Engineering
The Graduate Diploma/Master of Engineering (Biomedical
Engineering) normally involves three years of part-time or
one and a half years of full-time study. This course is
intended for those interested in designing and developing
biomedical equipment and/or practising the skills related to
clinical biomedical engineering. The program includes both
engineering and biomedical content to suit a variety of
backgrounds.
Entry requirements
Entry to the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and
Master of Engineering is open to applicants with a four year
engineering or science qualification or to those with lesser
qualifications but substantial and relevant experience.
Course structure
Students must complete 100 credit points for the Graduate
Diploma and 150 credit points to complete the Masters,
including relevant project work.

Master of Engineering
(Computer Integrated Manufacture)
bv coursework and thesis
The aim of the course is to prepare graduates from
engineering and the physical sciences for future roles in the
development and application of computer integrated
manufacturing in Australian manufacturing industry. Such
graduates must have proved academic ability.
Computer integrated manufacturing is an important and
effective means of achieving productivity improvements
which must be seriously considered by manufacturing
companies wishing to become and remain competitive, and
which should be encouraged in the national interest so that
application of appropriate technology can improve our
ability to compete on international markets and against
cheaper, high quality imports in the domestic market.
Entrance requirements
Candidates for the Master of Engineering (Computer
Integrated Manufacture) shall satisfy the following
requirements:
They should have a four year engineering degree or
equivalent. Applicants with other qualifications and
experience which are considered by the Divisional Board to
be of satisfactory standard will also qualify for entry.
Applicants not holding an appropriate four year degree or
equivalent may initially be admitted to the Graduate
Certificate (CAD/CAM) or Graduate Diploma (CIM)
program.
Duration of course
The course is a one and a half year equivalent full-time
program incorporating the academic program for the Graduate
Diploma in Computer Integrated Manufacture.The
coursework and the project workfor Masters of Engineering
(CIM) may be completed in one calandar year for a full-time
course. Further options include a three and four year part-time
format.
