Recognition of Prior Learning
Students may be eligible for up to a total of 24 credit points of subject exemptions based on recognition of prior learning (RPL) as follows:
- Students who have completed subjects deemed by the faculty as being equivalent subjects in a postgraduate program or UTS-recognised undergraduate engineering program of a minimum of four years or equivalent.
- Subject exemption is applicable only to 12 credit points from Electives (Engineering) and 12 credit points from Major Choice in the major stream.
Other/additional RPL may be granted via subject substitution to an alternative/advanced postgraduate subject in a similar field of study.
To be considered for recognition of prior learning, subjects must normally have been completed no more than ten years prior to the commencement of this course. Contact the university for more information.
Outcomes
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, graduates will be able to:
- Graduates are culturally and historically informed, with awareness of ethical practices when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
- Graduates engage and influence a broad range of diverse stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of values, needs and priorities. They identify and evaluate novel problems' performance requirements (such as social, environmental, capital expense, safety, operational, maintenance, reliability, quality and cost-effectiveness).
- Graduates apply design thinking, decision-making methodologies and leadership practices to propose management solutions and implementation strategies. They exercise judgment to evaluate and respond to system sustainability, constraints, risks, conflicts and uncertainties (social, economic and environmental).
- Graduates research and evaluate concepts and theories and synthesise concepts in Management and its different areas of practice (Business, Organisational, Project, Quality and Human Resource). They predict and judge the impacts of management solutions using ethical, social, commercial and environmental metrics of success.
- Graduates communicate 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.
- Graduates self-review their own competence to practice proficiently, anticipate consequences of intended actions or inaction and identify ethical dilemmas when they arise. They seek and provide constructive reviews to improve themselves, their teams and management practices.
Career Outcomes
The Master of Engineering Management program provides an opportunity for those who aspire to excel to challenge themselves at the master's level, deepen their skills and knowledge and gain a competitive edge in the industry.
