Course leader: Mr Gordon Lowe
The course provides specialised training in robotics for those intending to work as engineers, programmers, technical specialists or managers interested in the application of robotics to industrial processes in manufacturing industries.
Subject offerings enable students with specific experience in computer science, electrical engineering or mechanical engineering to acquire the multidisciplinary expertise that provides a clear appreciation of industrial robot operation and application. Graduates from the course will have an in-depth understanding, through theoretical material and practical exercises, of the issues that need to be addressed in engineering a functional industrial robot work-cell.
The minimum entry requirement is a three-year degree or diploma in a course which provides a relevant foundation for studies in robotics, or an equivalent qualification. For example, a degree in engineering, science or data processing would be acceptable.
Applicants without degree or diploma qualifications may also be admitted on the basis of work experience. The level of work experience required would be at least five years in a position carrying significant technical responsibility in an area relevant to the course. The number of places available to applicants in this category is limited to 25%.
In 1997 the course fee is $3000 or $375 per subject three-point subject.
The Graduate Certificate in Robotics comprises twenty-four credit points of study taken over one year full-time or two years part-time.
All subjects carry a weight of one unit with the exception of DGS6430 (Robotics project), which has a weight of twelve points.
Applications for all graduate certificates should be made directly to the faculty office at the relevant campus. International students must apply through the Monash International.
