  • Graduate Certificate and Master of Rolling Stock Engineering, University of Wollongong

The Graduate Certificate in Rolling Stock Engineering, developed under the Rail CRC, provides formal education and training for newly graduated engineers and other engineering staff who wish to advance their careers.

The program is offered on a part-time basis by distance education, but does involve a mandatory face-to-face workshop at the commencement of each subject.

Graduates will be able to use established predictive methods (eg, models, rules, software, standards) to generate system specifications and evaluate performance of component systems in rolling stock (including braking, traction, containment, communication, motive power, power transmission, and train control).

  • Master of Railway Engineering (Railway Infrastructure ), Queensland University of Technology

This course arose from the collaboration of a number of nationally important railway companies and organisations through the Cooperative Research Centre for Railway Engineering and Technologies. The course addresses the main concepts and methodologies of the design, construction and maintenance of railway infrastructure. It aims to advance your skills in and understanding of the diverse types of railway infrastructure assets, including technical, environmental and institutional assessments and offers both theoretical understanding and practical applications of associated professional practice. An early exit with a Graduate Certificate in Built Environment and Engineering is a planned option.

Entry into Semester 1 2009 (23 February to 19 June 2009)
Applications must be received by: 21 January 2009
