C04273v4 Master of Engineering Master of Engineering Management

This program allows students to complete the Master of Engineering (ME) and the Master of Engineering Management (MEM) in two years of full-time study.

The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to the major, an independent graduate project (in the area of the major), and a set of electives.This course is for professional engineers who want to combine the Master of Engineering with a specific major with the Master of Engineering Management.

This enables students to gain both technical and management skills in an accelerated way and complete two courses in two years rather than three years individually.

Students are required to complete 96 credit points, comprising professional engineering/management subjects (42 credit points), a major (42 credit points) including an independent project, and electives (12 credit points). The project component consists of a preparatory subject and a project (in the area of the major) which must be undertaken in successive sessions, typically the final two sessions of the course.
