2. Requirements

To qualify for the award of the Master of Professional Engineering in this specialisation, a candidate must complete 96 credit points, including:

(a) 48 credit points of Core units

(b) ENGG5217 Practical Experience

(c) A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 credit points of Specialist Depth Electives

(d) A minimum of 12 and a maximum of 18 credit points of Specialist Breadth Electives

(e) A minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 credit points of Management Elective units

(f) A minimum of 12 credit points of Project or Research Pathway units

(g) Candidates undertaking the Research Pathway, replace 12 credit points of elective units with Research Pathway units

Admission to candidature

Admission to candidature requires: EITHER (a) a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Sydney, OR (b) equivalent qualification, with a minimum credit average; OR (c) a non-engineering bachelor's degree with a minimum credit average, with studies equivalent to 48 credit points in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, computing or statistics, as related to the intended engineering specialisation.

All candidates for admission must have prior learning equivalent to 48 credit points in total, which, in the estimation of the Dean, is comparable to the requirements for the first year of a Bachelor of Engineering at this University in the stream sought for admission.

Credit for previous study

Candidates with a Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent in the relevant discipline, and who have reached an acceptable level of academic achievement in their prior degree, may be eligible for a reduction of volume in learning of up to 48 credit points.

A maximum of 72 credit points may be granted towards the Master of Professional Engineering from external postgraduate studies where no award has been, or will be made, provided the studies are acceptable to the Program Director Dean and are equivalent to units of study offered in the Master of Professional Engineering.

Candidates transferring from the Master of Engineering to the Master of Professional Engineering may transfer up to 24 credit points provided units are equivalent to units of study offered in the Master of Professional Engineering. Any additional credit is subject to the approval by the Dean.

Progression

Candidates are required to meet the progression requirements as specified in the University's Coursework Rule.

4. Pathways

Capstone Project

Type	CP	CP From
Core	6	CHNG5020: Capstone Project A
Core	6	CHNG5021: Capstone Project B

Note: Capstone Project must be completed by all students, unless undertaking Research Pathway (conditions below). Capstone Project is normally completed across two semesters in two stages through CHNG5020 (6cp) and CHNG5021 (6cp). However, it may also be completed in a single semester (12 cp).

Extended Capstone Project

Type	CP	CP From
Core	6	CHNG5020: Capstone Project A
Core	12	CHNG5022: Capstone Project B Extended

Note: Students take Capstone Project units CHNG5020 and CHNG5022 (total 18 cp) in place of Capstone Project CHNGE5021 and 6 cp of elective units.

Students achieving an average mark of 70% or higher are eligible for the Extended Capstone Project.

MIPP Pathway (Major Industrial Project Placement)

Type	CP	CP From
Core	24	CHNG5205: Major Industrial Placement Project

Note: MIPP pathway students take CHNG5205 Major Industrial Project Placement (24 credit points) in place of the Engineering Project units (12 credit points) plus CHNG9402 Chemical Engineering Design A, ENGG5217 and one of the electives from the Specialist Units of Study.

Research Pathway

Type	CP	CP From
Core	12	CHNG5222: Dissertation A Note: Department permission required for enrolment In order to enrol in a project, students must first secure an academic supervisor in an area that they are interested. The topic of your project must be determined in discussion with the supervisor. The supervisor can come from any of the Engineering Departments, however, they need to send confirmation of their supervision approval to the Postgraduate Administrator.
Core	12	CHNG5223: Dissertation B Note: Department permission required for enrolment In order to enrol in a project, students must first secure an academic supervisor in an area that they are interested. The topic of your project must be determined in discussion with the supervisor. The supervisor can come from any of the Engineering Departments, however, they need to send confirmation of their supervision approval to the Postgraduate Administrator.

Note: Research pathway students take Dissertation units CHNG5222 and CHNG5223 (total 24 cp) in place of Capstone Project units and 12 cp of elective units.

Students achieving an average mark of 75% or higher are eligible for the Research Pathway.
