The aim of the distance education program is to provide students with the necessary resources to complete a major part of their course work off-campus. This involves the provision of (a) course material especially designed for independent study; (b) opportunities for effective lecturer-student and student-student interaction; (c) access to any necessary facilities, eg library, computer, audio-visual material etc.
In 1995, Monash plans to offer the following Gippsland engineering courses by distance education: Associate Diploma of Engineering (Industrial Management); Bachelor of Engineering (Civil, Electronic and Computer, Electro-Mechanical and Mechanical) (only 50 per cent of the course is available through distance education studies); Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Business (only 50 per cent of the engineering content is available through distance education studies); Bachelor of Engineering Studies; Graduate Certificate of Engineering; Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Maintenance Management).
Inquiries regarding applications should be directed to Student Administration at the Gippsland campus.
