- Duration: 24 months
- Course Type: Master's
Acquire advanced knowledge in your chosen engineering discipline and master key management principles.
Course overview
The course is designed for professional engineers seeking to fast-track their careers by earning a Master of Engineering and a Master of Engineering Management in just two years. Opt for this integrated program to develop both your discipline expertise and managerial acumen, equipping you for leadership roles in engineering. This enables students to gain both technical and management skills in an accelerated way and complete two courses in two years rather than three years individually.
Teaching methods include lectures, seminars and project work. Expect a dynamic learning experience that combines independent research with practical coursework. This approach ensures you'll emerge with the competencies necessary to excel in engineering management positions.
Stand out with a dual qualification that merges professional engineering subjects, a major-specific graduate project and a diverse range of electives.

Outcomes
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, graduates will be able to:
- Graduates are culturally and historically well-informed and able to co-design projects as respectful professionals when working in and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
- Graduates are socially adaptable and responsible professionals, able to engage and influence a broad range of stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of values, needs and priorities. They identify and evaluate the needs and impacts (such as social, ethical, environmental, economic effectiveness, safety, operational, maintenance, reliability and quality) of engineering systems.
- Graduates apply research, problem-solving, design and decision-making methodologies and leadership practices to design components, systems, processes and solutions to meet specified requirements and to propose technical and/or management solutions and implementation strategies. They interpret and transmit knowledge, skills and ideas to specialist and non-specialist audiences and exercise judgment to evaluate and respond to system sustainability, constraints, risks, conflicts and uncertainties (social, economic and environmental).
- Graduates exhibit advanced and integrated understanding of complex systems and possess expert, specialised cognitive and technical skills. They possess the ability to 1) research and apply established technical and management theories to synthesise, critically analyse and reflect on complex information, problems and concepts in discipline fundamentals to evaluate, implement and operate complex systems and 2) predict and judge the impacts of management solutions using ethical, social, commercial and environmental metrics of success.
- Graduates communicate effectively in a variety of ways (accurate and active listening, dialogue, reading, writing, negotiating and contractually) to coordinate, manage and lead diverse teams and projects. They collaborate formally and informally to engage, influence and manage diverse stakeholders to operate within cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural contexts in the workplace.
- Graduates self-review their own competence to practice proficiently, anticipate consequences of intended actions or inaction and identify ethical dilemmas when they arise. They take responsibility and accountability for their own lifelong learning and seek to offer constructive reviews to improve: their own performance, their teams and society.
Career Outcomes
Students who hold an undergraduate engineering degree are able to enhance their ability and knowledge through postgraduate-level studies in their respective majors and gain knowledge and skills that enhance their ability to progress to engineering management roles.
