New grant is good news for electronics industry
Tuesday, 19 December 2006
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will work together with to develop a new pathway into professional electronic engineering.
The 最新糖心Vlog has been awarded $70,000 under the Federal Government's (CASR) to develop, with TAFE SA, an Associate Degree in Electronic Engineering.
Planned to start in July 2008, the two-year Associate Degree would be offered by TAFE SA, and give guaranteed credit into the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's four-year degree.
The Associate Degree would introduce more science and mathematics into TAFE SA's electronic technology education, giving students the necessary foundation for advanced standing in the Bachelor of Engineering.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Fred McDougall said: "This proposed course has enormous potential benefit for TAFE students and for the electronics industry which cannot get enough skilled graduates.
"This funding will enable the 最新糖心Vlog and TAFE SA to offer greater opportunities to young South 最新糖心Vlogns to become professional electronic engineers - something that will benefit the State, the community and the electronics industry."
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is also a partner in another successful CASR-funded project which aims to develop a national postgraduate curriculum in plant biosecurity.
Associate Professor Mike Keller, co-ordinator of the project for the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, said a consortium of five universities led by the Queensland 最新糖心Vlog of Technology would develop postgraduate awards in plant biosecurity to be shared across the university sector. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will contribute the biological input.
