Professional Engineering

Chemical, or ‘process’, engineering involves finding the best sequence of chemical and physical processing operations, and the right operating conditions, to convert raw materials into higher-value products. It covers the development, design and management of processes and equipment for the extraction, conversion and upgrading of materials using physical, chemical and biological operations.

This specialisation in Chemical Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Chemical Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Chemical Engineering).

Civil engineers design and construct infrastructure, such as bridges, roads, harbours, highways, dams, irrigation and water supplies, hydro-electric projects, tall buildings and other large structures. As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills. The civil engineer is important in this process.

This specialisation in Civil Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Civil Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Civil Engineering).

There is hardly any aspect of modern civilisation that is not dependent upon electrical energy. Electrical Engineers consider generation, transmission and generation of electricity, as well as the harnessing of sources of renewable and sustainable energy. Electronic Engineers undertake the design and application of modern digital, electronic and communication systems.

In this specialisation Electrical and Electronic Engineering is considered together as the combination reflects the convergence of these fields as society seeks more efficient, safe, reliable, and environmentally friendly solutions to engineering problems.

This specialisation in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of intelligent devices that have embedded computers. The electronics and communication fields represent two of the fastest growing technology areas in the world. With the rapid progress of information technology, the role of communications is becoming even more crucial for increasing industry efficiency and competition. Electrical Power Engineers consider generation, transmission and generation of electricity, as well as the harnessing of sources of renewable and sustainable energy. Electronic Engineers undertake the design and application of modern digital, electronic and communication systems.

Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical Engineering – Embedded Systems Engineering), Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical Engineering – Emerging Power Systems Engineering), Master of Professional Engineering (Electrical Engineering – Telecommunications and Networking Engineering).

Mechanical Engineering is about anything that involves the movement of solid parts and fluid flows. It is founded on the need to understand, design and manufacture parts, machines, devices and integrated engineering systems that range from small, such as micro-mechanical actuators, to the large, for example, cars, machine tools, aircraft, and massive power-generating turbines.

This specialisation in Mechanical Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Mechanical Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Mechanical Engineering).

This specialisation in Mining Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Mining Engineering.

Petroleum engineers figure out the best way to extract oil and gas from deposits below the Earth’s surface. They work closely with other professionals to understand the geological and geophysical characteristics of particular reservoirs, before designing, testing and implementing the most effective and profitable extraction method for that site.

This specialisation in Petroleum Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Petroleum Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) or Master of Professional Engineering (Subsea Engineering).

Software is ubiquitous in the information age, driving almost all the technology around us.

This specialisation in Software Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Software Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Software Engineering).
