COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Advanced Engineering (Robotic Construction Engineering) at Monash University requires the completion of 96 credit points and is structured to develop advanced engineering expertise, digital construction capabilities, and practical or research experience in modern construction technologies. Part A, Core Studies (24 credit points), provides foundational knowledge in advanced engineering practice, leadership, innovation, and problem-solving, preparing students for complex professional environments. Part B, Specialist Studies in Robotic Construction Engineering (36 credit points), focuses on the integration of robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, structural engineering, materials science, and construction processes. Students learn how these technologies are transforming the construction industry by enabling smarter, safer, and more efficient building methods. This component emphasises digital construction workflows, automated systems, and data-driven engineering decision-making. Part C, Advanced Practice (24 credit points), requires students to choose between an Industry Experience pathway or a Master’s Thesis Research pathway. The Industry Experience option provides hands-on exposure through real-world engineering projects and professional practice, while the Research Thesis option allows students to conduct independent, supervised research and develop advanced analytical and technical expertise. Part D, Specified Elective Studies (12 credit points), offers flexibility to explore complementary areas aligned with individual interests and career goals. Together, these components create a comprehensive qualification that prepares graduates for careers in construction automation, infrastructure development, robotics engineering, digital construction management, engineering consultancy, and technology-driven infrastructure innovation, enabling them to lead the transformation of the construction industry through advanced engineering solutions.
