Master of Environmental Engineering and Pollution Control at Griffith University

The Master of Engineering (Research) offers students the opportunity to undertake supervised research in the related discipline of their choice. Their chosen discipline may include, for example, aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, maritime engineering, materials engineering or mechanical and industrial engineering. Candidates develop a range of skills, including independent thinking, project management, data analysis and critical thinking, as well as refined communication skills. Candidates also learn how to develop hypotheses and design experiments to test them, and to analyse, write about and publish scientific data.

In the Master of Engineering (Engineering Management) program, you will learn the latest theories related to engineering management and apply them to the core areas, covering project management, supply chain management, operation management and resource management. You will also be immersed in practical industry operation procedures to suit becoming an engineering manager as a future career path. In addition, as a part of your study, you will develop research skills and use these skills to produce a minor thesis, by working on a topic of your own interest or a possible industry-related project. In the first year of the program students gain an appreciation of various operational aspects of managing the operations of an engineering organisation. This includes studies in areas such as total quality management, research data analysis, principles of project management, engineering economic analysis, sustainable development and design practice, intelligent production systems, and leadership with elective courses in energy and society, robotics and automation and human resource management, strategic procurement and others. In the second year of the program students undertake more advanced studies which emphasise the strategic management of engineering operations. This includes consideration of issues relating to supply chain management, resource management, project planning con control, and operation management. The program provides an integrative management of these various strategic aspects of engineering operations. Key to this degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your Research Project or Minor Thesis in the second year with a topic of your own interest or possible industry-related project.

Cyber security is one of the fastest growing sectors in Australia and around the world with rapid technological advancement and the evolving threat environment increasing demand that is set to see around 17,000 new jobs needed by 2026. With the unprecedented penetration of computers and telecommunications systems outpacing advancements in cybersecurity, there is a significant need for telecommunications professionals with expertise in cybersecurity to ensure modern satellite, Internet of Things (IoT) and other emerging communication systems are designed from the very start - with consideration for cybersecurity. The only master's degree of its type in Australia, this program will prepare you to perform design, cybersecurity, research and development, and analytics roles with government agencies, defence contractors or IoT companies. It may also lead to a career in research, with a PhD in space, telecommunications, software, systems or satellite engineering, or the engineering of secure emerging technologies. In your first year you'll study specialist courses covering topics such as big data concepts, systems engineering, critical infrastructure and control system security, cryptography and data protection, and digital communications. In second year you'll take further specialist cyber engineering and telecommunications courses including telecommunications and device security, statistical programming for data science, information theory and coding and mobile communications and wireless access. Also key to this degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your minor thesis. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings. Developed to address industry demand for highly qualified cyber engineering and telecommunications professionals, you will learn directly from renowned experts; studying advanced topics in cyber engineering, telecommunications, big data and systems engineering, with a research component also incorporated in the program, including a minor thesis. Our telecommunications students have worked on industry-related projects such as: indoor localisation based on visible light communications digital signal processing applied to a variety of practical problems (such as radar-based vehicle collision prevention system) various aspects of the Internet of Things Incorporating strong theoretical teaching, experience-based learning and modern facilities, we offer the ideal academic blend for graduates to meet the challenges of contemporary industry practice. Learning is supported by world-class engineering research and industry experience to elevate your expertise and career opportunities.
