Master Of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) (Power)

The Master of Professional Engineering (Accelerated) is the ideal two-year full-time degree for those engineers who have previously graduated with an undergraduate engineering degree in a related field seeking recognised accreditation to practice in Australia and overseas. The power specialisation will provide you with advanced skills to plan, design, construct, operate and maintain power systems and equipment. This accelerated version of our Master of Professional Engineering degree is designed to provide you with deep technical skills in your chosen field of engineering combined with professional development in the areas of communication, leadership, and time and resource management. It will also help you develop the sound communication, management and decision-making capabilities necessary to interpret and discuss complex issues in your area of specialisation. The program will provide you with the engineering professional practice and research skills that lead to recognition as an Australian graduate engineer. Career Pathways Graduates in power engineering may go on to become power transmission and generating systems engineers, grid maintenance and stability contractors and industrial power supply engineers. Additionally there is a strong demand from other power related industries, such as petrochemical engineering and mining. Future study options The University of Sydney is a research intensive institution with a strong track record of technology transfer, industry leadership and commercialisation. Research activities in the faculty focus on a wide range of areas from aerospace, biomedical, combustion, processing and manufacture, design, robotics, electronics, networks, wireless and satellite systems.
