24 | P Passed at least 48 credit points in Master of professional engineering with adequate foundation knowledge in discipline. Students wishing to do this unit of study should contact the Head of School prior to enrolment. C MIPPS students are required to enroll in Foundation of Chemical Engineering Design B in the second semester (second year). These students need to acquire several of the skills, which the students at University will acquire in Design A. Students undertaking MIPPS are consequently encouraged to make the most of this learning opportunity by the Case Study component, which provides some requirements to look outside the confines of their immediate project. This course will give a unique opportunity to high performance students in Master of Professional Engineering to acquire practical experience. N CHNG5112, ENGG5219, ENGG5220, ENGG5221 Note: Department permission required for enrolment Enrollment by permission only. The students enrolled in this subject should complete the first year Master of Professional Engineering with specialisation in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and a minimum credit average. The candidate will be selected by interview and at the discretion of the Head of School. Students are exempted from completing Foundation of Chemical Engineering Design A (CHNG5112), Engineering Project (ENGG5219 or ENGG5220 and ENGG5221) and one of the electives from the Specialist Units of Study that students are expected to take in the first semester of the second year. This exemption is granted because students are exposed to the core aspects of these courses through practical exercises undertaken during the MIPPS placement. While undertaking MIPPS, students have a unique opportunity to see and experience the industrial environment around them, in a manner which is not available at University. |
