Graduate Certificate in Rolling Stock Engineering

Course description

The Graduate Certificate in Rolling Stock Engineering, developed under the Rail CRC, provides formal education and training for new engineering graduates and other engineering staff who wish to advance their careers. The program is offered on a part-time basis by distance education, but does involve a mandatory face-to-face workshop at the commencement of each subject Graduates will be able to use established predictive methods (e.g. models, rules, software, standards) to generate system specifications and evaluate performance of component systems in rolling stock (including braking, traction, containment, communication, motive power, power transmission, and train control). They will also be able to provide input into these predictive methods to create or generate system specifications at whole system level (i.e. consist/train set), having an awareness of rolling stock operating environment parameters or constraints (i.e. regulatory framework, safety, community expectations, environmental impact, funding, human factors, compatibility, capacity, and capability).
