Admission

Admission to this course is via UAC.

Students who fall short of meeting the requirements for entry at Master of Engineering level may be admitted to the Graduate Certificate course and may transfer to the Master of Engineering degree later on the basis of performance.

The Graduate Certificate in Engineering is a 40 Credit Point degree. Students are required to study:

Engineering Software Applications

This unit will be available from 2007. This unit offers several modules of practical applications in engineering and industrial design software from which students get to choose two modules. Each module is taught over a period of six weeks. Lectures are delivered online via WebCT and will be enhanced by weekly computer laboratory practicals. Emphasis is placed on teaching students practical software applications skills tied to the needs of the industry.

Sustainable Design

Designers prescribe the use of our limited materials resources with evey product that transpires from their work. With an informed approach to design, based on a sound knowledge of materials from their origins to their disposal as well as manufacturing processes, systems and technologies, a designer can minimise the impact products have on the global community.
