Units indexed by faculty Graduate Certificate in Electrical and Computer Systems EngineeringCourse code: 3267 + Course abbreviation: GradCertElec&CompSysEng + Total credit points required: 24 + Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton) Course descriptionThe program is intended to appeal both to recent graduates who wish to enhance their first qualification with studies in the area of electrical and computer systems engineering to improve their prospects in this area of sustained employment growth, and to mature students who wish to select units that suit their personal and professional needs as they develop from time to time and in so doing to accumulate credit towards the program over a period of some years. On completion of the certificate, a candidate of sufficient merit may be permitted to transfer candidature to the Postgraduate Diploma in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering. Entry requirementsThe normal entry requirement is a three-year bachelors degree in a discipline that provides a suitable basis for the course, for example electronics, science, information technology etc. Applicants with a degree or diploma in a discipline not directly related to the course will be considered if they have relevant experience in electrical and computer systems engineering. Applicants without degree or diploma qualifications may also be admitted on the basis of work experience, subject to the approval of the faculty's admissions committee. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate an ability to study at a tertiary level and have relevant experience in electrical and computer systems engineering. The number of places available to applicants in this category is limited and entry will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. Advanced standingThe Graduate Certificate in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering is an update course which may be used as a preparatory course for the Postgraduate Diploma in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering, to which students may articulate with full credit. Credit may not be claimed for units completed as part of a Monash Bachelor of Engineering degree in the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering. Course structureStudents must complete 24 points of coursework units selected from senior undergraduate level (group 1) and postgraduate level (group 2). The group 2 units are chosen from group 2 units currently approved for the Master of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering. At least 12 points must be selected from group 2. Full credit for postgraduate level (group 2) units will be given if a student chooses to upgrade his or her qualification to the Postgraduate Diploma in Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering. Group 1 units include level four units offered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering related to the study of electrical and computer systems engineering and its applications, and units as determined by the course director. The minimum length of the course is one semester full-time, or the equivalent part-time. As the course is intended to be a professional development program, there is no maximum duration for completion of studies.
