Units indexed by faculty Master of Engineering Science (Research) and Doctor of PhilosophyCourse codes: 1226; 0037 + Course abbreviations: MEngSc(Res); PhD Study mode and course locationOn-campus (Clayton; Malaysia) The department offers, to suitably qualified candidates, the opportunity to undertake postgraduate study for the degrees Master of Engineering Science (Research) and Doctor of Philosophy. In addition to the usual Australian Government and university scholarships, a number of departmental scholarships are generally offered to qualified and enthusiastic candidates. The department possesses internationally-recognised research expertise in a number of specialist areas, and many staff have ongoing active collaborations with the leading institutions overseas. Among others, some of the active areas of involvement include: robotics and mechatronics; kinematics and mechanisms; manufacturing and technology management; fluid mechanics (including direct simulation of turbulence, aeroacoustics, free surface flows, advanced experimental methods, flow stability, fluid-structure interaction, computer modelling of industrial flows, flow transition, swirling flows, flows in bioreactors and physiological flows); heat transfer and energy (including energy conversion, computer modelling of heat transfer processes, combustion and fuel technologies); aerospace and aeronautical engineering; solid and structural mechanics (including composite structures and smart materials, computer modelling of structures, experimental structural mechanics, bonded structures, repair technology and ageing structures); marine and estuary engineering (including hydrodynamics and water quality in bays and estuaries, environmental fluid dynamics, fluid-structural dynamics of marine structures, and scalar mixing); wind engineering (including wind effects on building and structures, and high Reynolds number flows around structures); control and systems; machine maintenance; engineering management (including agile manufacturing, real-time computing, quality systems design, business planning and project maintenance); micromachines; and surface friction. There are well-equipped laboratories and supporting workshops catering for research projects, including several recognised world-class experimental facilities. The department also has substantial private and university computing and data processing facilities, as well as access to national high-performance computing clusters. The department offers MEngSc(Research) candidature in accordance with section 3 of the MEngSc(Research) regulations. Candidates are also required to complete two compulsory coursework units: MEC5410 (Research practices) and MEC5415 (Research seminar). Further details of these units are to be found in the ‘Units - all faculties’ section of this handbook. Candidates for the PhD degree in the department are also required to complete these coursework units. Documents providing further details on graduate study are available from the department. Further information is also available from the departmental web page. Contact detailsWebsite: www.eng.monash.edu.au/mecheng/courses/ Previous page | Next page | Section contents | Title and contents |
