Enrol NOW in Rolling Stock Postgraduate Courses - second semester 2007

AUSTRALIA’S railway industry is running short on specialist rolling stock engineers, so enrol now to be in great demand!

The University of Wollongong (UoW) can take your enrolment enquiry now for the 2007 second semester intake of its unique distance-delivered Graduate Certificate in Rollingstock Engineering/Master of Rollingstock Engineering postgraduate courses.

UoW, a Rail Cooperative Research Centre Core Participant, is managing the development of the courses on behalf of the Rail CRC. The aim of the course is to introduce students to the professional body of knowledge in rollingstock engineering.

Subjects for the Graduate Certificate course (which also forms the first step in the Master of Rollingstock Engineering) are:

  • ENGG924 Railway and rolling stock environment
  • ENGG925 Rail motive power
  • ENGG926 Rail vehicle design
  • ENGG927 Rollingstock safety and braking systems

The course is offered by distance education, and uses a course website for online team collaboration, class discussion and interaction with the course tutor.

Entry Requirements: A bachelor degree in engineering from a recognised tertiary institution or equivalent.

For further information and enrolment enquiries, please contact Lorelle Pollard at the University of Wollongong - lorelle@uow.edu.au, phone (02) 4221 4247 - or visit the University of Wollongong website on http://www.uow.edu.au/eng/prospective/postgraduate/pgengmgmt.html .

The Rolling Stock postgraduate courses form one of approximately 40 Rail CRC research projects, which were established and supported under the Australian Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Programme.

Rail CRC consists of rail industry partners – ARTC, Pacific National, Queensland Rail, TMG Rail Technology, and Rail Corp - and six university partners – the University of Wollongong, Monash University, Central Queensland University, The University of Queensland, University of South Australia, and the Queensland University of Technology.
