Graduates who hold a Bachelors degree and who have
shown a high standard of academic achievement in that
course may be admitted to candidature for the degree of
Master of Engineering or Doctor of Philosophy.
The higher degree programs currently available require the
presentation of a major thesis based on original research,
investigation or development work, carried out either within
Swinburne or externally, providing that adequate facilities
and supervision can be arranged. External work can be
carried out in an approved industrial, governmental,
educational or research organisation.
Copies of the Statute for the degree of Master or PhD are in
the 'Procedures and Regulations' chapter of this Handbook
and application forms are available from the Office of
Research and Graduate Studies.
School of Electrical
Engineering Courses
Electrical engineering is concerned with any form of plant,
system or device operated by electrical or electronic means,
P and includes specialities, such as electronics, communican
tions, computer hardware and software, control, electrical
5 power and machines.
The school offers courses leading to professional
rn
qualifications in electrical power and control engineering,
%. communication and electronic engineering and computer
m systems engineering. In addition, continuing education
courses in selected subjects for professional engineers are
In
provided from time to time.
Modern laboratory facilities are available for undergraduate
teaching, staff research and consulting. Separate laboratories
are devoted to electric circuits, electronics, advanced
electronics, communications, control systems and computing,
electrical machines, power systems, advanced computing
systems, and student design projects. New computer systems
laboratories provide facilities for the computer systems
engineering stream.
A mentor scheme is operated by the school to facilitate contact
between staff and students and to provide guidance to
individual students, as they progress through the course.
Mentors are all experienced staff members.
The school undertakes applied research and consulting and
staff members are available for consultation individually or as
members of a team on group projects. Enquiries should be
directed to the Associate Dean.

Career potential
Graduates from Swinburne are qualified for appointment to
professional engineering positions in commonwealth and
state government departments and instrumentalities, in
private industry, or the armed services.
The types of engineering employment available include the
investigation, design, manufacture, testing, development,
installation, maintenance or sales of all types of electrical,
communication, electronic and computer plant and
equipment.
The various fields of electrical engineering activity include
those of electric power supply and utilisation, electrical
machines and appliances, electric traction, illumination
engineering, communication systems, automatic control
systems, electronic equipment, analogue and digital
computers and applications, and medical electronics.
The introduction of the computer systems engineering
stream which commenced in 1986, provides graduates with
the software skills to enable them to be employed in the
computer industry and to apply computer systems and
equipment to engineering applications and industrial
processes.
The degree course qualification merits full exemption from
the entrance examinations of The Institution of Engineers.
Australia and the Institute of Radio and Electronic Engineers.
