Master of Professional Engineering
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of Professional Engineering lets graduates build on an existing engineering degree or change direction entirely, choosing from chemical, civil, electrical, materials or mechanical engineering specialisations while developing the management, ethical and intercultural skills needed to lead engineering projects rather than only execute technical work. The course explicitly covers how economic, social, ethical and environmental considerations affect professional engineering practice, alongside data analysis skills applied to real industrial scenarios and a mandatory Continuous Professional Development component covering industry work experience and career sessions. A final-year multidisciplinary design project puts theory into practice by having students work in teams to solve a genuine engineering problem, mirroring how engineering projects actually run in industry. It suits engineering graduates wanting to build leadership and project management capability on top of their technical training, particularly those aiming for roles that combine engineering expertise with team leadership in global, multidisciplinary business environments.
