Engineering (Electronics)

The Master of Engineering (Electronics) is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.Students who have completed a relevant Bachelor of Engineering degree with honours may receive up to 36 units of credit towards the Masters degree.

To qualify for the Master of Engineering (Electronics), a student must complete 72 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic. Students who have completed 36 units of the Master of Engineering (Electronics) will be deemed eligible to exit with the award of Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Electronics)

Option - Year 2 topics

ENGR7709 Real Time Systems (4.5 units) ENGR7711 Advanced Control Systems (4.5 units) ENGR7731 Computer Architecture (4.5 units) ENGR7732 Instrumentation (4.5 units) ENGR7761 Image Processing (4.5 units) ENGR7762 Renewable Energy Systems (4.5 units) ENGR7812 Power Electronics (4.5 units)

* Students who can demonstrate equivalent work experience may apply for credit. If the completed work experience is recorded as 0 units students may be granted an exemption from ENGR9405 (4.5 units) but will be required to take an alternative topic. It is recommended that students undertake their placement between November and February after the completion of year 1.

**The Masters Thesis can only be taken by students who have achieved a credit average or higher. Students are advised to discuss thesis ideas with suitable supervisors before selecting this option. Note that students who wish to use their Masters qualification to satisfy entry into a Flinders University research higher degree program are required to have completed an 18 unit thesis.

Students who have already completed studies with considerable overlap with topics listed above should choose alternative topics in discussion with the Course Coordinator.

Applicants normally must hold with an average grade of credit or higher:

• the Flinders University Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science (specialisation E1-E3) or
• equivalent progress in the Master of Engineering Science or
• a relevant Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering Technology, Bachelor of Engineering Science or
• an equivalent overseas qualification.

Students without such a qualification should apply for the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science.

The Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.

Students who have completed a relevant Washington Accord accredited Bachelor of Engineering with honours or have passed the same topics in a Flinders University Master of Engineering Science may receive up to 36 units of credit towards the Master of Engineering degree. Accreditation Note This program is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of professional engineer. Full accreditation is normally granted when the first cohort of students graduate from the program. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Once fully accredited, graduates will meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.

On completion of the award, students will be able to:

• competently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of complex electronic engineering systems
• demonstrate a deeper understanding of some areas of electronic engineering
• apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner
• communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies
• work professionally as an individual and in a team
• understand and describe the processes through which current knowledge has been developed
• develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied
• engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge in the area of electronic engineering
• contribute successfully to project management
• plan and execute a research project, applying relevant methodologies and knowledge
• apply research skills appropriate to postgraduate research or advanced industrial investigation.
