MASTER OF ENGINEERING PRACTICE IN
MATERIALS WELDING AND JOINING
This course is offered on a flexible delivery, with the normal
entry requirement being a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor
of Science degree.
The course consists of a set of 16 modules (ENGG 901-918) with
a total of 48 cp, together with a 12cp specialisation (ENGG919).
The 3 credit point modules are presented in the form of 12 text
based distance delivery subjects and intensive one week subjects
which:
(a) are offered over two sessions;
(b) are assessed by quizzes, assignments, reports on practical
work and examination, as relevant to the particular module.
In addition to the self study texts a web based tutor is used.
Approval of the Professor of Materials Welding and Joining will
be required for the subject matter of ENGG919 - Dissertation.

GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ENGINEERING
A candidate who has completed a degree of Bachelor of Engineering
and
(a) who has not qualified for any class of Honours,
or
(b) who wishes to qualify for the Graduate Diploma in Engineering,
will enrol in the 48 credit point subject MATL899
Advanced Topics in Materials
Upon satisfactory completion of the subject MATL899 the candidate
is eligible for award of the Graduate Diploma in Engineering.
A person who is awarded the Graduate Diploma in Engineering
and subsequently satisfies requirements for award of the degree
of Honours Master of Engineering is deemed to have surrendered
the testamur and associated rights for the Graduate Diploma
prior to receiving the Honours Master of Engineering degree.
GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN MATERIALS WELDING
AND JOINING
This course is one year full-time in duration, or may be taken
part-time on a module by module basis. The normal entry requirement
is a Bachelor of Engineering degree or a Bachelor of Science
or an Associate Diploma plus appropriate industrial experience.
There are 16 modules. Refer to Master of
Engineering Practice in Materials Welding and Joining. |
