Stream Outline

As with all streams under the Master of Engineering Science, the Systems and Control specialisation is underpinned by the attainment of disciplinary and advanced disciplinary knowledge, and the undertaking of an enquiry-based learning component. This stream offers a broad range of theoretical- and applications-based electives within the discipline of control systems engineering, including robust linear control, non-linear control systems, real-time computing and control, and computer vision Such a choice allows students the gain a depth and breadth of knowledge across several themes.

The stream provides a solid postgraduate program for electrical engineers wishing to upgrade their skills or further their knowledge.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

A student must hold a Bachelor of Engineering with at least Honours II/2 (or equivalent) or hold a Graduate Diploma of Engineering with at least a credit average, in a relevant discipline, or an equivalent qualification from UNSW or another recognised university or tertiary institution in order to be admitted to the stream. Relevant disciplines considered for entry include electrical engineering, as well as mechatronic engineering where a sound foundation in control systems is provided.
