~085 Graduate Didoma of
Engineering icomputer Integrated
Manufadure)(CIM)
The aim of the program 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 proved 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
Candidates for the Graduate Diploma (CIM) shall have
completed an approved degree in Engineering for normal
entry. Other applicants may be considered on their
individual merits, but must have qualifications and
experience which, in the opinion of the Divisional Board,
are of satisfactory standard to qualify for entry.
Continuing students
Candidates continuing to the Master of Engineering (CIM)
must be aware that there are limits to the provision of
multiple awards. Students who continue from one stage to
the next stage without interruption to enrolment will not be
eligible to take the award of the stage just completed. In this
way students may not seek multiple awards for the same
study sequence.
Duration of course
The Graduate Diploma in Computer Integrated Manufacture
(CM) is a one year full-time program, but may be taken over
two years part-time.
