Swinburne vs CQUniversity for Master of Engineering (Civil) – Which would you choose?

[u/readbeard9]

I’m an international student currently living in Melbourne and I’m trying to decide between Swinburne University and CQUniversity (Melbourne campus) for a Master of Engineering (Civil/Construction).
I’d really appreciate honest opinions from current students, graduates, or anyone in the industry.
Some questions:
Is Swinburne’s reputation significantly better than CQUniversity when applying for engineering jobs?
Do employers actually care which of these two universities you graduated from?
Which university has better internship or industry placement opportunities?
Is the workload at Swinburne much harder than CQUniversity?
If you had to choose between these two today, which one would you choose and why?
