What you'll learn
Your future career
Graduates can find employment in electrical generation, distribution and electrical design industries and utilities along with operators and installers of renewable energy projects, and stand-alone power systems such as mining and ship building industries.
Professional accreditation
This course has received provisional accreditation from Engineers Australia (EA) in 2023. EA is the professional body for Engineers in Australia and is also the accrediting body for Engineering degrees within Australia. Graduates from an accredited degree are eligible for EA membership, which is recognised worldwide and provides our graduates with strong employment pathways. The course level outcomes of the Master of Engineering Practice are aligned with the EA Stage 1 Competencies, making the course eligible for full accreditation which will (and can only) be sought in 2025 when first graduates are in the workforce.
Accreditation will be sought in 2024 from Solar Accreditation Australia for selected Smart and Renewable Electrical Power Systems Engineering major units to enable students to meet the provisional accreditation requirements for renewable energy system design.
Professional recognition
This course has received provisional accreditation with Engineers Australia. Full accreditation (can only and) will be sought when first graduates are in the workforce in 2025. Once full accreditation has been achieved, graduates will be eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia. Full Chartered Professional Engineer status can then be achieved after a further five years of work experience in the engineering profession.
