Master of Engineering Research (MENR)

Back to top Program aims The aim of this program is to provide Engineers with research opportunities that are relevant to the field of study.

The program will provide opportunity to undertake real-world problems through a supervised research project.

Admission requirements

To be eligible for admission, applicants must satisfy the following requirements:

• Completion of a four year Australian university Honours degree in the related field of study, with a GPA of 5 or above; or a GPA of 5.5 for the last 2 full years of the degree, or equivalent.
• English Language Proficiency requirements for Category 3.

All students are required to satisfy the applicable English language requirements.

If students do not meet the English language requirements they may apply to study a University-approved English language program. On successful completion of the English language program, students may be admitted to an award program.

Program objectives

The principal aim of the program is to produce graduates who are highly competent in research and development work in engineering. Specifically, graduates of the program will be able to demonstrate:

• a broad knowledge of selected engineering practice from agricultural, civil, computer systems, construction, electrical, electronic, engineering management, environmental, mechanical, computational, mechatronic or structural engineering
• an extensive and detailed knowledge of one significant aspect of engineering at a level that allows for the proposal and evaluation of innovative solutions to complex technical problems in that area
• an exhaustive knowledge of, and ability to access, sources of information about Australian and overseas engineering practice in the relevant area of engineering
• an ability to utilise sound research methodology and experimental design in an investigative study
• an awareness of the practical applications and the implications for the industry of the research work that has been undertaken
• a high standard of written communication on technical matters.
• production of their own original professional contributions in an appropriate engineering field.
