Fluids Engineering

Course overview

The Earth’s biosphere is completely immersed in environmental fluids. Air and water are both considered fluids and therefore every living creature on the planet is affected by the behaviour and quality of these media.

A postgraduate specialisation in Fluids Engineering will teach you about fluid mechanics and engineering systems that are associated with the fluid environment.

Areas of study include wind engineering, reservoir stream and coastal engineering, advanced computational fluid dynamics and advanced water resources management.

This degree has been given provisional accreditation at the level of Professional Engineering by the industry governing body, Engineers Australia.

Course requirements

Candidates for the Master of Professional Engineering (Fluids Engineering) complete 144 credit points as listed in the unit of study table.
