Master of Engineering - Structures and Forensics

RMIT University

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Postgraduate
CRICOS: 00122A

This program explores ways of dealing with complex structural engineering challenges. It is specially designed to up-skill students' existing structural engineering capabilities by specialising in emerging advanced methods of structural materials and design practices, acquiring expertise in structural forensics and methods of extending the life expectancy of existing structures. This program addresses this gap in knowledge and will open up new career opportunities to you, enriching employment opportunities, professional development and career stability by specialising your structural engineering qualification.

Structure

  • Students collaborate on practical projects and research-based learning in areas of urban, commercial and civil infrastructure, specialising in: Design of future urban infrastructure
  • Practice of advanced structural assessment, refurbishment and retrofitting existing structures
  • Structural failures, forensics engineering and lessons learned
  • Dynamic response of structures and post-elastic performance under extreme loading environments
  • Systems engineering for structural engineers and asset managers to analyse complex systems
  • Ethics, liability and law.

Subjects

  • Engineering-structures and forensics

Standard entry requirements

  • An Engineers Australia-accredited four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree in civil engineering, at AQF level 8, or equivalent, that satisfies Engineers Australia's Stage 1 competency standards with a GPA of at least 2.0, out of 4.0, or equivalent
  • Or an Engineers Australia-accredited four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree in civil engineering or equivalent, that satisfies Engineers Australia's Stage 1 competency standards and a minimum of one year of relevant industry experience, or equivalent. The grade and discipline will be considered on a case-by-case basis
  • Or a four-year international Bachelor of Engineering degree in civil engineering or equivalent, recognised by the Washington Accord, where qualifications are considered equivalent to Australian engineering programs fully accredited by Engineers Australia, with a GPA of at least 2.0 out of 4.0 OR A four-year Bachelor of Engineering degree that satisfies the above condition, but the title does not specify the specialisation is
