Course overview
Master Degrees (Coursework) prepare students to apply advanced knowledge for
professional practice, scholarship and further learning corresponding to AQF level 9
qualifications.
An engineering management role is the long-term function of many practising engineers.
The need for engineering oriented management skills increases with career
development. Many graduate engineers have received only an introduction to
management topics at first degree level, some may have had none at all. Undergraduate
management training provides a base, with an enhancement of management skills
achieved by further post-graduate advanced study. The Master of Engineering
Management program provides a balance between engineering and business skills and
is jointly taught by staff from the School of Civil and Mechanical Engineering and the
Faculty of Business and Law in a format that integrates the functions and skills needed
by engineers in management. The engineer in a managerial role in industry has to utilise

a broad range of skills and competencies which are essential to the planning,
coordination and control of engineering projects, contracts and plant. Curtin University’s
Master of Engineering Management provides an ideal pathway for practising engineers
into senior-management roles.
Career opportunities
Graduates may find enhanced employment prospects with their original employer and
with other organisations seeking experienced engineers with the skills to manage
engineering technology.
Entry and completion details
Applicants for a Master Degree (Coursework) are required to meet University academic
and English language entry standards; details are provided at
http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au (http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au). Subject to the
duration of the course applicants usually require a Bachelor Degree or equivalent (and
may require relevant work experience), Bachelor Honours Degree, Graduate Certificate
or Graduate Diploma. Any specific course entry and completion requirements must also
be met.
Specifically, applicants require a bachelor of engineering or an equivalent qualification
in a recognised discipline of construction with at least one year of relevant work
experience since graduation.
Practical engineering experience will be beneficial.
Credit for recognised learning
Applications for credit towards a course are assessed on an individual basis. Credit
reduces the amount of learning required to complete the course and may be granted for
formal education qualifications, non-formal learning from non-award programs of study
and informal learning through work experiences. Further information can be found at
http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au/non-school-leavers/rpl.cfm
(http://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au/non-school-leavers/rpl.cfm)
A student may, under specific circumstances, receive a waiver for a basic unit. In this
case the student must substitute an alternative unit approved by the Head of
Department. Equivalent units from other institutions may be acceptable if approved by
the Head of Department or Course Coordinator.
Pathway to further study
Graduates may qualify for entry to Doctoral degrees. For further details, see the
Graduate Research School website http://research.curtin.edu.au/postgraduateresearch/future-research-students/entry-requirements/

Duration and availability
The course is 1.5 years study full-time (three semesters of 100 credits each ). Students
holding an International Onshore Student Visa must complete the course in a full-time
mode. For those students permitted to study on a part-time basis, (over a minimum
period of 36 months), are required to undertake a minimum of two units per semester
(equivalent to the part-time program) and remain enrolled in consecutive years until the
course has been satisfactorily completed. The Head of Department may grant leave of
absence. Two intakes are offered each year in Semester 1 and Semester 2.
Learning outcomes
Master Degrees (Coursework) contain a series of units in a specialised area of study
which may include compulsory (core), optional or elective units to cater for student
preferences. They may also contain a range of majors/streams for students to choose
from.
Course learning outcomes
1. Integrate knowledge from a range of Engineering and Business sub-disciplines to
coordinate and manage projects that require practicable, cost-conscious, sustainable
solutions.
2. Acquire, evaluate and extend through post-graduate study, information to facilitate
the coordination and management of engineering works.
3. Communicate effectively to all stakeholders using appropriate (engineering project)
management tools and techniques in the control of engineering works
4. Identify and use suitable and appropriate (engineering project) management tools
and techniques in the control of engineering works
5. Practice engineering management with a global perspective, apply appropriate
international standards, and ensure project realisation embraces cultural and
environmental diversity
6. Demonstrate leadership, professional behaviour and ethical practice in the context of
managing engineering projects
Additional course expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study
materials.

The information displayed above refers to study periods and locations where the course
is available for first time entry. Students are normally only offered or admitted to a course
once
Information for international students
If you are an international student studying on a student visa, you must undertake a
full-time load in each study period. There may be additional admission criteria that
must be met. For more information, you can refer to the International Students’
(https://international.curtin.edu.au/) website. If you do not hold a student visa or are
studying outside of Australia, you have the option to study full-time, part-time
and/or fully online depending on course and unit availabilities as well as your incountry visa requirements.
Acknowledgement of inherent requirements
I understand that all Curtin courses have compulsory and other core capabilities
that are essential for demonstrating the achievement of course learning outcomes
and graduation. If I am unable to meet or demonstrate those requirements, now or
in later during my studies, reasonable adjustments will be sought by the University
wherever possible to facilitate alternative ways of achieving of those requirements.
If reasonable adjustments cannot be accommodated, Curtin will discuss study
options to find an alternative course of study or an exit degree.
