Course programme

Units of study information for this degree

Study plan

Candidates for the Master of Professional Engineering (Fluids) complete 144 credit points.

Candidates will also complete a 12 week industrial placement, which will provide them with the opportunity to participate in a major project in an industrial environment. Areas of study in the course include water resources management, wind engineering for design, environmental geotechnics, and open channel flow and hydraulic structures.


Progression rules

A candidate for the degree of Master of Professional Engineering who wishes to undertake the research pathway must complete 48 credit points with an average mark of at least 75.

The faculty will monitor students for satisfactory progress towards the completion of their award course. In addition to the common triggers used to identify students not meeting academic progression requirements, students must pass any unit of study identified in the course resolutions as being critical to progression through the course.

Capstone experience

A capstone experience comprises one or more units of study designed by the faculty to provide you with an opportunity to draw together the learning that has taken place during the award, synthesise this with your prior learning and experience, and draw conclusions that will form the basis for further investigation, and intellectual and/or professional growth.

In the Master of Professional Engineering, candidates complete either an engineering project or a research pathway. Candidates need to achieve a weighted average mark (WAM) of 75% or higher in their first 48 credit points of study in order to pursue the research pathway.

The engineering project involves a research activity in a related area. Candidates learn how to examine published and experimental data, set objectives, organise a program of work and devise an experimental or developmental program.

The research pathway comprises a substantial piece of research in a related area elected by the student in discussion with a supervisor. Students need to successfully analyse a problem, formulate appropriate experiments, examine the results, and produce a well-argued, in-depth thesis.
