This course at UTS provides an opportunity at the master's level for professional engineers to extend the knowledge and skills gained in their undergraduate studies in depth and breadth. 

The course follows an integrated approach to professional practice through professional engineering subjects, subjects relating to the major and sub-major, an independent project in at least one engineering field, and a set of electives.

This major allows students to experience the possibilities that arise through the convergence of telecommunications and electronic systems. 

5G networking, the Internet of Things (IoT), photonic and advanced transmission systems, and advanced signal processing techniques enable new models of communication that far exceed previous capabilities. 

These areas are underpinned by recent developments in microelectronics and an increasing emphasis on cybersecurity. 

In this major, students start with a foundation of communication protocols and wireless sensor networks (for IoT). 

From there, they can choose from various subjects, including next-generation cellular networks, software-defined networks, cybersecurity, adaptive signal processing and fabrication of sensors and components for IoT networks.

Students who wish to undertake a more substantial research project can transfer to the Master of Engineering (Advanced).
