Career Opportunities:
Graduates of this advanced diploma may gain employment as an engineering officer who performs design, manufacture, analysis, supervision and engineering liaison. Other opportunities include a systems manager or support officer for computer systems. Typical work functions include the design, selection, installation, commissioning and repair of computer systems, local and wide area networks and the supervision of others in this field. The course also provides a foundation for further study towards obtaining a degree.
Professional recognition:
Successful completion of this award may allow admission to Engineers Australia as an engineering officer.
Entry Requirements:
Satisfactory completion of an appropriate Victorian Year 12 or its equivalent. Mature-age applicants and others who do not meet these requirements, should enquire directly to the department.
Credit Transfer:
Applicants with prior tertiary studies that satisfy part of the academic requirements of this course may be granted 'credit' and/or entry to the course with 'advanced standing'. University policies apply and applicants are assessed on a case-by-case basis. For further information refer to the Credit Transfer Guide at: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/corporate/marketing/pathways//
Pathways (articulation):
An advanced credit transfer system, known as the Pathways program, is in place at Swinburne. Through Pathways, students with one or more of a wide range of post-secondary qualifications (both local and international) can gain entry into a course with advanced standing. Certain subject requirements must be met and an acceptable standard of results achieved in order to gain admission and for maximum credit to be granted. For further information refer to the Credit Transfer Guide at: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/corporate/marketing/pathways//
Recognition of Prior Learning:
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process where a student may be granted credit or partial credit towards a qualification in recognition of skills and knowledge gained through work experience, life experience and/or formal training. Further details for students considering TAFE courses: http://www.tafe.swin.edu.au/admin/docs/RPL.htm
Course Fees:
The Victorian Government introduced a new TAFE fee structure from 1 July 2009. Details of the new fee structure and 2010 fees can be found at www.swinburne.edu.au/fees.
Application Procedure:
