About the course

Designed and delivered by a team of experienced industry-based tutors, this course will extend and enhance your current knowledge and technical skills, giving you the edge needed for a successful career in telecommunications and networking.

The course is designed to provide you with strong foundational knowledge, focusing on the planning, design, implementation, management and maintenance of telecommunication systems and networks. Hands-on practical work with the latest telecommunication hardware and software technology is an essential part of the course. Study a broad range of electives in IT, computer networking, systems analysis, and security to graduate ready to take on a range of roles in the industry.

Take your knowledge beyond the classroom and apply it to real-world settings in your industry internship. You’ll gain valuable experience while expanding your network for future job opportunities. The course also helps you develop the “soft skills” employers are looking for, such as communication, collaboration and project management.

Change the way you learn with Work Integrated Learning and Capstone Projects

As part of the Master of Engineering (Telecommunication) degree, you will have access to the Work Integrated Learning unit and two Project Units:

  • ME700 Industry Experience;
  • ME603 Project 1; and
  • ME604 Project 2.

MIT’s School of IT & Engineering has designed these units to provide you with real-world experience, working for an industry client. The Industry Experience unit will require you to undertake twelve weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time) industry placement. The additional two project units will provide you with a capstone final year project in a team environment through research, analysis and development in the Telecommunications industry. You will tackle complex real-world problems with technical and creative skills.

Our past students have worked on capstone projects such as:

  • Internet Security - Detection of phishing websites using Machine Learning Framework Application
  • Education - Designing and implementation of Student Attendance system via Mobile devices
  • Mobile Computing - Development of Inductive Power Coupled Charger (Wireless Charger) for small devices
  • Telecommunication- Algorithm Development for Data distribution modelling in the preparation phase of the Enhanced Content-Centric Network (ECCN)
  • Wearable tech - Sensor design for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) using Raspberry Pi
  • Telecommunication - Development of Algorithm to add Positioning Capability to LoRa wireless network without GPS receiver

As an MIT student, you will have access to state-of-the-art labs and facilities. All of MIT’s labs are equipped with the latest software to hone your skill. You will also get access to MIT’s Library of the latest books/ eBooks and hundreds of Academic online publications that will keep you knowledgeable of the latest and greatest. With 24 hours of digital access, you are never too far away from the latest news and journals in the academic/research space.

Learn from experts

Our school attracts some of the best minds in the engineering and networking field, like IoT, mobile and 4G expert Professor Johnson Agbinya, also Head of School (SITE).

Some Remarks

  • The program is available each intake but note that some units of study are subject to quotas and minimum enrolment requirements.
  • Not all units of study are available every Trimester, and changes in program structure occur from time to time.

Program structures and units are subject to change through the process of regular course revision.  There is no guarantee that every unit will be offered in any particular trimester.

Industry Experience

A crucial part of Master of Engineering (Telecommunication) is, it has the Work Integrated Learning component through the unit ME700. This enables the student to put their theoretical knowledge into practice in a real workplace. This program uses the institution's partnerships with industry to give students access to a range of employers.

This is a mandatory component for awarding of the degree. Students are required to undertake Industry Placement of twelve weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time).

If a third party is required to find the placement, a fee of up to $2,500 (currently) will incur - for which the student is responsible. This industry experience is designed to meet Engineers Australia accreditation requirements.

Overview

About the course

Designed and delivered by a team of experienced industry-based tutors, this course will extend and enhance your current knowledge and technical skills, giving you the edge needed for a successful career in telecommunications and networking.

The course is designed to provide you with strong foundational knowledge, focusing on the planning, design, implementation, management and maintenance of telecommunication systems and networks. Hands-on practical work with the latest telecommunication hardware and software technology is an essential part of the course. Study a broad range of electives in IT, computer networking, systems analysis, and security to graduate ready to take on a range of roles in the industry.

Take your knowledge beyond the classroom and apply it to real-world settings in your industry internship. You’ll gain valuable experience while expanding your network for future job opportunities. The course also helps you develop the “soft skills” employers are looking for, such as communication, collaboration and project management.

Change the way you learn with Work Integrated Learning and Capstone Projects

As part of the Master of Engineering (Telecommunication) degree, you will have access to the Work Integrated Learning unit and two Project Units:

  • ME700 Industry Experience;
  • ME603 Project 1; and
  • ME604 Project 2.

MIT’s School of IT & Engineering has designed these units to provide you with real-world experience, working for an industry client. The Industry Experience unit will require you to undertake twelve weeks (full-time) or 24 weeks (part-time) industry placement. The additional two project units will provide you with a capstone final year project in a team environment through research, analysis and development in the Telecommunications industry. You will tackle complex real-world problems with technical and creative skills.

Our past students have worked on capstone projects such as:

  • Internet Security - Detection of phishing websites using Machine Learning Framework Application
  • Education - Designing and implementation of Student Attendance system via Mobile devices
  • Mobile Computing - Development of Inductive Power Coupled Charger (Wireless Charger) for small devices
  • Telecommunication- Algorithm Development for Data distribution modelling in the preparation phase of the Enhanced Content-Centric Network (ECCN)
  • Wearable tech - Sensor design for Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) using Raspberry Pi
  • Telecommunication - Development of Algorithm to add Positioning Capability to LoRa wireless network without GPS receiver

As an MIT student, you will have access to state-of-the-art labs and facilities. All of MIT’s labs are equipped with the latest software to hone your skill. You will also get access to MIT’s Library of the latest books/ eBooks and hundreds of Academic online publications that will keep you knowledgeable of the latest and greatest. With 24 hours of digital access, you are never too far away from the latest news and journals in the academic/research space.

Learn from experts

Our school attracts some of the best minds in the engineering and networking field, like IoT, mobile and 4G expert Professor Johnson Agbinya, also Head of School (SITE).
