Course
code: 0363 + Clayton campus + Course leader: Mr Gordon Lowe + Two years
part-time + No further intake
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.
Unit 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 foundation 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 foundation units to attain the
necessary standards. In all cases of special entry, employer support and
endorsement will be highly valued.
In order to complete the graduate diploma successfully, a student has to pass 13 units including eight core units, foundation units (where applicable) and elective units. All units 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 units may be prescribed to be taken during the first or second semester.
A limited number of electives are available each semester according to demand.
