Master of Engineering, Master of Engineering Management (Computer Control Engineering)

2 Years On Campus Masters Program

University of Technology Sydney

Program Overview

This integrated 2-year program combines the Master of Engineering (Computer Control Engineering) with the Master of Engineering Management, allowing students to build advanced technical expertise alongside engineering leadership and management capabilities. It is designed for professional engineers seeking to progress into technical, project and management roles, with learning combining major-specific engineering subjects, professional engineering studies, electives and an independent graduate project.

Curriculum Structure:

Year 1: Students develop their professional engineering and management foundation through subjects such as Economic Evaluation, Leadership and Responsibility, Applied Financial Management, Quality Planning and Analysis and Value Chain Engineering Systems, alongside Computer Control Engineering major subjects. They also begin Engineering Project Preparation, developing the planning, research and project-management skills needed for their major-specific graduate project.

Year 2: Students deepen their Computer Control Engineering expertise through advanced major subjects and professional engineering electives while completing Engineering Graduate Project, applying their technical knowledge to an independent engineering project. Management-focused study continues to strengthen skills in areas such as project management, risk management and engineering decision-making, preparing graduates for leadership responsibilities within technology-driven engineering organisations.

Focus Areas: Computer control engineering, automation and control, professional engineering practice, engineering management, project management, financial management, leadership, risk management, systems engineering, engineering project development.

Learning Outcomes: Advanced engineering knowledge, control and automation problem-solving, engineering project planning, leadership and decision-making, financial and quality management, systems thinking, risk management, independent engineering research and professional communication.

Professional Alignment (Accreditation): The program awards the Master of Engineering in the selected engineering major and the Master of Engineering Management as an integrated dual qualification, combining discipline-specific engineering preparation with professional engineering and management capabilities.

Reputation (Employability Rankings): UTS is ranked #87 globally and #9 in Australia in the QS World University Rankings 2027 and #7 in Australia for graduate employability in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026. UTS also reports 90.7% of graduates employed three years after graduation in the 2025 Graduate Outcomes Survey – Longitudinal.
