Overview

Master of Professional Engineering - Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications and Networking)

The electronics and communication fields represent two of the fastest-growing technology areas in the world.

With the rapid progress of information technology, the role of communications is becoming even more crucial for increasing industry efficiency and competition.

This major at Curtin University explores relevant topics in telecommunications and networking, like mobile radio communications, sensor networks and data network security.

During the course, you will gain at least 12 weeks of exposure to engineering professional practice and keep a formal log book to record your experience. 

You can further investigate and apply emergent technologies in telecommunications and networking systems during your final-year project.

Professional practice can comprise a combination of real-world experiences. 

Examples include paid and voluntary work placements, university-based experience in industrial projects, attending extra-curricular technical lectures and workshops, and industry site visit in Australia and/or overseas.

This major sits within the Master of Professional Engineering degree. Therefore, you will apply for the Master of Professional Engineering to apply for this major.

The course is not suitable for graduates of a four-year undergraduate degree with Engineers Australia accreditation in the same discipline.
