Units indexed by faculty Master of Engineering Science (Research)Course code:1226 + Course abbreviation: MEngSc(Res) Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton; Malaysia) Course descriptionThe Master of Engineering Science is the initial postgraduate research degree offered by the department. Candidates commencing this degree often convert to the Doctor of Philosophy degree after one year of study. As with the Doctor of Philosophy, there are a very wide range of project topics available at any time in the general areas of computer systems and software engineering, control engineering, electronics, telecommunications engineering, electrical power systems, biomedical engineering and robotics. The major research activities in the department include: circuit theory and signal processing; antennas and wave propagation; internetworking and multimedia communications; ionospheric propagation; control systems; next-generation internet; video compression and archiving; optical fibre communications; optical computing; quantum computing; operations research applications to telecommunications; high-performance computing for simulating complex systems; discrete-event simulation of telecommunication networks; cogeneration; electronic design; semiconductor device modelling; computer software engineering; artificial intelligence; computer vision; ultrasonic sensing; robot sensor fusion; robot navigation and sensing; tactile sensing; autonomous aircraft; high-performance computing; mobile computing; power electronics; high-voltage engineering; monitoring and diagnostics of power plant; renewable energy and distributed generation; electric motors and drive systems; electric and hybrid vehicle propulsion systems; power system modelling and identification; power system dynamics; power quality improvement; power system reliability robust control; muscle physiology; muscle injury prevention; biomedical engineering; non-invasive techniques for monitoring substance in human body; auditory and vestibular systems; and prostheses. Electrical engineering is among the most rapidly developing areas of knowledge. The range of potential research topics changes frequently and students are encouraged to contact the department's postgraduate director by email at ecse.graduatestudies@eng.monash.edu.au. The Master of Engineering Science is usually completed by research only at the Clayton campus. Under special circumstances, the program may be conducted by external candidature.
