Course sub-headings

Course overview

Deakin University's postgraduate Engineering program has been designed to strengthen, build on and extend your understanding of the engineering principles required to build successful engineering careers in Australia and overseas.

 

Students will gain technical skills, a positive approach to problem solving and the ability to work as a team to enable them to start work on complex projects immediately.

 

You can choose from specialisms in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Civil Engineering. The specialisms all provide expertise in areas of high demand for graduates.

 

The program's focus on practical experience and a supervised research project or industry project provides you with advanced project management skills. This experience equips you with the ability to apply your skills and knowledge to practical, industrially focussed problems.

 

The Master of Engineering can be undertaken as a stand-alone or exit qualification from the Master of Engineering (Professional) program.
