Master of Professional Engineering (Mechanical) (pre 2019)
The University of Newcastle
About
The Master of Professional Engineering (Mechanical) program extends upon prior undergraduate qualifications in the discipline of Mechanical Engineering.
In a 2-year program, the MPE provides advanced fundamental skills and knowledge required for the practicing mechanical engineer.
The first year predominantly focuses on core knowledge and skills, while the second year provides the opportunity for specialisation through the completion of a significant capstone Masters Thesis Project and a coherent suite of elective courses.
This program produces graduates with the knowledge, technical abilities and professional qualities to provide innovative solutions to society’s needs now and into the future.
