Course description

This course is articulated with the Diploma of Technology (Computing), offered at the Holmesglen Institute of TAFE and Frankston campus of Chisholm Institute. After successful completion of the first year of this program (normally 70% average), students may transfer directly into the second year of the Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) offered by Monash and complete the final two years of the program. The course aims to produce technologists who are flexible in their thinking and so are able to respond to the changing needs of industry.

Course structure

The first level of the course is completed at an approved TAFE institute. Students are awarded 48 points of advanced standing at level 1 on the successful completion of all prescribed level 1 units taken from approved TAFE institutes.

At levels 2 and 3, four units are studied in each of the four semesters which comprise the second and third years of the Monash degree. Level 2 of the course includes units in the areas of engineering programming, electrical engineering, telecommunications, mathematics, computer organisation, operating systems and digital design.

Level 3 builds on level 2, with more advanced units including management, professional communications, computer engineering, microprocessor systems, industrial electronics and instrumentation, data communications and an industrial project.

Students take two elective units at level 3, and may choose from a wide range of units including real-time control and software engineering, internet architectures and protocols, large-scale digital design, mechanoinformatics, computer graphics and computer applications. All electives must be approved by the course leader. The core and elective units required at level 2 of the course are listed below.

Course requirements

This is a new course structure for students entering the program from 2006 onwards. Level 2 of the program will be offered from 2006, and level 3 will be offered from 2007. Students who entered the program prior to 2006 should refer to the handbook for the year in which they commenced the course.
