Program Overview

Engineers combine innovative thinking and technical expertise to develop creative solutions to natural and human problems. Engineers require up to the minute knowledge and expertise in their varying fields to maintain accreditation and offer the best solutions to their sector.

This degree is designed for students looking to further their career by upskilling, retraining, refreshing on recent developments in the field or further specialising in an area of engineering. You’ll have the flexibility to specialise in one area or broaden your knowledge in other areas of Engineering. As you build on your knowledge, you’ll meet the requirements to maintain professional accreditation standards and continue your professional development.

Exciting and practical, this degree features complex, open-ended enquiry-based projects as well as many other opportunities to help you become a leader in your field. Students will develop their technical knowledge and ability to analyse engineering problems. They will also gain further skills in solving engineering problems and justifying professional decisions. The completion of an enquiry-based project provides a pathway toward postgraduate research degrees.

Systems and Control (Specialisation)
The Master of Engineering Science (Systems and Control) is a 2-year full-time postgraduate degree at Australia’s leading engineering faculty designed for students with an existing four-year engineering qualification. Systems and control is one of many unique engineering specialisations offered within the Master of Engineering Science to deepen your knowledge of your chosen engineering discipline. Overlapping with Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, with the growth of automated systems, systems and control engineers are increasingly in demand.

Exciting and practical, this degree features complex, open-ended enquiry-based projects as well as many other opportunities to help you become a leader in your field. As a Control Systems Engineer your work will include designing, developing and implementing solutions used to control dynamic systems. With these systems everchanging, the role of the Control Systems Engineer is to offer consistency in these systems to achieve a certain outcome.

If you have a recognised four-year engineering degree this degree is the perfect next step to sharpen your expertise and take your career in the direction you’d like. Designed for students interested in developing job prospects through specialisation, retraining or cross-training - you’ll have the flexibility to specialise in Systems and Control or broaden your knowledge in other areas of engineering.

Systems and control is a wide and varied area of engineering. Systems and control engineers work in the development of anti-lock braking systems in cars, simple household washing machines and high-performance F-16 fighter aircraft. This degree will offer you the specialised knowledge to use your skills across a broad range of areas, creating more predictable and controlled solutions to dynamic systems and the human problems they arose from.
