Admission requirements & prerequisites A Bachelor’s degree of the University of Tasmania, or an equivalent qualification, with a major appropriate to the proposed course of study. An applicant who does not satisfy these prerequisites but who has extensive practical experience in the operation of spatial information technology or in a related profession, may be admitted subject to the requirement that additional coursework be undertaken as part of the Graduate Diploma. Course rules are detailed in the Rules Handbook. Course structure Candidates must complete the course in one year of full-time study or not more than two years of part-time study. Candidates, in conjunction with their supervisor, select a course which has the following components: Coursework 50%: Coursework will be selected from units offered by the Department of Surveying and Spatial Information Science or other such units offered by other departments as the Faculty may prescribe from time to time. Project 50%: ASA580 Graduate Diploma Project Work Note: The details of the units and project constituting the course of study are approved at the time of initial enrolment.

Course structure Each candidate for the degree must: • satisfactorily pass the equivalent of six graduate units representing two semesters of full-time study (see the Specimen Courses below); and • submit for examination and satisfactorily pass a thesis representing the equivalent of one semester of full-time research investigation. Candidates are advised to discuss and finalise their The course as described above will normally be completed in 16–18 months of full-time study. The maximum duration for part-time study is three years. Fee The fee for the program for Australian students is $5,400 (i.e. $600 per unit); the fee for overseas students is $13,500 per year. Specimen courses Examples of possible courses of study in the different areas of specialisation are given below. However, depending on the interests of the particular student and after discussion with the Course Coordinator, one or more of the units may be replaced by other units listed in Schedule A below.

Candidates are encouraged to suggest projects which are relevant to their jobs or careers, although the Faculty reserves the right to modify or reject such suggestions. In special circumstances, with the approval of the Head of the Department, part of the thesis work may be conducted off-campus. Engineering & Surveying robotics, signal processing, artificial intelligence and knowledge based systems and networking, to mention but a few. A more advanced knowledge than that offered by the Bachelor of Engineering or the Bachelor of Science is required in order to understand and to explore the full potential of investment in technology. The Master of Technology provides professional updating and upgrading opportunities for engineers and computing professionals who have gained a first degree and been in employment for some years. The Master of Technology is also suitable for those graduates who wish to pursue a change of career direction. The degree is also applicable to young graduates who feel that their undergraduate training is inadequate for the specialisation they are seeking. 532 University of Tasmania – Course and Unit Handbook Power Engineering and Process Control AEA831 Digital Signal Processing AEA835 Artificial Intelligence AEA860 Transient Behaviour in Power Systems AEA861 Optimisation in Power Systems AEA863 Industrial Measurement Systems Plus one other unit selected with the approval of the course supervisor.

A specific enquiry is necessary to determine which units will be offered within each student’s course duration. [b] Each of these units is used for a program of directed study in a topic specifically approved for each student. A long study unit is equivalent to two graduate units in workload. A supervisor is responsible for assessing the program of study. No more than two equivalent graduate units may be chosen from the set of Selected Study units. [c] The head of the relevant department may approve a student undertaking up to two graduate units from other programs. For an explanation of abbreviations used in schedules see inside back cover.
