Course code: 0363
Course leader: Mr Gordon Lowe
The
course provides specialised training in robotics for those intending to work as
engineers, programmers, technical specialists or managers interested in the
application of robotics to industrial processes in manufacturing industries.
The course is available only on a part-time basis, takes a minimum of two years
and normally involves eight formal class hours per week.
Subject offerings enable students with specific experience in computer science,
electrical engineering or mechanical engineering to acquire the
multidisciplinary expertise that provides a clear appreciation of industrial
robot operation and application.
Graduates from the course will have an in-depth understanding, through
theoretical material and practical exercises, of the issues that need to be
addressed in engineering a functional industrial robot work-cell.
The
minimum entry requirement is a three-year degree or diploma in a course which
provides a relevant foundation for studies in robotics, or an equivalent
qualification approved by the faculty admissions committee. For example, a
degree in engineering, science or data processing would be acceptable.
Applicants may be required to undertake bridging units to attain a uniform
standard.
Applicants who do not have an appropriate degree or diploma will be considered
only if their training and experience are judged to be of high quality and
provide a suitable alternative to the normal entry requirement. These
applicants will be required to undertake bridging units to attain the necessary
standards. In all cases of special entry, employer support and endorsement will
be highly valued.
In 1999 the course fee is $6000 or $375 per unit.
In order to complete the graduate diploma successfully, a student has to pass thirteen subjects including eight core subjects, bridging subjects (where applicable), and elective subjects. All subjects carry a weight of one unit with the exception of CSE4843 (Robotics project), which has a weight of four units.
All core units are compulsory.
Where necessary, a maximum of two subjects may be prescribed to be taken during the first or second semester.
A limited number of electives are available each semester according to demand.
