School of Engineering and ICT Professional recognition
AQFThe Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the regulatory body for qualifications in Australia. Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) graduates are recognised as AQF Level 8; Master of Professional Engineering graduates as AQF 9.Engineers AustraliaGraduates meet all Stage 1 competencies of a professional engineer and are eligible for a Graduate membership of Engineers Australia.

Engineering undergraduate degreesMaster of Professional EngineeringEntry requirements / prerequisites– A Bachelor degree in Engineering (non-Washington Accord); or
– A Bachelor degree in Engineering majoring in a different specialisation than that to be undertaken under the MProfEng (Specialisaton); or
– A Bachelor degree in a science-based discipline with sufficient numerical skills to undertake the MProfEng (Specialisation) course
Plus:– Applicants who are nationals of and currently residing in a
country where English is not the official language, evidence of an IELTS or TOEFL test must be provided. For the MProfEng (Specialisation), an IELTS score of 6.0 or above (with no area below 6.0), or equivalent is required*.

Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaSmall class sizesSmall class sizes achieve more contact with the lecturer. About 450 undergraduate (just over 100 per year group).
Practical experienceEngineering students undergo 12 weeks of experience within the industry.
Hands on learningThe School of Engineering and ICT provides students with opportunities reflecting the practical nature of engineering, including participating in the Formula SAE competition.
Focus on skillsWe focus on giving the skills to learn, hence to specialise later, rather than teach content that might not be used.
FACULTY OF SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY 21
Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaSpecialisationLots of interaction between disciplines, but opportunity to specialise in an area of interest through final thesis.
Broad degreesBroad degree makes graduates very employable and very mobile. Our graduates are favoured by employers. Many other degrees specialise too soon.
InterdisciplinaryMany engineers (worldwide) have project management roles at some point in their career, and almost all major projects are interdisciplinary. Our graduates have a big advantage in being able to communicate effectively and at a technical level with engineers outside their own specialisation.

Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaQuality of educationStudents win significant competitive national prizes, and several of our honours students have published their work in international journals.
Sally Atherton: 2014 Rod McGee medal (for
civil students, one prize awarded
throughout all of Australia each year)
Lily Panton: 2015 Georgina Sweet
Fellowship to assist PhD work. (One awarded
nationally every 2 years to female student in any
branches of study)
Lauren Ward: 2014 John Monash
