MEng(Curtin)

Introduction

The research course develops, through the conduct of a supervised research project, the ability of a suitably qualified candidate to contribute to the knowledge and practice of engineering. At the completion of the assigned 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 thesis is examined according to the University's Regulations for the Degree of Master (by Research) (refer to the General Information section).

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

A recognised Bachelor of Engineering degree at honours level. Applications will often be considered from other well qualified graduates able to present acceptable evidence of an ability to undertake research projects. In such cases, admission may 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 or equivalent part-time study.

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

The topic for the research project is assigned to the candidate after consultation with the Director of the Western Australian Telecommunications Research Institute. Students who are admitted subject to successful completion of a qualifying program will enrol in one or both of the Masters Qualifying Program units and undertake a specified program of study. On successful completion students will qualify to proceed with the formal masters program. Failure to attain a satisfactory standard in the qualifying units will render a student ineligible for re-enrolment in the masters program.
