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 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% 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 for applicants who do not hold a
degree. 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 four days in July (or in August at Knoxville for students in North
America).
