the Graduate Certificate in Social Statistics. Other applicants
with suitable backgrounds may be admitted to the program.
The class contact hours will normally be four hours per
night, two nights per week for four semesters, which
includes the two semesters of the graduate certificate. Classes
will consist of a combination of lecture and practical work
as applicable to the topic.
The Graduate Diploma will qualify graduates to take up
research assistant positions involving both the management
and application of research in the social sciences that require
statistical methods for their design and analysis.

PO83 Graduate Diploma in
Chemical Engineering
(1996 Syllabus)
The purpose of the program 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
some related field.
Entrance requirements
Applicants are required to possess either a degree or diploma
in applied science or engineering. However, consideration
will be given to applicants who do not possess the formal
admission requirements, but who, by virtue of an extensive
period of industrial or other experience, can demonstrate
they have the capacity to cope with the study load involved.
Course structure
The program 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 program 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 to students in fulltime
employment. Some subjects are available as evening
subjects.
Subjects involved in this course are classified as either
Schedule A or Schedule B subjects. Schedule A subjects
provide the basic chemical engineering information;
Schedule B subjects offer topics more peripheral to the
chemical engineering aspects of the course. To obtain the
qualification, a minimum of 100 credit points must be
completed. Choice of subjects is restricted so that at least 60
credit points of Schedule A subjects are included. The
remaining credit points can be taken from either Schedule A
or Schedule B.
Schedule A subjects
Semester 1
Credit points
SCP2Ol Basic Process Analysis and Calculations 10
SCP305 Separation Processes 10
SCP503 Reactor Design 10
SCP504 Process Equipment Design 10
Semester 2
SCP206 Fluid Mechanics 10
SCP4OO Heat Transfer 10
SCP401 Mass Transfer 10
SCP402 Fluid Panicle Systems and Advanced Fluid
Mechanics 10
SCP506 Process Plant Design and Economic Evaluation 20
Schedule B subjects
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. The final choice of subjects will be made with
significant consultation between the student and the
lecturers involved.
