Activities in this area fall into two major areas: Design of processing system disinfection for the elimination of contaminating micro-organisms, e.g. sterilisation and chilling and freezing operations with emphasis on the kinetic modelling of micro-organism behaviour. Design, modelling and simulation of processing systems for the production of recombinant proteins from genetically engineered micro-organisms and for the production of non-specific growth factors from by-product cheese whey.

Investigations in this area ranged from laser studies of the reactions of silicon and germanium associated with micro-electronic component manufacture to studies in catalysis and the thermal pyrolysis, combustion and gasification of coal. Reaction Engineering studies of coal processing have important ramifications in the study of 'greenhouse' gas production in association with combined cycle power generation systems, catalytic decomposition of nitric oxide and engine exhaust clean-up.
The objective of the Microalgal Biotechnology Group is to further the understanding of the ecology of microalgae. This will assist with the development of commercial-scale microalgal culturing techniques for the production of bioactive compounds, aquaculture feed, fine chemicals, and renewable fuels. Additionally, environmental applications such as CO2 bioremediation, control of excessive algal growth and development of management strategies for water supply managers are investigated. The Microalgal Biotechnology Group is a part of a national research group (BEAM), which focuses on photosynthetic light utilisation efficiency and carbon fixation, chlorophyll fluorescence, biochemistry of secondary metabolites, molecular biology and photo-bioreactor design and engineering.
The Mining and Geotechnical Engineering Research Group brings together capabilities in geostatistics, operations research, rock mechanics, and geotechnical engineering. We bring these capabilities together with a focus on improving the efficiency of mining operations, both below and above ground.
Entry to postgraduate coursework programs as a minimum requires a Bachelors degree or equivalent qualification from an approved institution as a qualification for entry. Some of the graduate certificates and graduate diplomas that are offered may be accepted as qualifying work for entry to a Masters program, or as professional qualifications in their own right. For further information, please see:
The Master of Software Engineering aims to provide graduates with the knowledge, tools and methods for defining software requirements, performing software design, construction, testing and maintenance tasks.
Graduates gain a demonstrated ability to design and construct large software systems and are qualified to secure rewarding technical careers in the software engineering industry.
Students who wish to proceed to further research study must complete an individual year-long research project in an area of software engineering instead of the usual year-long group project. Interested students should consult the program coordinator in their first year of study.
Students may convert to a Master of Software Engineering from a Master of Computing and Innovation after completing the equivalent of a major in computer science. Students seeking to convert between degrees are required to seek program advice from the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, as not all courses can be counted towards the new degree.

The Master of Marine Engineering offers students the opportunity to further develop and enhance their skills and expertise in this field. The variety of specialised coursework electives and study options enables students to meet their individual career goals as well as meeting industry-defined objectives. Industry-sponsored students can undertake workplace projects to enhance their practical experience.
The University of Adelaide delivers most of the courses, though courses from a number of other leading universities throughout Australia are also included.
Marine engineering programs are structured so that students can complete the degree in steps with the graduate certificate, graduate diploma, then the master's degree, providing an opportunity for career-life balance.
Intending students should consult with the program coordinator prior to commencement to check whether particular courses or projects will be available.

This degree offers students the chance to specialise in cutting edge technologies aligned to their career pathways. It is suitable for engineering graduates who wish to pursue further studies, as well as engineers with relevant work experience.
Aerospace engineering is focused on the development and use of new technologies and materials that are relevant to any high-tech industry including the aeronautical, space and defence industries.
The Master of Engineering comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. The foundation year consists of a set of courses designed to ensure that students acquire a level of expertise in the relevant specialisation. The program gives students the opportunity to study technical courses at an advanced level and the opportunity to engage in a research project.
An exit path will be available for students completing only the foundation year, after they satisfy a set requirement in the relevant discipline. In this case a graduate diploma will be awarded.
To remain in this program, students must maintain a high grade point average (GPA) throughout their candidature.

Civil and structural engineers create and maintain much of the physical infrastructure of society while managing and conserving natural resources. The goal is to do this in an environmentally sustainable manner, ensuring the provision of adequate infrastructure and natural resources for current generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
Civil and structural engineers are responsible for planning, designing and constructing bridges, buildings, tunnels, structures, roads, airports, harbours, water supply, dams, pipelines, sewerage treatment facilities, drainage, pollution control equipment and coastal/port facilities.

Civil and environmental engineering is concerned with assessing and managing the effects of human activity on the natural and built environments and doing it in a sustainable manner. This ensures the provision of adequate infrastructure and natural resources for current generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same.
Environmental engineers may be involved in environmental impact assessment, water resource management, pollution control, waste management or the planning and designing of engineering facilities to minimise their impact on the environment.
