Abstract | The innovative Master of Engineering Practice (MEP) program allows experienced Engineering Technologists from diverse cultural, educational and employment backgrounds to re-engage in higher education and undertake learning experiences that are tailored to their individual needs and facilitate their progression to Professional Engineer. The MEP program enables students, who generally work full-time and study part-time, to use their workplace learning to complete at least half of the courses in the program. This distance education program, which is the only engineering program of its type in the world, results from a mutually beneficial collaboration between the University of Southern Queensland and Engineers Australia, who had identified the need for an accessible, efficient and relevant articulation pathway for experienced Engineering Technologists to progress their careers. The program is accredited by Engineers Australia and is enabling students and graduates to advance their careers. |
