Energy Systems

Influence, change and guide critical decision-making in the energy sector. Develop the unique set of skills required to analyse energy systems from a technical, commercial and policy standpoint.

The Master of Energy Systems is for students who have completed a degree in engineering, science, business, finance or economics, and are looking to start a career in, or make a change to the energy sector.

Master of Energy Systems

Master of Mechanical Engineering

Design and build tomorrow’s machines and systems. Develop advanced mechanical engineering skills, guided by experts in fluid mechanics, turbulence and biomechanics. You can also participate in internships and real-world projects with industry mentors.

This program is professionally recognised under two major accreditation frameworks: EUR-ACE® and the Washington Accord (through Engineers Australia). Graduates can work as professional engineers throughout Europe, and as professional engineers in countries covered by the Washington Accord. Further information about accreditation.

Once you’ve started studying, you can specialise in Aerospace, Business, Manufacturing, or Materials, or continue without specialising.

Specialise in:

Aerospace

Develop advanced skills in fluid mechanics, propulsion, aeroelasticity and aerospace control, and take part in cutting edge research in world-class facilities like the Walter Bassett Aerodynamics laboratory.

Business

Study tailored business subjects developed in partnership with Melbourne Business School, covering how economics, marketing and finance relate to engineering.

Manufacturing

Study the design and manufacture of machine elements, including concurrent design of systems and productions, computer-based manufacturing, automation and IT, and materials selection.

Materials

Gain expertise in advanced material processing, metals for additive manufacturing, material modelling and characterisation, and how to make high performance materials.

Master of Mechanical Engineering

Master of Mechatronics Engineering

Explore emerging technologies and study a blend of mechanical, electrical and software engineering, guided by experts in automation and control. You can also participate in internships and real-world projects with industry mentors.

This program is professionally recognised under two major accreditation frameworks: EUR-ACE® and the Washington Accord (through Engineers Australia). Graduates can work as professional engineers throughout Europe, and as professional engineers in countries covered by the Washington Accord. Further information about accreditation.

Once you’ve started studying, you can specialise in Manufacturing, or continue without specialising.

Specialise in:

Manufacturing

Leverage your mechatronics skills onto the creation of innovative products and services for the flexible modern economy, with a strong grounding in the physical manufacturing systems.

Master of Mechatronics Engineering

Industrial Engineering

Apply a systematic approach to transform designs and concepts into tangible products and services through a wide range of industrial systems. Industrial engineers ensure a company’s competitiveness from design and production to business strategy by maximising efficiency and effectiveness in the organisation. They look at how to improve processes or design things that are more efficient and waste less money, time, resources and energy while meeting customer needs and regulatory obligations.

Develop a comprehensive engineering and business skillset in manufacturing technologies, system and simulation and advanced manufacturing and operations techniques, and business management.

Master of Industrial Engineering

Students with a Bachelor of Engineering, or a Master of Engineering, may apply to undertake research Masters and PhD programs.

Engineering Research ENGR90041/90042

The subject involves undertaking a substantial research project requiring an independent investigation on an approved topic in advanced engineering research and/or design. Each project is carried out under the supervision of an academic staff member and. This subject is a 25 points subject and run in two semesters.  This subject is ideal for students who prefer independent study and would like to have close collaboration with an academic supervisor. High-quality results may lead to publication in a leading academic journal, or the students may be sent to an International conference.
