Master of Professional Engineering (61550) Note: This course is only available to re-enrolling students.
Applicability of the Student Rules, policies and procedures 1.(1) The Student Rules in the Student Procedures, Rules and Policies section apply to students in this course. (2) The policies and procedures in the Student Procedures, Rules and Policies section apply except as otherwise indicated in the rules for this course.
Academic Conduct Essentials module 2.(1) Except as stated in (2), a student who enrols in this course for the first time irrespective of whether they have previously been enrolled in another course of the University, must undertake the Academic Conduct Essentials module (the ACE module). (2) A student who has previously achieved a result of Ungraded (UP) for the ACE module is not required to repeat the module. (3) A student who has not achieved a result of Ungraded (UP) for the ACE module when their progress status is assessed will not have made satisfactory progress even if they have met the other requirements for satisfactory progress in the rules for this course. (4) A student who does not make satisfactory progress in of (3) is assigned the progress status of 'On Probation', unless they have been assigned a progress status of 'Suspended' or 'Excluded' for failure to meet other satisfactory progress requirements set out in these rules.
ission 3. To be considered for ission to this course an applicant must have— (a) a bachelor's degree of this University with a major in Engineering Science (MJD-ENGSC or MJS-ENGSC), or equivalent as recognised by the Faculty, including the relevant pathway for the chosen specialisation; or (b) a Bachelor of Engineering, or equivalent as recognised by the Faculty, from a university other than this University with the equivalent of a weighted average mark of at least 65 per cent and suitable
preparation for the chosen specialisation as recognised by the Faculty; or (c)(i) a bachelor's degree of this University with a weighted average mark of at least 65 per cent, or equivalent as recognised by the Faculty; and (ii) completed the Master of Professional Engineering Preliminary course of this University including the pathway for the chosen specialisation.
Articulation 4. This course does not form part of an articulated course.
Course structure 5.(1) The course consists of units to a total value of 96 points which must include course core units and units comprising one of the following specialisations: Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical and Electronic Engineering Environmental Engineering Mechanical Engineering Mining Engineering Software Engineering (2) Units must be selected in accordance with the course structure, as set out in these rules.
Satisfactory progress 6.(1) Subject to (2), to make satisfactory progress in a calendar year a student must units to a value of at least half the total value of units in which they remain enrolled after the final date for withdrawal without academic penalty. (2) A student who fails a unit twice is not permitted to enrol again in that unit unless the Faculty approves otherwise.
Progress status 7.(1) A student who makes satisfactory progress is assigned the status of 'Good Standing'. (2) Unless the Faculty determines otherwise because of exceptional circumstances— (a) a student who does not make satisfactory progress for the first time is assigned a progress status of 'On Probation'; (b) a student who does not make satisfactory progress for the second time is assigned a progress status of 'Suspended'; (c) a student who does not make satisfactory progress for the third time is assigned a progress status of 'Excluded'.
See also Rule 2(4).
Award with distinction 8. To be awarded the degree with distinction a student must achieve a course weighted average mark (WAM) of at least 80 per cent in— (a) all units attempted as part of the course that are awarded a final percentage mark; and (b) all relevant units undertaken in articulating courses of this University that are awarded a final percentage mark; and (c) all units completed at this University that are credited to the master's degree course.
Requirements for applying for an articulated or alternative exit award 9.(1) A student who withdraws from the course before completing the course requirements but after completing units to the value of 24 points may apply to the Faculty to be awarded the Graduate Certificate in Engineering. (2) A student who withdraws from the course before completing the course requirements but after completing units to the value of 48 points may apply to the Faculty to be awarded the Graduate Diploma in Engineering.
Additional rules Professional practicum 10.(1) Students are required to complete at least 12 weeks' practical experience (GENG5000 Professional Practicum1) in an engineering environment as approved by the Faculty. (2) With the of the Faculty, students are expected to make their own arrangements for practical experience.2 (3) The Faculty may, on written application by a student and on production of satisfactory evidence, accept work completed by the student prior to acceptance into the course as fulfilling the requirements of (1). (4) Students must submit a report on work completed for the practical experience required under (1) or on work accepted by the Faculty under Rule 10(3) and a Certificate of Practical Work Performed.
Substitution 11. Where a student has completed relevant studies in a course accredited by Engineers Australia, the Faculty may permit or require a student to substitute for units specified under the course structure (except common course core units) up to a value of 24 points, units of equivalent value from the course structure (except common course core units), providing that no more than 48 points are completed at Level 4. 1 Students do not enrol in the professional practicum units. Upon successful completion, the appropriate unit is added to their enrolment and result released together with the results for their other enrolled units for the
semester. 2 To facilitate their efforts, students should seek advice from of the Faculty and with the Careers Centre.
Course structure Key to availability of units: S1 = Semester 1; S2 = Semester 2; S3 = Semester 3 or summer teaching period
T1 = Trimester 1; T2 = Trimester 2; T3 = Trimester 3 NS = non-standard teaching period; OS = offshore teaching period N/A = not available in 2014; * = to be advised Note that the unit availability does not form part of the rules. As availability may be subject to change, for the most up-to-date information consult the Timetable at http://www.timetable.uwa.edu.au/. All units have a value of six points unless otherwise stated.
