COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Professional Engineering (Software Engineering specialisation) is designed to develop advanced technical knowledge, programming expertise, and professional engineering skills required for careers in software development, systems engineering, artificial intelligence, and large-scale computing systems. The core component includes essential software engineering units such as Software Requirements and Design, Software Testing and Quality Assurance, Cloud Computing, High Performance Computing, and a two-part Software Engineering Design Project. These units provide a strong foundation in designing, building, testing, and managing complex software systems while ensuring reliability, scalability, and performance. The program also emphasizes practical software development methodologies and industry-standard engineering practices. The specialisation is further strengthened through elective units that allow students to explore advanced areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data science, computational modelling, mobile and wireless computing, Internet of Things, cybersecurity, control systems, and digital system design. Additional interdisciplinary options include robotics, business communication, numerical methods, and problem-solving in complex engineering contexts. This flexibility allows students to tailor their studies toward emerging technology domains and industry needs. Overall, the curriculum integrates software design principles, advanced computing technologies, artificial intelligence, and engineering project work to prepare graduates for professional roles in software engineering, AI development, cloud computing, data science, cybersecurity, and technology innovation industries worldwide.
