Engineering Education is internationally recognised as a distinct discipline. It is very applied. The emphases are (i) the syllabus associated with professional practice and (ii) the identification and application of pedagogies to the Engineering context. There are dedicated journals, societies and conferences including, in each case, Australian ones. The Master of Philosophy is a research degree with a coursework component taken over four sessions full-time or equivalent. The research component will lead to a thesis which embodies the result of an original investigation, design or engineering development. A program of advanced study comprising 3 courses (18 Units of Credit) makes up the remainder of the program.
