Subject material is arranged to enable studies to be undertaken
in one of three specialised streams, in addition to a
common core of studies. The streams are:
health and safety risks;
plant and property risks;
maintenance (production risks).
This arrangement allows groups with specific interests within
the broad risk management field to specialise.
Core material comprises subjects directed at developing an
understanding of the broad risk management discipline from
the management, insurance, statistical, engineering, psychological,
social and legal aspects.
Streamed material includes expansion of core material in
relevant directions as well as more specialised subjects. Full
subject details are available from the School of Mechanical
and Manufacturing Engineering.
The course will usually spread over two years.

~093 Master of Technology (Computer
lntegrated Manufacture)
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 prown 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
(a) Normal entry
A four year degree in engineering or equivalent qualification.
(b) Other applicants
Other applicants with a professional qualification, depending
upon their postgraduate experience, will be required to
undertake suitable preliminary studies approved by the
Engineering Faculty Board.
Students who have completed the coursework for the
Graduate Diploma in Computer lntegrated Manufacture at
an average grade of 'C' may be admitted to the program
with advanced standing.
A person who has been awarded a Graduate Diploma in
Computer lntegrated Manufacture may not be awarded the
Master of Technology (CIM) i.e. A person who has been
awarded the graduate diploma must relinquish the graduate
diploma before being eligible for the award of the Master of
Technology.
Duration of course
The course is a two year equivalent full time program
incorporating the academic program for the Graduate
Diploma in Computer lntegrated Manufacture. The minimum
period of enrolment for the Master of Engineering program
is three semesters. The full time program normally extends
over four semesters. Further options include a three and four
year part time format.
Students are not normally permitted to extend their course
enrolment beyond five years, except when leave of absence
has been granted.
