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.
