Course description:
Developed as a cooperative project between the rail industry and
the University of Wollongong, this course captures the knowledge
and expertise of long-term rolling stock engineers working in the
Australian rail industry. It is provided as a professional
development program for people entering or working in the rail
industry.
The course is delivered via flexible online learning suitable for
mature-age students studying part-time. A one-day compulsory
workshop for each subject provides a firm foundation and
interaction with peers and experts.
Entry requirements:
A Bachelor of Engineering degree from a recognised tertiary
institution, or equivalent. Applicants holding other tertiary
qualifications with at least five years’ relevant industry
experience and who are nominated by their employer may also be
considered. Completion of the Graduate Certificate course provides
entry to the Master of Rolling Stock Engineering course.
Career outcomes:
It is envisaged completion of the Graduate Certificate and Master
of Rolling Stock engineering will provide specific knowledge and
application of more general engineering principles to rolling stock
and rolling stock systems . Graduates will be able to: generate
specification and evaluate performance of rolling stock components;
use predictive models for generating system specifications at whole
system level; and estimate the impact of a regulatory framework,
human factors and community expectations on the rolling stock
operational environment.
Fees:
$2,748 per subject.
