have other qualifications or experience which, in the
opinion of the Chairman of the School of Mechanical
and Manufacturing Engineering, are of a satisfactory
standard, and are suitable preparation for the graduate
diploma program.
Duration
The course is equivalent to one year of full-time study.
However, it is usually taken in part-time mode over two years
through evening study or a combination of day and evening.

~083 Graduate Diploma in Chemical
Engineering
The purpose of the coune is to provide students with a
basic core of chemical engineering knowledge. it is designed
to meet the needs of graduates who are not chemical
engineers but who are working in the chemical industry or
n some related field.
nl
Applicants are required to possess either a degree or
4 diploma in applied science or engineering. However,
3 consideration will be given to applicants who do not possess
the formal admission requirements, but who, by virtue of an
G. extensive period of industrial or other experience, can
3
m demonstrate they have the capacity to cope with the study
2. load involved.
The proposed course is planned to be completed in two
years (four semesters) of part-time study although timetable
restrictions may mean, on occasions, that five semesters will
be required. It is also possible that the course could be
completed in one year of full-time study. Some day time
classes are involved and these are timetabled as blocks to
cause as little inconvenience as possible. Other subjects may
be available as evening classes.
Subjects involved in this coune are classified as either
schedule A or schedule B subjects. Schedule A subjects
provide the basic chemical engineering information whilst
schedule B subjects offer topics more peripheral to the
chemical engineering aspects of the course. To obtain the
qualification, a minimum of 448 hours (32 semester hours)
is required. Choice of subjects is restricted so that a
minimum of 280 hours (20 semester hours) of schedule A
subjects is included. The remaining hours can be taken from
either schedule A or schedule B.

The subjects offered under schedule B are included to allow
students to follow a particular field of interest related to
chemical engineering. They have been divided into interest
groups and some restrictions apply as shown below. The
final choice of subjects will be made with significant
consultation between the student and the lecturers involved.

~087 Graduate Diploma in Computer
Integrated Manufacture (d~)
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 proven 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.
