Systems Engineering
This program normally involves three years of part-time or
one and half years of full-time study. This program of
advanced studies in the hardware and software engineering
of computer systems is intended for graduates in
Engineering, Science or Computing, seeking careers in the
computer applications field, e.g. as engineers in the
computer, electronics or telecommunications manufacturing
industries.
Entrance requirements
Entry to the Graduate Diploma/Master of Engineering is
open to applicants with a four year engineering or science
(Electrical, Communications or Computer Systems)
qualification or to those with lesser qualifications but
substantial and relevant experience.

C092 Master of Engineering
(Construction Management)
The main aim of the course is to provide graduates of
proved academic ability the skills required for future roles in
managing technology and human resources in construction
and building operations.
~ -
It is proposed to achieve this aim by providing a structured
study of advanced management and engineering techniques
in the fields of construction and building.
The course aims to develop the following:
skill at allocation, organisation and direction of
manpower and material resources;
awareness of and ability to apply modern construction
technology;
understanding of the financial considerations of project
funding;
understanding of human resource management on
construction sites;
knowledge of the bidding process and other aspects of
economic decision-making;
appreciation of contractual obligations and risks;
quality management.
Duration of program
This course has been designed to take place over one and a
half years on a full-time basis. Students may commence their
studies in either the first or second semester of any year and
spend the first two semesters engaged in coursework. The
course can also be undertaken part-time over six semesters.
