The Master of Engineering Science is a research Master degree<br />
designed to provide for advanced level research in Computer,<br />
Communication, Electronic, or Information Engineering. In<br />
addition, it provides skills of research and the qualification for<br />
students who would like to pursue further postgraduate studies<br />
towards the Doctor of Philosophy.<br />
FIELDS OF STUDY<br />
The Master of Engineering Science program will be offered to<br />
students in areas such as digital signal and image processing,<br />
intelligent system engineering, microelectronics, photonics, VLSI<br />
systems, robotics, security technology, communication systems,<br />
broadband communication and networking, machine vision and<br />
machine learning.<br />
SUPERVISION<br />
The candidate will be supervised by one principal supervisor who<br />
may be assisted by one additional supervisor. The principal<br />

be specified by the principal supervisor.<br />
In any semester of full-time study a student will enrol in:<br />
ENS5101 Master Preliminary 30<br />
ENS5102 Master Preliminary 30<br />
In any semester of part-time study a student will enrol in:<br />
ENS5101 Master Preliminary 30<br />
Stage 1 consists of the preparation of a research proposal, the<br />
conduct of background research and participation in seminars and<br />
conferences. Although formal coursework is not a stipulated part<br />
of the award, coursework may be required and will be assigned by<br />
the award coordinator on an individual basis.<br />
STAGE 2<br />
The thesis component of this course is entirely research based and<br />
equivalent to 1 year of full-time study. Each semester students<br />
nominate if they wish to enrol into research thesis unit: ENS6200<br />
at 50 or 100% of full-time enrolment.<br />
Students are required to continue re-enrolling in the thesis<br />
component of their study until the thesis is submitted for<br />
examination.<br />
