project).
Students who complete only four units of coursework will be eligible for the award of Graduate Certificate in Engineering Technology; students who complete the eight unit coursework component of the program will be eligible for the award of Graduate Diploma of Engineering Technology; students who complete the 12 units of coursework in the Engineering Technology Studies Pathway and students who complete the dissertation will be eligible for the award of Master of Engineering Technology.
Program objectives
Students who successfully complete the program will be able to demonstrate:
-
a knowledge of a general discipline area of engineering at an advanced level
-
a good standard of written and verbal English language communication skill
-
a knowledge of the professional journals and other information sources relevant to the specialised area of engineering
-
an ability to evaluate research reports and to plan a research project; and either
-
a capacity for investigation, evaluation and synthesis within an engineering context, or
-
a knowledge of fundamental technology management issues.
Admission requirements
To be eligible for admission to the program, candidates must possess a three-year degree in engineering, science or technology in the same field of study as their proposed major study, or a four-year degree in engineering, from a college or university recognised by the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR) as awarding degrees that are comparable to the education level of an Australian bachelor degree. Candidates for admission must have demonstrated a high level of academic performance and must also comply with the University requirements for competency in written and spoken English.
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
Student contribution amount
For domestic students who are offered Commonwealth supported places, the Government pays some money directly to the University, but students are also required to make a contribution. This contribution is called the ‘student contribution’. For more information about student contribution amounts, including the calculation of fees for a particular program of study, refer to USQ fees.
Tuition fee
Domestic fee-paying places are funded entirely through the tuition/direct fees paid by the student. Tuition/direct fees vary depending on the courses that are taken. For more information about Tuition Fees, including the calculation of fees for a particular program of study, refer to USQ Fees.
International fees
International students pay tuition fees. For details about international student fees, refer to the International Fee Schedule provided by USQ International.
Program structure
The Master of Engineering Technology consists of 12 units of study as indicated in the following recommended enrolment patterns for each major study area. Students studying full-time on-campus will enrol in the first three courses listed, appropriate to the semester they are studying in, from the STANDARD ENROLMENT PATTERN section, as listed in the recommended enrolment pattern for their chosen major for their first term. During their second term, full-time on-campus students will take ENG8001 Engineering and Surveying Research Methodology and a minimum of two other courses from their specified major, appropriate to the semester they are studying in.
Students studying part-time externally will follow an equivalent program extended over a minimum of six terms. Students must complete the part-time external program within a maximum period of 12 terms.
On successful completion of six courses including ENG8001, students may choose either the Engineering Technology Studies Path or the Project and Dissertation Path. The Project and Dissertation Path will normally be available only to students that achieve a GPA of at least 5.0 across their previous six courses. Full-time on-campus students taking the Project and Dissertation will normally do so in their third term of study.
Required time limits
Full-time students have a maximum of 3 years to complete this
program. Part-time students have a maximum of 6 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.
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.
Articulation
The Faculty of Engineering and Surveying offers an articulated program of studies leading to the awards of Graduate Certificate in Engineering Technology and Master of Engineering Technology. These programs of study are suitable for graduates of three-year engineering, technology and science programs who wish to further their studies in engineering, and for graduates of four-year professional engineering programs who wish to continue their studies in a different discipline area.
The Graduate Certificate in Engineering Technology consists of four of study. The Master of Engineering Technology is composed of 12 units of study with the option for either all coursework (via a Engineering Technology Studies Path), or eight units of coursework and a four-unit Project and Dissertation.
The fully articulated program is intended to allow students to enhance and extend their knowledge of a particular engineering discipline area. Major areas of study are Agricultural Engineering, Civil Infrastructure Engineering, Computer Systems and Telecommunications Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, Software Engineering, Structural Engineering and Technology Management. A Transdisciplinary Engineering option is also available for students wishing to enhance their knowledge across a range of Engineering disciplines.
Exit points
Students who, for whatever reason, are unable to complete the Master of Engineering Technology and who satisfy all of the requirements of either the Graduate Certificate in Engineering Technology, may be permitted to exit with that award.
Exemptions
Candidates for admission to the program are eligible to seek exemptions in the various programs, in accordance with existing University regulations. For the Master of Engineering Technology the maximum number of exemptions permitted will be six units. Studies used as the basis for claims for exemptions must normally be graduate studies and must not have been used to meet the requirements of any undergraduate award. They will normally have been completed within a period of five years prior to the date of application for exemptions.
Enrolment
Graduates of engineering degree programs who are eligible for professional membership of Engineers Australia will not be permitted to undertake a major study in the same discipline area as their undergraduate degree.
Candidates for admission to this program should note that some of the courses specify enrolment requirements. This may mean that successful applicants will be enrolling in courses for which they do not have sufficient pre-requisite knowledge. Applicants should refer to the course synopses section of the Handbook to determine the enrolment requirements for the courses they intend enrolling in. Graduate 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. Alternatively, they should enrol in the pre-requisite course(s). These courses will not contribute to the requirements for program completion.
The Master of Engineering Technology consists of 12 units of study as indicated in the following recommended enrolment patterns for each major study area. Students studying full-time on-campus will enrol in the first three courses listed, appropriate to the semester they are studying in, from the STANDARD ENROLMENT PATTERN section, as listed in the recommended enrolment pattern for their chosen major for their first term. During their second term, full-time on-campus students will take ENG8001 Engineering and Surveying Research Methodology and a minimum of two other courses from their specified major, appropriate to the semester they are studying in.
Students should note that the choice of courses for full-time, on-campus study may be limited due to timetabling constraints and that not all courses will necessarily be offered each year.
Students must complete ENG8001 Engineering and Surveying Research Methodology and follow either the Engineering Technology Studies Path or the Project and Dissertation Path as listed in the tables below. Permission to enrol in ENG8002 Project and Dissertation must be obtained from the Associate Dean (Research).
