Learning Outcomes

1.
Graduates will be able to engage in effective professional communication (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency 3.2). This capability is enhanced by the Masters program, particularly via the ME project but also through the management electives, design course and industrial training. Graduates will be able to effectively communicate with each other, with other professional groups, and with the general community, in order to convey the principles and merits of designs and innovation, and of analytical results.
  • Professionals
  • Scholars
2.
Graduates will be able to exhibit a respect for, and understanding of, professional engineering practice in the mining engineering discipline (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies 1.6 and 3.1). This capability is enhanced in the Master's program via the ME project, engineering and technical management electives, compulsory design courses, and compulsory industrial training.
  • Scholars
  • Global Citizens
  • Professionals
  • Leaders
3.
Graduates will be able to demonstrate proficiency in applying engineering techniques, tools, and resources (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency 2.2). This outcome is developed within the Master's program via the compulsory design proficiency course and ME project.
  • Professionals
  • Leaders
  • Scholars
4.
Graduates will be able to demonstrate knowledge of contextual factors impacting the mining engineering discipline (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency 1.5). This capability is primarily attained via the engineering and technical management electives as well as compulsory industrial training.
  • Global Citizens
  • Professionals
  • Leaders
  • Scholars
5.
Graduates will be able to proficiently apply systematic approaches to carrying out engineering design and projects (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies 2.3, and 2.4). This outcome is developed within the Master's program via the ME project and compulsory design proficiency course. Graduates will develop an appreciation of, and ability to, engage in research and engineering design.
  • Professionals
  • Leaders
  • Scholars
6.
Graduates will be able to apply of established engineering methods to complex engineering problem solving (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency 2.1). After entry, this capability is enhanced by the Master's program, particularly via the compulsory ME project and core design course, such that students have the ability to analyse, criticise, and undertake design. Graduates will be capable of exercising advanced and creative problem solving skills when applied to unique and unfamiliar problems.
  • Professionals
  • Scholars
7.
Graduates will be able to demonstrate in-depth as well as broad understanding of the specialist body of knowledge of mining engineering (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency 1.3) This learning outcome is firstly developed within the Master's program following a sufficient foundation from an existing 4-year bachelor's degree, but particularly enhanced via substantial professional development and postgraduate elective choice. Graduates should be thoroughly versed in, and be able to apply, the advanced technologies relevant to their chosen discipline.
  • Global Citizens
  • Scholars
8.
Graduates will be able to discern knowledge development and research directions within the mining engineering discipline (satisfying Engineers Australia Stage 1 competency 1.4). This is particularly enhanced in the Master's program via postgraduate electives which reflect the current developments and research directions in the relevant discipline.
