  Introduction
  
  The course addresses the needs of a professional engineer in pursuing a higher degree by recognising both their experience and time constraints. The research component of a traditional masters degree has been replaced by industry based project work which the student can tie in with their work commitments. Students attend course topics, intensive block programs, and resource-based learning through distance education mode.
  
  Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
  
  A Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical Engineering) or equivalent degree majoring in Electrical Power. In addition, proof of employment associated with the power industry or at least one year's experience in the power industry is required if not currently employed.
  
  Recognition of Prior Learning
  
  Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis. Recognition of prior learning not exceeding two-thirds of the required credits, may be granted to a student transferring from another program at a recognised institution,with satisfactory completion of equivalent coursework and/or proof of professional training or substantial work experience gained in industry.
