Course code: 2862 + Clayton campus + Full-fee-paying course, with no HECS liability attached + Cost: TBA (anticipated to be $1250 per six-credit point unit, but this is subject to review within the university)
The masters course is a response to the growing need for engineers with broad awareness of the characteristics and significance of transport, including its technological, economic, environmental and social impact. The course requires students to complete 72 credit points, which equates to 12 units. Eight units are specified as core with the electives drawn from other transport and traffic units, pavement units or units in the Master of Business Systems course. This will enable the course to meet the educational needs of practising engineers who are seeking to extend their technical knowledge while enhancing their management skills through better understanding of project management and operations research etc.
The course satisfies the continuing education requirements of the Institution of Engineers, Australia.
Participants will have an honours degree in civil engineering or equivalent. Alternatively, students can articulate from the postgraduate diploma.
The course is normally completed in three years by off-campus distributed learning (based on two units per semester) with a maximum of six years part-time (based on one unit per semester).
The
course will be conducted by off-campus distributed learning part-time over six
semesters or three years. It may be accelerated to an 18-month full-time
course. The course is therefore equivalent to 1.5 EFTSU or 72 credit points.
Students are allowed a maximum period of six years to complete the course with
a maximum intermission period of 12 months. Where appropriate, students will be
encouraged to enrol in the Graduate Certificate of Transport and Traffic or the
Postgraduate Diploma of Transport and Traffic in the first instance and then
articulate to the masters.
The following units offered by off-campus distributed learning as part of the Master of Business Systems through the Gippsland campus are also offered as electives:
Subject to individual assessment, credit may be granted for up to 50 per cent of the total course on the basis of work of equivalent standard successfully completed at another institution and up to 25 per cent for work completed outside the Engineering faculty at Monash University, but which has not formed part of the work presented for any other degree.
Off-campus distributed learning material in the form of study guides and CD-ROMs are currently being developed and will be made available to all students. Prescribed textbooks will be available from the university bookshop. Students will require access to a computer with email and internet access, either at home or via commercial access points or facilities at local libraries etc.
For more detailed information, contact the Department of Civil Engineering, Clayton campus on (03) 9905 4987.
Completed applications are to be forwarded to the Transport Postgraduate Administrative Officer, Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University, Victoria 3800, by 24 November 2001. Late applications will be considered.
