The Gippsland school offers to suitably qualified candidates the opportunity to
undertake postgraduate study for the degrees Master of Engineering Science
(Research) and Doctor of Philosophy. The Master of Engineering Science program
by research is individually tailored to suit the needs of applicants.
Encouragement is given to mechatronics and industry-based programs. Candidates
must demonstrate that they have the necessary background to succeed: approval
to undertake a program will only be given where appropriate supervisors and
adequate resources are available. Anyone contemplating a masters degree program
should contact the head of school to discuss its suitability.
At Gippsland, research is currently being conducted in the following areas:
robotics; fuzzy-adaptive control; industrial automation; robot navigation;
machine condition monitoring (especially vibration analysis and performance
monitoring); strain gauge applications and dynamic response of robots; energy
auditing; engineering applications of geographic information systems
(especially flood predictions); road and pavement construction; traffic
management and transport planning; engineering applications of digital imaging;
artificial intelligence and expert systems; engineering management (especially
maintenance management and reliability engineering); interaction between energy
utilisation, economics, politics and the environment; time dependent
deformations of high-strength concrete and constitutive behaviours of
high-strength/high-performance concrete.
