The Master of Applied Engineering (MAppE) program at the School of Engineering, Monash University Malaysia, is designed for fresh graduates and working adults with science and engineering academic backgrounds. The program offers a unique feature — a two-year program that would enable science and related discipline degree holders to obtain an engineering Masters degree, providing a great potential to switch their careers. The coursework program guides students to advance their complex problem-solving skills in a cross-cultural environment. The program also offers a research pathway into a PhD program.
Students can choose to specialise in energy and sustainability, oil and fats processing, and industrial and robotics engineering.
A specialisation in energy and sustainability provides advanced knowledge and skills in renewable energy, energy utilisation and transformation, energy efficiency and management, industrial ecology and green buildings. One of the distinctive features of energy and sustainability specialisation is exposure to design activity of solar PV systems that would make students ready for the industrial market. Graduates will be able to lead the development in the energy sector with skills and insights in managing industrial challenges.
The oil and fats specialisation is industry-driven and it covers a full spectrum of the oils and fats industry, from upstream, midstream to downstream processing, with emphasis on sustainability. Lectures and specialist topics will be co-delivered by experienced industry practitioners. Students will have the opportunity to solve industry problems and gain hands-on experience using the state-of-the-art research facility hosted by Monash-Industry Palm Oil Education and Research Platform (MIPO). Students will also have the option to undertake short-term industry attachments to gain industry experience. Graduates of this specialisation may find employment or business opportunities in various industry sectors related to oil extraction, refineries, oleochemicals, food and energy production, and consumer goods manufacturing.
The third specialisation, industrial and robotics engineering, provides advanced engineering education in optimising industrial engineering system design from the perspective of productivity, cost and sustainability. Students will be exposed to a set of methodological concepts, principles and skills related to supply chain management, operations research, statistics, additive manufacturing, robotics and artificial intelligence for designing a process that is optimised and sustainable. After completing this course, graduates can apply this knowledge and skills to design, implement and improve systems in the manufacturing and services sectors.
“The new Master of Applied Engineering program at Monash University Malaysia is designed to equip students with future skills evolving around IR 4.0, sustainability, and cross-discipline. Working professionals and graduates can now choose from specialisations that can inspire and build their careers to the next level. The unique features of each of these specialisations would definitely bridge the knowledge and research gap between academia and industry. Our recent achievements (National Energy Awards 2021), quality research, industrial engagement in IR 4.0, and MIPO platform will develop innovative solutions through research, education and training,” shares course coordinator Dr Arshad Adam Salema.
The MAppE program also provides experience in industrial based projects. Students work alone or in teams to unpack problems and then create and execute solutions for an industrial case study.
The master’s program aims to produce graduates with the experience and hands-on skills needed to solve real-world problems related to the United Nations sustainable goals and Industry 4.0. Graduates can work in oil and gas, renewable energy, energy and power, construction, oleo-chemical, refinery, food and beverage, manufacturing, electrical and transport industries.
