Entry requirements
Applicants to the Master of Engineering (Autonomous Systems) program are required to have one of the following:
A Bachelor Degree in engineering, science or technology from a recognised higher education institution
OR
A Bachelor Degree Honours, Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in engineering from a recognised higher education institution.
Aim
The proposed program will provide development engineers, engineering managers, acquisition specialists, capability planners, and researchers with essential principles and advanced skills, and the latest practice and research outcomes in intelligent autonomous systems. This program covers various areas of engineering and technology including areas such as sensing and sensor systems, advanced control, actuation and automation, advanced mechatronic systems, communications, and test & evaluation. Students also develop engineering research method skills and have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to a substantial work-based project with a local organisation.
Content & Structure
The program provides graduates with extended skills and knowledge in key areas of both enabling technology and systems integration techniques that comprise intelligent autonomous systems; and considerations germane to the integration of these systems into a human-centric society. In addition, it provides students with opportunities to develop and apply those skills whilst integrating knowledge to complete a practical project in their own area of interest, a project related to any research institutes affiliated to the school, or a project from their workplace.
In the first year of the program students gain an appreciation of the functional elements of an autonomous system. This includes studies in areas such as advanced control, autonomous mechatronic systems, industrial actuation and automation, principles of test & evaluation, sensing & sensor systems, and the principles of systems engineering. In addition they develop engineering research practice skills.
In the second year of the program students undertake more advanced studies which emphasise the integrated nature of intelligent autonomous systems. This includes consideration of issues relating to legal and ethical frameworks, certification, system evaluation and determination of the value proposition, and integration of the enabling technologies. The program also contains a major final year project where students will apply their knowledge and research skills to a substantial research or workplace project.
