MRE80001
2015
Swinburne
University of Technology
Faculty
of Science, Engineering and Technology
Swinburne
University of Technology in collaboration with Nortek will offer a unit on Coastal and Maritime Engineering
(MRE80001) in Semester 2, 2015. This unit is presented by industry and academic
experts and provides an in-depth overview of oceanic
and coastal waves, hydrodynamics, ocean and coastal engineering applications
and numerical modelling (a draft unit outline is presented
below).
This
subject is one of the five subjects in the Graduate Certificate in Port and
Harbour Engineering offered by the Swinburne University. The subject can be
taken as a single unit of study or as a part of the Graduate Certificate, the
first formal Port Engineering qualification in Australia.
Other
core subjects of the Graduate Certificate are Port and Harbour Engineering,
Dredging Engineering, Port Access and Navigation, and Port Structural Design; the
former two are offered in Semester 1, while the latter two are Semester 2 subjects.
None of these five subjects is a pre-requisite to another, and the subjects can
be taken separately:
Students can formally enrol in the MRE80001 unit or in the Graduate Certificate in Engineering/Port
and Harbour and complete the assignment for credits, or can choose to register
and attend the seminars only. The assessment involves three short assignments,
due throughout the second half of the semester.
Full flyer at:
When:
A week of intensive seminars will be held on 14 – 18
September 2015 (36 hours).
Where:
The classes will be held at the Swinburne University of
Technology, Hawthorn campus.
Cost:

Certificate can be found at the following link:

How to apply:
All applications are due by 24 August
2015
Application to enrol in Coastal and
Maritime Engineering as a single unit of study:
This will provide you with
recognition of enrolment in this unit. You would receive a Swinburne transcript
with the respective grade for your assessment in this single unit of study.
Successful completion of this unit gains 12.5 points credit towards the
Swinburne’s Graduate Certificate of Engineering/Port and Harbour Engineering
(50 credit points).
For admission,
applicants should have completed a bachelor degree or diploma in engineering,
or have relevant industry experience.
To enrol in Coastal and Maritime
Engineering as a single unit of study or to enrol in the Graduate Certificate, follow the instructions here:
Seminar registration:
To
attend the seminars without submitting any assessment (i.e. seminar only),
