Abstract
Engineering curricula are always subjected to changes as academics and university administrators take up prevailing ideas and respond to technological changes and operational challenges. In Australia, there is a need to meet interests of potential international and domestic students of varying backgrounds to pursue high-quality postgraduate studies. This paper describes the genesis of the coursework based Master of Engineering program at Western Sydney University (WSU) from its inception to the near future. It is shown how the structure of the program has dynamically changed to meet student needs and accreditation requirements.
