later years, studies include computer architecture and
computer graphics.
The software emphasis in the computer science part of the
program is complemented by the strong computer hardware
orientation of instrumentation which is unique to
Swinburne and is designed to meet the challenge of everincreasing
sophistication of instruments used in high
technology areas. Emphasis is on the design and use of
instruments to detect and measure ~h~sical phenomena,
process and analyse information, and control various
processes.
Special areas of interest in the program include computer
based imaging, optical and nuclear instrumentation
interfacing, and analogue and digital signal processing.
Areas of study in this major include nuclear and optical
instrumentation together with a strong emphasis on
information processing, digital and analogue electronics.
Career potential
Graduates are employed in areas ranging from industrial,
clinical, academic and government to pure research and
development fields.
Professional recognition
Accredited by Australian Computer Society as a level one
course. Graduates are eligible for associate membership.
After four years relevant work experience, a graduate can
apply for full membership.
Prerequisites (entrance 1996)
Units 3 and 4: Physics, Mathematical Methods. Middle band
selection - bonuses will be handled in the manner specified
for the following studies: Specialist Mathematics (15%),
Information Technology (Information Systems)(lOO/o).
Applicants who do not satisfy the above requirements may
be considered on the basis of factors such as technical
background, employment and, in borderline cases, an
interview. Such special entry is not available to applicants
who have within the last three years failed any of the formal
entry assessments.
A limited number of laces may be available to students
without VCE Physics. These students will undertake a
special first semester program.
