Upon completion of this program, graduates will have:

• A comprehensive, theory-based understanding of engineering fundamentals
• The ability to apply systematic approaches to the conduct and management of engineering projects
• Ethical conduct and professional accountability
• Effective oral and written communication in professional and lay domains
• A creative, innovative, and pro-active demeanor
• Professional use and management of information
• Orderly management of self and professional conduct
• Effective team membership and team leadership
• Conceptual understanding of mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences
• In-depth understanding of specialist bodies of knowledge within the engineering discipline
• Discernment of knowledge development and research directions within the engineering discipline
• Knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline
• Understanding of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities, and bounds of contemporary engineering practice
• Application of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem-solving
• Fluent application of engineering techniques, tools, and resources
• Application of systematic engineering synthesis and design processes

Admission Requirements

Eligibility for admission to this program is based on applicants meeting the minimum selection rank or satisfying the requirements for an approved admission scheme. The University of Newcastle accepts a range of qualifications to determine eligibility for admission.

English Language Requirements

All applicants must demonstrate that they meet the University's English proficiency requirement. The overall minimum English language proficiency requirement is 6, with a sub-test minimum of 6.

Recommended Studies
