MASTER OF ENGINEERING PRACTICE IN MATERIALS WELDING AND JOINING.
This course is offered on a one year full-time basis, with the normal entry
requirement being a Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Science degree.
The course consists of a set of 18 modules (ENGG 901-918) with a total of
36 cp, together with a 12cp specialisation (ENGG 919). The 2 credit point
modules are presented as intensive one week (30 hour) 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.
Approval of the Professor of Materials Welding and Joining will be required
for the subject matter of ENGG 919 - 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 each of 30 hours duration (480 hours total). These
modules are delivered within the global subject ENGG899,
Advanced Topics in Materials Welding and Joining (48 cp), and comprise 11
taught modules and 5 practical modules. |
