Power generators are operating in an increasingly competitive market and power engineers working in the electricity generation industry require skill in both electrical and mechanical engineering. 

The University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology and Central Queensland University, together with CS Energy, Stanwell Corporation and Tarong Energy, have developed a new, world-class curriculum, specifically designed to accelerate the technical competency of power-generation engineers.  The Master of Engineering in Power Generation program offers professional engineers and those in para-professional roles the opportunity to accelerate their technical competency and fast-track their career in the power generation sector.

This program, with Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma options,  is an active collaboration between the generators, industry experts and the universities.  Students typically undertake courses from each of the partner universities, depending on their area of interest.

The ME(PowerGen) is delivered in intensive learning sessions both on campus and at generator sites, and so is suitable to both those in full-time employment and others.  Presently, the program is not available to international students, although they may be able to take courses as electives while enrolled in another specialisation of the ME program.
