Course Structure (1 990 syllabus)
Structure of degree course
The degree course consists of seven academic semesters at
Swinburne and two semesters in industry.
In the third and fourth years, students spend one semester of
each year at Swinburne and the remainder working in
industry. Employment is arranged by Swinburne and
students receive a salary approximately two-thirds of that of
a graduate engineer. Students benefit greatly from this firsthand
industrial experience and liaison is maintained between
mentor, employer and student.
The fifth year, which consists of only one eighteen week
semester, is spent at Swinburne.
