Clayton campus
Course code: 0363
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. The course is available only on a part-time basis, takes a minimum of two years and normally involves eight formal class hours per week.
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 approved by the faculty admissions committee. For example, a degree in engineering, science or data processing would be acceptable. Applicants may be required to undertake bridging units to attain a uniform standard.
Applicants who do not have an appropriate degree or diploma will be considered only if their training and experience are judged to be of high quality and provide a suitable alternative to the normal entry requirement. These applicants will be required to undertake bridging units to attain the necessary standards. In all cases of special entry, employer support and endorsement will be highly valued.
In 1996 the course fee is $6000 or $461 per subject.
In order to complete the graduate diploma successfully, a student has to pass thirteen subjects including eight core subjects, bridging subjects (where applicable), and elective subjects. All subjects carry a weight of one unit with the exception of DGS6430 (Robotics project), which has a weight of four units.
