Course information

Course code: 1753
Gippsland campus
HECS fees applicable
Attendance is compulsory at a four day residential school.

Aims

Engineering maintenance management has tremendous opportunity for improvement, and much scope for contributing significantly to an organisation's profitability. Since 1985, hundreds of engineers, managers and senior technical people, from many industries around Australia and overseas, have increased their capability by completing Monash University courses in maintenance management.

Professional recognition

The course satisfies the continuing education requirements of the Institution of Engineers Australia.

Entry requirements

Admission to the graduate diploma course is open to applicants who are eligible for graduate membership of the Institution of Engineers, Australia, or hold another degree acceptable to the Monash University Faculty of Engineering.
Applicants without the above qualifications may apply for the graduate certificate course. If passed with average grades of 65% or better, they may articulate into the graduate diploma.
Applicants must supply a letter from their employer showing awareness of the course requirements and commitments expected of the student. This requirement may be waived where the applicant is self-employed, or in other exceptional circumstances, provided the applicant can provide assurances about their ability to meet the time commitment of the program, and in respect to access to practical situations as required for the completion of field projects and research.
Applicants must also supply legally certified copies of their qualifications with their application.

Special requirements

Students before proceeding to subject GEG7074 (Computer applications in terotechnology) should have at least an introductory level of computer literacy. Access to a computer running Windows 95 is requested, with 16 Mb RAM, 30 Mb hard disk space and CD drive.

Attendance

Attendance at residential schools in year one (12 July to 16 July 1999) and year two (25 September to 29 September 2000) is compulsory. Registration forms and programs will be forwarded to students approximately six weeks prior to the residential schools. On-campus student accommodation is available at low prices. (Unlike for many other subjects, there are no weekend schools in these courses).

Course duration

The course consists of the eight subjects listed below normally taking two years of distance education study to complete.

Course structure

Some individual subjects can be studied alone as 'non-award'. No residential attendance is required and anybody interested is invited to enrol. These are available only on fee-paying basis, and no supportive documents are required with application.

Assessment

Assessment varies between subjects and is a mixture of assignments and examination. Most examinations are run in November and are arranged to take place near student home locations anywhere in the world. Assignments can be submitted by post, or fax, or by email where appropriate and available.

Credits/exemptions

All students will be required to complete forty-eight credit points to qualify for the graduate diploma. Credits may be allowed for students who have completed or partially completed a similar course.
