300565 v.2 Master of Engineering (Minerals Engineering)


MEng(Curtin)
Introduction
This research course develops, through the conduct of a supervised research project in any area of minerals 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. However, 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 Graduate Studies Committee, but may also be subject to successful completion of prescribed qualifying units.

Duration and Availability
This course is by research and normally requires one to two years of full-time or equivalent part-time study.

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.

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