MAHE and Macquarie Offer Pathway for Civil and EEE Engineering

Macquarie University ranked among the top 10 universities in Australia, and Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), a prominent educational institution in India, have established a significant articulation agreement to create a distinct pathway for students in Civil and Electrical and Electronics Engineering. This agreement aligns with the dedication of both institutions to cultivate engineers who are globally proficient, combining fundamental knowledge with advanced skills.

This collaboration emphasizes the advantages of both organizations in providing academic excellence and international exposure. Through the integration of fundamental studies at MAHE with specialized training and practical applications at Macquarie University, students will acquire the skills and knowledge needed to tackle complicated engineering problems.

In line with this agreement, students will gain from a distinctive 2+2 articulation and credit acknowledgment setup. They will finish the first two years of their Bachelor of Technology (BTech) course in Civil Engineering or Electrical and Electronics Engineering at MAHE, followed by two additional years at Macquarie University in Sydney to obtain a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil Engineering or Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Prof. Aman Oo, Dean of Engineering at Macquarie University stated, “Our partnership with Manipal Academy of Higher Education is a robust step towards advancing engineering education. By bridging theoretical learning with practical, real-world application, the proposed program will cultivate academic distinction and provide students with international exposure and technical expertise. We aim to collaborate to empower students to be agile, world-class engineers set to contribute meaningfully to the future of engineering.”

During the initial two years at MAHE, students will build a base in engineering concepts by taking courses such as Engineering Design, Engineering Mathematics, and Computer Programming, in addition to essential subjects like Geotechnical Engineering and Electrical Circuits. These years will equip students for advanced learning and real-world applications in their selected field.

In the last two years at Macquarie University, students will explore more specialized subjects. Students in Civil Engineering will explore advanced topics including Structural Analysis, Water and Wastewater Engineering, and Transport Engineering. Students of Electrical and Electronics Engineering will concentrate on subjects such as Power Electronics, Digital Circuits and Systems, and Electrical Machines. The program will conclude with capstone projects, allowing students to combine their knowledge and address practical engineering challenges.  

The final years result in capstone projects and targeted electives, enabling students to utilize their knowledge and ready themselves for professional careers in their chosen fields.
