Value - up to $400 per year and tenable for a period not
exceeding five years. Applicants for these awards must be
qualified to enter the second or a later year of an engineering
degree course to be accepted as a candidate for the degree of
Master.
Postgraduate awards
The Commonwealth Department of Education provides
awards for full-time research leading to the degree of Master.
The closing date for applications is 31 October in any year.
Some industrial organisations also make available awards for
full-time research leading to the degree of Master. Further
information may be obtained from the School Head of each
engineering school.
Professional recognition of courses
The lnstitution of Engineers. Australia
The courses (1990 syllabus) for degree of Bachelor of
Engineering, in civil, electrical power and control,
communication and electronic, computer systems,
manufacturing, and mechanical engineering, have all received
recognition by The lnstitution of Engineers, Australia, as
satsifying academic requirements for corporate membership.
Students who are enrolled for engineering courses at
Swinburne and are at least seventeen years of age may apply
to the lnstitution of Engineers, Australia, to become student
members. Application forms are available from engineering
school offices and the Divisional office.
Other ~rofessional bodies
The course for the achel lor of Engineering (Manufacturing) is
recognised by the lnstitution of Production Enqineers and the
degree in elktrical engineering is recognised by the lnstitution
of Radio and Electronics Engineers (Australia) as sufficient
academic qualification for membership.
Applied Science undergraduate
course information
Student workload, credit points
The Division of Science, Engineering and Design operates a
student workload model based on a credit point system. In this
model, the standard workload for a full-time student
undertaking a program of study for one year comprises
subjects with a total value of 100 credit points. To complete,
for example, a full-time three-year bachelor degree program,
a student must pass subjects to the value of at least 300 credit
points.
The credit point value of a subject is a notional measure of the
relative workload associated with that subject. Normally, a fulltime
student enrols in subjects totalling 50 credit points per
semester, however, small variations in this total are permitted
according to the choice and availablility of elective subjects.

associate diplomas
Associate Diploma of Applied Science in Laboratory
Technology
Students who complete this associate diploma at an
acceptable level and with an appropriate choice of electives
are eligible for direct entry into the second year of the
Bachelor of Applied Science degree programs in applied
chemistry or biochemistry. The amount of credit granted in
each case exceeds 100 credit points. Applications should be
made through VTAC.
