BY ENGINEERS, FOR ENGINEERS All UTS: Engineering courses are reviewed regularly by our Industry Advisory Network which ensures that they remain completely in line with current industry practice. Our postgraduate management courses are designed by professionals and academics with a thorough knowledge of management in technical environments. People who understand the industry teach subjects using real-life examples relevant to your profession.

INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONUTS: Engineering is actively engaged with institutions around the world, such as MIT, through adjunct professors, collaborative research and technology sharing. This means that our teaching is always up-to-date with the latest developments in the field, nationally and internationally.

INDUSTRY-CONNECTIONS AND ACCREDITATIONOur industry collaborations include an ongoing relationship with global telecommunications leader, Alcatel–Lucent since 2000. You can obtain a globally recognised industry certification as part of your UTS: Engineering degree.

OUTSTANDING FACILITIES Most of your subjects will be taught in the new Engineering and IT Building. This state-of-the-art environmentally friendly building features teaching spaces and laboratories of the future including collaborative theatres and classrooms, purpose-built laboratories and a 3D data visualisation arena. Read more about the building on page 4.

STRIKE A WORK-LIFE BALANCEBenefit from classes scheduled to minimise disruption to your professional commitments. All courses are available part or full-time, and you can vary the number of subjects you take per semester if you have more or less time available to study.

Courses are delivered through a combination of distance, block and weekly attendance and most classes are held during the evening1.

RECOGNITION OF YOUR PREVIOUS STUDIES… If you have completed a recognised Bachelor’s degree in engineering, you may apply for credit recognition of up to 4 subjects in any of the Master’s by coursework degrees.

WHY ENGINEERING AT UTS?

WHETHER YOU WANT TO MOVE UP THE MANAGEMENT LADDER, DEEPEN YOUR TECHNICAL SKILLS, OR BOTH, UTS OFFERS A WIDE RANGE OF MASTER’S DEGREES, AND GRADUATE CERTIFICATES TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS.

1 Note that delivery options vary by subject, and not all delivery modes are available for all subjects.2 On the condition that the subjects for which credit is granted are appropriate for the award being studied.3 2013/2014 edition of QS World University Rankings for Top 50 under 50.

… AND EXPERIENCE UTS recognises that you may have developed your skills through on-the-job training, vocational training or a combination of both. In this case, your prior learning can still be taken into account. Your likely pathway is to begin with a graduate certificate, articulating into a master’s program with no time lost.

ARTICULATED PROGRAMS TO FIT YOUR NEEDSThe majority of our courses are fully articulated, meaning that you can begin with a four subject (24 credit point) graduate certificate and apply to have your points credited towards an appropriate master’s degree. Or, if you complete the first 24 credit points of the master’s and choose not to continue with your studies, you may still graduate with a graduate certificate.

UTS: A TOP PERFORMING UNIVERSITYUTS is a young and vibrant university with an international reputation, and because of its quality teaching and research, it now ranks first in Australia and 20th in the world for universities under 50 years old3.

Greg PetersMaster of Engineering Management Engineering Design Manager, SABRE Autonomous Solutions

“UTS is well known for its practice-based education, the masters course scheduled night time and block mode subjects in alternate semesters so that I could continue to work full-time and study part-time. The course is well structured around the needs of working students. The location next to Central station made the trip into uni quick and efficient.

“My studies have given me the technical background and vocabulary required to communicate with the numerous different departments I deal with; contract accountancy firms, sales and procurement teams at clients and even pitching our company to experienced investors and business gurus. It has given me an understanding of more than just the technical engineering point of view, which has increased my value to the employer.

“Australia’s local market is changing, some industries like the automotive sector are in decline, while others, particularly advanced manufacturing and biomedical are growing. Modern engineers must be quick to adapt, open to constant learning and be ready to solve problems in jobs that did not exist when they started their bachelor’s degree.”

Brian Doyle Master of Engineering Studies† Technical Expert, Telstra Australia

“I work as a technical expert at Telstra with cellular mobile platforms. I started with this company in 1982 as a trainee technical officer, so felt a need to pursue further studies to extend my knowledge with up-to-date practical information. I found the UTS degree a perfect fit. I started with the UTS Graduate Certificate in Engineering and then progressed to the masters degree program, finding the transition far less onerous than I expected!

I’ve been able to apply what I learnt in the course to my job and workplace. One subject studied, Communication Protocols, has been particularly useful in my investigative role into data throughput issues in wireless networks.

I was able to balance work, study and family commitments by studying one subject per semester and had support from my family, Telstra and my manager. I was also surprised that I found there were no barriers as a result of the long gap between my studies aided by excellent support from approachable and knowledgeable lecturers.” † The Master of Engineering is a revised version of the

Dr Teresa Vidal-CallejaUTS Chancellor’s Research Fellow UTS Centre for Autonomous Systems

Dr Teresa Vidal-Calleja is UTS Chancellor’s Research Fellow at the Centre for Autonomous Systems and teaches Mechanical Design for the UTS Mechanical Engineering program. She received her Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Cinvestav in Mexico City and also has a PhD in Automatic Control, Computer Vision and Robotics from the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona on her list of credentials.

