Strong Links with IndustrySwinburne was a pioneer of Industry-

Based Learning in Australia, with the first

programs offered to undergraduate

engineering students in 1963. Over the

years the benefits of these strong links

have spread to other disciplines in the

University, illustrating the importance that

Swinburne places on its many contacts

with industry. Many postgraduate research

and coursework programs also involve

close industry interaction. Students

undertake supervised project work on real

industrial problems under authentic

research is concentrated in specialist

centres which are renowned for their

industry and institutional links, community

service and multidisciplinary approach.

students the flexibility of exit points. Suites

are available in a number of disciplines

including General Management,

Information Technology, Information

Systems, Entrepreneurship and Innovation,

International Management, Risk

Management, Multimedia Design and

Design Studies.

Flexible EntrySwinburne offers a broad range of

graduate certificate programs which are

especially attractive to applicants with

several years of industry experience, but

who may have no formal undergraduate

qualifications. Graduates of these programs

have the opportunity to undertake further

postgraduate qualifications with the

University.

Evening ClassesMost of our postgraduate coursework

programs can be taken on a part-time

basis and many are run in the evening,

Colloid and Biocolloid TechnologyColloids and biocolloids are small particles with unique propertiesarising from their high surface area, with biocolloids being ofbiological origin. Colloid and biocolloid technology is very much aninterdisciplinary subject, combining the studies of physicalchemistry with other fields such as biotechnology, microbiology,biology and physics.

Some examples of processes that rely heavily on the applicationof colloidal systems are water quality and treatment, enzymetechnologies, ore flotation, detergency, bioremediation, foodprocessing, soil conditioning, oil recovery and environmentaldisaster management. Understanding the way that small particlesand surfaces interact with each other in colloidal systems is ofgreat importance to these and many other processes.

housing provision in these times of a declining commitment to

public housing and increased policy confidence in private rental

housing. Also significant has been research into housing market

developments, and the effect of planning deregulation on

neighbourhood identity and stability.

n Individual health – by conducting research into stress, coping,

post-traumatic growth and social identity, with an emphasis on

contributors to both risk and resilience in physical and mental

health domains. The role of culture, social norms and social

Brendan Rogers makes these hi-techdreams a reality. His education atSwinburne is a good example of theTAFE to PhD progression the Universityoffers.

Brendan undertook a Tertiary OrientationProgram (TOP) in the TAFE area beforecompleting a degree in electrical andelectronic engineering, and a PhD andpost-doctoral research in artificialintelligence.

He is now a director of Clever Home PtyLtd, a company that designs innovativeautomated systems for the home. Thecompany integrates equipment fromdifferent manufacturers and developssoftware for each unique application.

“Using conventional light switches anduncoordinated appliances will soon beconsidered old-fashioned,” Brendan said.

“New homes are increasingly beingfitted with systems that integrate andnetwork the control of lights, air-conditioning, watering, security,surveillance, communications, roller-shutters, blinds and entertainment. Thisenables homeowners to enjoy greaterconvenience, safety, security andflexibility. Software can be changed atany time and tailored to suit the client’sneeds,” he said.

“The MEI is an outstanding experience for

anyone wanting to understand the

principles of entrepreneurship and

innovation and to put those principles into

practice. The people I’ve had the privilege

to learn with and the networks developed

are outstanding. And apart from the hard

work, it’s a lot of fun, too! In my very first

class I remember clasping my head in my

hands saying “I wish I’d known this 10

years ago – I may not have had so many

‘learning opportunities’!”

“My new businesses, Nexus Business

Coaching and FastTrac Victoria Pty. Ltd.

was founded just three months after

starting the MEI. Five years on I am in the

fortunate position of being able to share

my skills and the learning gained

throughout my years of experience in

business and the MEI. Not only that,

through my ongoing association with

Swinburne, the networks formed and

many friends who were also doing the

MEI, I am able to keep up-to-date with

leading-edge thinking in these

increasingly important areas. Having a

passion for people and business is a

powerful combination I am now privileged

to be able to combine in my coaching and

training businesses.”

In her role as Quality Manager of two

private hospitals Debbie Neilsen was

asked to comment on the proposed

curriculum for Swinburne’s Graduate

Certificate in Quality Management.

Debbie was so impressed by the course

content that she enrolled for the 12 month

part-time course and is enjoying every

minute of it.

Working as a Quality Manager for five

years, Debbie said she was aware of most

of the areas covered by the course, but it

enables her to increase her depth of

knowledge and understanding.

“It has also helped me to reinforce my

ability to use what I am learning in my job

on a daily basis,” she said.

Debbie had been intending to study, and

had in fact been accepted into two other

courses before she discovered the

Graduate Certificate in Quality Management

based at Swinburne’s Hawthorn campus.

“I had not studied for years and the fact

that this course was only two evenings a

week and I could complete it in one year

was a good way to get into the study

regime,” she said.

“I have a rather demanding job but I have

managed to fit the two in and as the course

is so relevant to my work it makes it so

much more interesting.”

Debbie plans to continue studying after she

completes her graduate certificate and one

day aims to complete a masters degree.
