They will also be able to evaluate alternative projects and policies in a rigorous manner, plan and execute the development of infrastructure projects, communicate their arguments effectively to teams and clients and critically evaluate their and others' work.
Participants will have a four-year engineering or science degree
or a three-year degree with appropriate postgraduate qualifications.
Alternatively, students can articulate from graduate certificate then the
postgraduate diploma.
Articulation from postgraduate diploma - students should complete 72 credits
comprising four additional electives not already completed for the postgraduate
diploma. A maximum of three electives can be chosen from Engineering, or
Business and Economics.

maximum of three electives can be chosen from Engineering, or Business and
Economics.
Subject to individual assessment, credit may be granted for up to 50 per cent of the total course on the basis of work of equivalent standard successfully completed at another institution, and up to 25 per cent for work completed outside the Engineering faculty at Monash University but which has not formed part of the work presented for any other degree.
