The Master of Engineering is designed to help you develop your research skills and enhance your knowledge in the field of engineering. There are two pathways: Research (includes a thesis), or Coursework (includes a research project). We’re proud to be home to a number of internationally renowned research institutes and centres, and many of our students complete their research project in collaboration with these well-known research entities. AUT's expertise in engineering ranges from telecommunications to materials and manufacturing technologies, and from industrial optimisation to engines and vehicles. There are two pathways: Research (includes a thesis) Coursework (includes a research project) Research pathway Students in this pathway will focus on academic research, closely working with one of AUT's well-established research centres. An academic supervisor will be appointed to guide and direct you for the duration of the thesis. Applicants admitted on the basis of a postgraduate diploma or honours degree who have completed a Research Methods paper may be permitted to enrol directly into the thesis. You need to complete: ENGE802 Engineering Research Methodology (15 points) ENGE999 Thesis (120 points) And 45 points from the engineering papers below Coursework pathway You need to complete: ENGE802 Engineering Research Methodology (15 points) ENGE997 Research Project (60 points) And 105 points from the engineering papers Engineering papers General engineering papers Architectural Engineering and Construction Engineering papers Computer Engineering/Biomedical Technology papers Manufacturing/ Materials Technologies/ Mechanical papers Power/Energy System Engineering papers Telecommunications Engineering papers Career opportunities Engineering and general management Industrial research roles across a variety of sectors Opportunities to become a researcher in higher education establishments
