~~OOAYD Associate Diploma <strong>of</strong> Applied<br />
Science (Scientific<br />
Computing)<br />
Course aims and description<br />
This course will enable students to gain the fundamental<br />
principles <strong>of</strong> computer science, physics, mathematics,<br />
and communication skills in the high technology areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> scientific and sensory instrumentation and control<br />
systems.<br />
Career potential<br />
Graduates <strong>of</strong> the course will be qualified to work<br />
as technical <strong>of</strong>ficers in scientific computing. Career<br />
pathways include technical support to pr<strong>of</strong>essionals in:<br />
research and development<br />
consulting, sales and training programs<br />
installation, maintenance and upgrading <strong>of</strong> computer<br />
equipment.<br />
Areas <strong>of</strong> employment include: instrumentation,<br />
process control, materials research, defence, medical<br />
technology, aeronautics, education, sales and marketing.<br />
Further studies pathways<br />
On completion students are eligible to apply for entry<br />
into the second year <strong>of</strong> the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Applied Science<br />
(Computer Science) and the Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Applied Science<br />
(Computer Instrumentation).<br />
Entry requirements<br />
The entry requirement is VCE, or equivalent<br />
qualification with unit 3/4 passes in Mathematics and<br />
Physics subjects. Mature-age applicants without VCE will<br />
also be considered.<br />
Safety requirements<br />
Appropriate personal protective equipment is required for<br />
all laboratory subjects.<br />
Course availability and duration<br />
The course can be undertaken on a full-time basis over<br />
two years, or on a part-time basis over a longer ~eriod.<br />
