These one-year, part-time offerings at the Gippsland campus enable professional engineers to complete a specialist selection of units at postgraduate level and, on completion, to obtain the formal award of the graduate certificate in the following streams:
The programs are designed to allow engineers in full-time employment to refresh some aspect of their academic training, or to embark on a new aspect of training related to changed employment expectations. Coursework is offered by off-campus learning (distance education) mode only.
It is possible for graduate certificate candidates to articulate to the
Graduate Diploma in Engineering Maintenance Management and then to the Master
of Maintenance and Reliability Engineering. An average of 65 per cent or more
is required for those wishing to articulate between courses. The normal entry
requirement is a degree or diploma in an appropriate discipline from an
approved Australian tertiary institution. In many cases, this will be an
engineering degree, but applicants working in an engineering environment with
degrees in areas such as science, business and architecture would be
considered. Equivalent overseas qualifications will be acceptable for
candidates competent in the use of English written language. Such other
academic, industry-based training or management responsibility level that may
be judged by the head of school to give the candidate a good chance of success
in the course may also be taken into account. In such cases, specific
documentation of industrial experience and responsibility must be supplied.
In some circumstances, candidates may be required to undertake preliminary
studies before embarking on a graduate certificate program. There may be a
restriction on the maximum number of non-graduate enrolments in any year. For
the maintenance management program, attendance is required at a residential
school of one week in July.
