Professional accreditation
The Master of Advanced Engineering is not accredited by any professional bodies other than the 精东传媒app of Southern Queensland.
Program aims
The aim of the Master of Advanced Engineering program is to produce graduates who are equipped with essential management knowledge and an appreciation of the latest technologies in addition to their initial specialisation. The skill set would therefore allow the graduate to manage more complex technological or engineering businesses.
Program objectives
Students who successfully complete the Master of Advanced Engineering will be able to demonstrate their ability to:
-
Critically evaluate knowledge from literature and other information sources relevant to their field
-
Apply asset management theory and practice to the management of engineering assets
-
Evaluate the importance of technological innovation and risk in engineering businesses
-
Apply the specialist knowledge and skills acquired in their specialisation
Australian Qualifications Framework
The Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is a single national, comprehensive system of qualifications offered by higher education institutions (including universities), vocational education and training institutions and secondary schools. Each AQF qualification has a set of descriptors which define the type and complexity of knowledge, skills and application of knowledge and skills that a graduate who has been awarded that qualification has attained, and the typical volume of learning associated with that qualification type.
This program is at AQF Qualification Level 09. Graduates at this level will have specialised knowledge and skills for research, and/or professional practice and/or further learning.
The full set of levels criteria and qualification type descriptors can be found by visiting .

-
Two courses from Schedule A (core courses):
-
Four courses from Schedule B (related to the specialisation); and
-
An Industry Project course in Schedule C (2 units).
Specialisation
The specialisation study provides students with knowledge and skills in a specific discipline. The three specialisation study areas in the Master of Advanced Engineering are:
-
Structural Engineering Design
-
Engineering Management
-
Engineering Project Management
IT requirements
Access to an up-to-date computer is necessary. On-campus students can access appropriately equipped laboratories, but should consider acquisition of their own computer. External students should be able to access a computer with the following as advised by the 精东传媒app. All students should have access to email and the Internet via a computer running the latest versions of Internet web browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. The 精东传媒app has a wireless network for on-campus students' computers. In order to take advantage of this facility and further enhance their on-campus learning environment, students should consider purchasing a notebook/laptop computer with wireless connectivity. Specialist software is required for some courses.
Articulation
Students who have completed the Graduate Certificate of Advanced Engineering are able to apply to articulate into the Master of Advanced Engineering degree.
The standing of degrees awarded by an overseas institution will be determined by reference to the National Office of Overseas Skills Recognition (NOOSR).
