Course objective

This course provides a developmental path for professional engineers to master skills in selected engineering disciplines and the interaction of those disciplines. It aims to enhance your skills in dealing with more complex engineering problems and interactions between engineering technical domains and the broader context in which they exist. Systems engineering is concerned with the design, operation and maintenance of electrical and mechanical systems that are employed in medical, aerospace, industrial settings, and in communications technology. This course advances your capabilities in information literacy, problem solving, application of theory, engineering design, communication, and interaction with other professionals. Early exit with a Graduate Diploma is available upon completion of four units in the course.

Career outcomes

Graduates may choose to become a specialist systems engineering practitioner within their chosen professional field, or use the skills and knowledge gained to diversify their capabilities across a broader spectrum of systems-related disciplines. In particular, this course provides graduates with the skills and knowledge to become a leader, manager and innovator in the chosen discipline. Graduates may typically work in government, semi-government or private organisations as electrical, mechanical, biomedical or avionics engineers.

Entry requirements

A four-year full-time bachelor degree in a relevant engineering discipline area and a grade point average of 5.0 or more on a 7-point scale in that study, or an equivalent qualification determined by the Faculty.
English language requirements for the course are an English Language Proficiency level in accordance with QUT requirements (IELTS score of 6.0 with no sub-band below 6.0) if English is not your first language. Applicants from a non-relevant background may gain entry through successful completion of BN85, the Graduate Certificate in Built Environment and Engineering.

Duration
