Rules & notes

Rules

1. Students must complete 54 units of study. This can consist of either: a) 8 x 4.5 unit courses and MFET 5034 Minor Thesis 1 (Eng) and MFET 5035 Minor Thesis 2 (Eng) OR b) 10 x 4.5 unit courses and MFET 5045 Cases in Engineering Applications OR c) 10 x 4.5 unit courses and MFET 5034 Minor Thesis 1 (Eng)

2. Students must complete at least three foundation courses, one of which must be ENGG 5006 Engineering Research Methods (compulsory).

3. Students must complete at least four x 4.5 unit specialist courses relevant to the specialisation they are undertaking (excluding the courses noted in rule 4).

4. Students must complete either: a) MFET 5045 Cases in Engineering Applications (9 units) OR b) MFET 5034 Minor Thesis 1 (Eng) (9 units) OR c) MFET 5034 Minor Thesis 1 (Eng) (9units) and MFET 5035 Minor Thesis 2 (Eng) (9 units)

5. Students may select other postgraduate courses offered by the School of Advanced Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering to obtain the required units of study. Courses outside the relevant program schedule can only be selected with approval from the Program Director.

6. Credit will not normally be granted for more than one third of the total units of the program.

Notes

1. Students undertaking MFET 5045 Cases in Engineering Applications, MFET 5034 Minor Thesis 1 (Eng), and/or MFET 5035 Minor Thesis 2 (Eng), will normally enrol in these courses in their second year of study. Research topics will normally be indentified earlier.

2. Students who have successfully completed the relevant minimum number of units can exit from the Master program with a Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma in Engineering (specialisation).

3. Not all courses are available in any one year.

4. The Graduate Diploma in Professional Practice (Advanced Manufacturing Technology) provides a pathway for subsequent entry to this program and both awards can be completed in two years of full time study or part time equivalent.
