Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

If you want to become a Professional Electrical and Electronic Engineer, and have a 3 year engineering degree but no work experience, USQ’s Master of Engineering Science (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) will get you there.

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 the exploration of signalling devices for road and rail or the most efficient transmission of power, your project will provide insight to the profession of an Electrical and Electronic Engineer.  

The research project and dissertation can also be a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.
