Research Degrees
Two decades ago, the Industrial Research Institute Swinburne (IRIS)
and its predecessor (The CIM Centre) pioneered industry-oriented
postgraduate research programs in Australia at Master
of Engineering
and PhD level. Since that time, more than a hundred research
students have graduated after completing leading-edge
industry projects in areas such as:
Advanced
Manufacturing Technology
Automation and Control
Mechatronics
Microsystems Technology
Non-Contact Inspection
Robotics.
These projects were completed in collaboration with leading-edge
Australian organisations, including Air International,
ANCA, CSIRO, Fleetguard, Ford, General Motors Holden, Moldflow, Softronics,
Thin-ICE, and numerous others.
PhD and Master of Engineering (by Research) programs provide
young researchers with an accelerated learning path that
includes both
industrial and research experience, thereby maximising
career options
upon completion, with most going onto successful careers
with the industrial partner
company that sponsored their research at IRIS.
