MEng(Curtin)

Introduction

This research course develops, through the conduct of a supervised research project in any area of mining engineering, the ability to contribute to the knowledge and practice of engineering. At the completion of the project, the candidate submits a written thesis presenting the results of the work and discussing the significance of them for the pertinent field of engineering. The degree is awarded upon the favourable recommendation of examiners appointed to assess the thesis.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

A recognised bachelor of engineering at honours standard. The School is prepared to consider applications from other well qualified honours graduates in science, who are able to present acceptable evidence of promise to undertake research projects. In such cases, admission may be granted by the Western Australian School of Mines Graduate Studies Committee, but may also be subject to successful completion of a prescribed qualifying program.

Duration and Availability

The course is by research and normally requires one to two years of full-time study. The course is also available in part-time mode.

Course Organisation

This course is studied as a research degree. The content of the degree should be determined in consultation with the Postgraduate Coordinator, Western Australian School of Mines. Students without prior studies in research methods and statistical data analysis will be required to undertake relevant preparatory units. This will increase the stated course duration.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study.

Special Note

It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and only one-third by coursework.