Her primary research interests include Robotic Perception, Autonomous Navigation and Active Sensing, to name a few. She is currently researching “Perception for Autonomy”, which focuses on the sensing algorithms to make systems autonomous, working with electromagnetic, acoustic and 3D sensors.

Dr Vidal-Calleja is inspired by her vision of having robots used in hazardous environments such as mines, pipes, sewers and bridges, or in areas with no human access. She hopes to develop sufficiently robust and efficient perception algorithms for deployment in completely autonomous systems to perform tasks that are dangerous or even impossible for humans.

During her PhD studies, she was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Oxford’s Active Vision Lab and at the University of Sydney’s Australian Centre for Field Robotics. She has also presented her research at various leading international robotics laboratories, including Virginia Tech.

Building on 15 years of strong cross disciplinary research in electrical machines and power electronics at UTS, the Centre for Intelligent Mechatronic Systems (CIMS) integrates the disciplines of mechanical, electrical and electronics engineering and computer systems. Its four main research directions are: autonomous robots (operating in unstructured environments and for infrastructure maintenance, search and rescue, health care and road vehicles); electrical machines (new materials and topologies, system optimisation, variable speed control and compact, low temperature fuel cells); automotive systems (performance, comfort, fuel efficiency, road safety and emission control); and human factors (physiological and psychological aspects of human-machine and human environment interaction).

The Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater (CTWW) undertakes research to ensure the sustainable management of our water resources in both urban and rural environments, here in Australia and internationally.

This collaborative research centre links researchers, government, industry and community partners through its research programs, which include:

> solid liquid separation and filtration technologies in water treatment

> innovative biological treatment systems for wastewater treatment

> membrane hybrid and nanotechnology systems in water, wastewater, and stormwater treatment, water reuse, and desalination

> in-situ barrier and other systems for treatment of groundwater, surface and ground water hydrology

> bio solid and waste management > urban water cycles > soil/aquifer management and modification

> flood management and catchment modelling for flood prediction.

The Centre for Energy Policy (CEP) addresses contemporary energy and environmental policy issues in national and international contexts. Energy market reforms, environmental

policy options, and energy-economy interactions are key areas of focus.

Research undertaken in the centre is policy-oriented, applied, and cross disciplinary, emphasising the weaving together of technical, business, economic, legal, social, political and philosophical dimensions of energy, environmental and economic policies. The interdisciplinary research skill base brought together in the Centre for Health Technologies (CHT) is unique in Australia in the development of medical devices and systems. The CHT has two research streams: biomedical devices and biotechnology science. Its focus is on health and disease processes, the development of new devices, and advanced methods for the early detection, diagnosis and rehabilitation of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurological disorders and cancer. Its research has already produced several new device technologies which are at the cutting edge of biomedical engineering and science.

The Centre for Real-Time Information Networks (CRIN) seeks to apply real-time information and communication technologies to engineering systems that are designed to provide social benefit in Australia. The centre's areas of interest include national security, healthcare diagnosis and monitoring, environmental and resource monitoring and the smart use of the internet and the web in supporting industry. Its five primary research themes are: real-time web engineering; networked sensor information processing; wireless communication networks; network management; and architecture-based engineering. Established in 1996, the Centre for Built Infrastructure Research (CBIR) is one of the earliest research centres in UTS. The centre, aiming at addressing emerging needs of Australia relating to infrastructure, has four main research strengths:

1. Dynamic and structural engineering (structural health monitoring, smart materials/structures, sensing technology, wind/earthquake engineering)

2. Timber engineering (timber-concrete composite flooring systems, stress laminated timber bridge decks)

3. Geotechnical engineering (pavement engineering, ground improvement techniques, remediation of landfill sites)

4. Materials engineering (innovative construction materials, enhanced sustainability, serviceability and durability).

David FoxMaster of Engineering by Research General Manager, L&A Pressure Welding Pty Ltd

“The UTS ME by research program offered an opportunity to study current Australian manufacturing challenges being faced by my employer in an academic context. The program’s structure provided tailored hands-on learning while delivering robust business solutions to the host organisation.

“Lecturers in UTS engineering vary greatly in their industry experience and the style of teaching they bring to the lecture. For the most part there is a great focus on connecting theories with practical examples through thoughtful assignments, group work and laboratories exercises. In general engineering staff are approachable and offer sound advice in support of students questions even if the topic is not of relevance to the subject regime they teach.

“When considering post graduate studies, look beyond the title of the qualification and decide on what you really want to gain in terms of knowledge and how that knowledge can be applied. Be clear about the approach and sure of the time commitment required. While it is important in any degree to achieve beyond making the grade, postgraduate study, particularly research, can really open the door to a higher learning experience.”
