Title of the Programme
The programme shall be master of engineering in structure engineering MEng. (SE)
Background
Deepen your engineering expertise with the Master of Engineering Structures at Australia’s leading university.* Learn to design, plan and construct sustainable, resilient structures that can withstand extreme events.
The Master of Engineering Structures is designed for qualified engineers who are looking to change their field of work or advance in their careers. Students with a background in civil, construction, transport, and systems engineering will especially benefit from this program as it prepares them for further career development in the structural engineering industry. Upon completion of this program, you will gain skills and knowledge in the latest and developing technologies in civil and structural engineering.
Justification
Throughout the degree there is an emphasis on practical experience and preparing you thoroughly for the engineering profession. In addition to the hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days industry experience, you will complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is permanent affordable housing for developing countries or performance testing of concrete, your project will provide insight to the profession of a Structural Engineer. Master of Engineering in Structural Engineering provides students with the advanced knowledge needed to design the built environment. Students learn how buildings and bridges may be designed to resist the forces imposed upon them by external loads, gravity, wind, and earthquakes. Up-to-date, computer-aided design techniques and the latest national building codes dealing with steel, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and masonry structures are treated.
The targeted group includes holders of:
Applicants must have completed a UTS recognized bachelor’s degree, or an equivalent or higher qualification, or submitted other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates potential to pursue graduate studies.Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering and other related Science and Technology fields.It is a requirement that the bachelor’s degree be in Civil engineering or the natural and physical sciences, with no more than 25 percent of subjects failed.
General Objectives
Career opportunities will include work on major construction projects, including buildings, towers, bridges, dams and tunnels. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with architects, builders and those in mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering.
Specific Objectives
Learn how buildings and bridges are designed to resist forces imposed by external loads, gravity, wind, and earthquakes. Computer-aided design techniques and the latest national building codes dealing with steel, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, and masonry structures are treated.
Duration of the Programme:
This course is offered on a Two-year (Four semesters), full-time or online basis for students with a UTS-recognised bachelor’s degree in Civil engineering or the natural and physical sciences.
