It may be possible for a student to undertake the subject PHN500 external to the Queensland Institute of Technology campus. Permission to do so would be dependent on satisfying the Head of Department that adequate supervision and facilities are available to enable the student to undertake the subject to the required depth and breadth, and that assessment requirements could be satisfied.
Study Visits
In addition to the programme outlined above, arrangements will be made for students to visit laboratories, clinics, and other facilities where work pertinent to their programme is carried out. Attachments to external medical physics facilities during vacation will be encouraged.
ENN191 MASTER OF ENGINEERING BY THESIS
The Queensland Institute of Technology offers degree courses in a range of specialities in the School of Engineering. Graduates from the courses in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering find employment in industry and the community at large. The initial contribution of the graduate in industry is at a level which requires direct application of his knowledge and expertise to established procedures.
The Masters degree is offered for graduates who are in a situation to clearly benefit from undertaking an individual programme which makes a contribution to a particular field in Engineering.
The programme is administered by the Academic Board of the School of Engineering through its Graduate Studies Standing Committee.
Objectives
(a) to provide for post-graduate educational opportunities in design, investigation, development, research or any combination thereof, directly related to professional engineering practice;
(b) to provide for increased relationships between the Institute and industry or other external agencies involved in engineering, to their mutual advantage;
(c) to provide formal recognition of work of an advanced and/or original nature.
Approval of Projects
All projects should be sponsored by outside agencies such as industry, government authorities and professional organisations, or by the 0.1.T.
itself. This provision is to ensure that programmes are relevant to the aims of the Institute and the community. It is important that the research be primarily directed towards industry need.
The course is offered only on a part-time basis. A part-time student will normally be employed in some professional engineering capacity during the day and carry out his research on a part-time basis at the 0.1. T. or in his place of employment or in a sponsoring institution.
Entry
Normal admission will require a minimum of three years' experience as a graduate engineer in the general field in which the proposed work lies, together with -
(a) A Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from the Queensland Institute of Technology or a qualification judged equivalent by the Engineering Academic Board.
or
The basic qualification itself will not be sufficient requirement for admission, as the Engineering Academic Board will also take into account an applicant's performance as an undergraduate, particularly in those subjects directly related to the area in which the Master's programme will be undertaken.
(b) Satisfactory completion of an appropriate Master's qualifying
programme including formal course work and/or a reading programme in related fields stipulated by the Engineering Academic Board.
or
(c) The submission of technical publications or other appropriate evidence which satisfies the Engineering Academic Board that advanced knowledge has been acquired in a division of engineering in which the applicant has worked as a professional engineer in a position of responsibility. This knowledge should be relevant to the field of study proposed.
Further details regarding enrolment and registration procedures, duration, programme content, supervision and Thesis requirements, may be referred to in the School of Engineering Handbook.
