Introduction
This 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 their work and discussing the significance 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 General Information section).
Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
A recognised Bachelor of Engineering degree at honours level. Applications will be considered from other well qualified graduates able to present acceptable evidence of their 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.
Course Organisation
The topic for the research project is assigned to the candidate after consultation with the Head of Department. Students who are admitted subject to successful completion of a qualifying program enrol in one or both of the Master Qualifying Program units and undertake a specified program of study. On successful completion, students will qualify to proceed with the formal master program. Failure to attain a satisfactory standard in the qualifying units will render a student ineligible for re-enrolment inthe master program.
Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.
Special Note
It is a requirement that two-thirds of this course is undertaken by research and only one-third by coursework. Students should not enrol in this research course to receive the Postgraduate Diploma in Chemical Engineering but rather have undertaken it as a requisite for admission.
