Bachelor of Engineering Technology
(Professional Honours in Infrastructure Asset Management)

Note: This program will not be accepting new applications from 2020. For alternative programs please refer to here.

This course has been developed in response to the growing demand for higher education in the emerging discipline of Infrastructure Asset Management. CPEE together with The Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) and university partner The University of Tasmania (UTAS) have designed a course to provide the necessary skills and knowledge for employment in advanced technical roles involving the managment of infrastructure assets.

This course aims at providing graduands with the knowledge and skills to fill senior positions in this specialist field within local and state government, public works authorities and with engineering consultants.

Based on the internationally acclaimed International Infrastructure Management Manual (IIMM), this course has been developed to broaden the skills and knowledge gained in engineering and science undergraduate courses, or other approved undergraduate courses, and provide specialist skills in all areas relevant to infrastructure asset management.

Like the IIMM Manual, the course caters for managers new to the field as well as those seeking to learn more about advanced assetmanagement practices.

Overview

Course Objectives

This course addresses the important emerging field of infrastructure asset management for engineering graduates working in a local, state or federal government authority or seeking employment with any of those authorities. The course is a joint arrangement with the Centre for Pavement engineering Education and UTAS. CPEE has worked with the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA) to design a course that will provide the necessary skills and knowledge for employment in advanced technical roles involving the management of infrastructure assets. The course will follow the guidelines set out for management of the physical infrastructure in the International Infrastructure Asset Management Manual which has been adopted by government authorities in Australia and a number of other countries.

Commonwealth Supported Places

COMMONWEALTH SUPPORTED PLACES

All Commonwealth supported places are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government so that students only pay 'student contribution' amounts for their units of study.

Eligible Commonwealth supported students (Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders) can use a HECS-HELP loan to help pay student contribution.

To be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place, students must study onshore - for more information please see HECS-HELP Loans.

Commonwealth Assistance Form (CAF)

It is a legislative requirement that you complete a CAF if you want to take up a Commonwealth supported place. To complete an eCAF log in to the Universities eStudent, and click on the Commonwealth Assistance tab.

If you use HECS-Help and defer your fees, you will need to include your Tax File Number (TFN).

Even if you pay your fees up-front or have a full scholarship, you still need to complete a CAF but you don’t need to include your TFN.

Important! Failure to complete a CAF can result in cancellation of your enrolment.

Full Fee Places

FULL FEE PAYING PLACES

A Full Fee Paying place is not Commonwealth supported, that is, not subsidised by the Australian Government. If you are a domestic student in a Full Fee Paying place you must pay full tuition fees for your studies.

Eligible Full Fee Paying students (Australian citizens and Permanent Humanitarian Visa holders) may be eligible for a FEE-HELP loan to pay all or part of their tuition fees.

How to Pay

What to Pay?

Invoices

Student contribution or tuition fees will be invoiced to you automatically via the University of Tasmania eStudent once you have enrolled in the units you wish to study.

To view your invoice, login to your eStudent, and click on the Email My Tax Invoice button under the Finance tab.

International students should refer to the University of Tasmania International Students course fees page to get an indicative course cost.

Outcomes & Articulation

Careers in the private and public sector where the principal role is the development, management and maintenance of major public infrastructure.

Professional Recognition

It is anticipated that professional recognition of the course will follow its promotion by the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA). Using its website and its extensive mailing list IPWEA will send course information to its members and stakeholders that increasingly look to IPWEA and its National Asset Management Strategy committee (NAMS) for leadership in Infrastructure Asset Management.

Articulation

Bachelor of Engineering

Study Load

Equivalent Full Time Student Load (EFTSL)

Each of our units has an equivalent full time student load (EFTSL) of 0.125 (12.5%).
The study of one unit in a semester would be an ETFSL of 12.5%. A standard full-time load is eight units in the academic year (8*12.5%= 100% or 1 EFTSL). For our programs a full time study load would be 4 units per semester.

Credit Points

Each CPEE unit is worth one (1) credit point unless otherwise specified. One credit point involves a student workload of approximately 10 hours per week over a semester.

Study Hours

In respect to study hours, we estimate that students would need to devote approximately 10 study hours per week, per unit. These study hours are inclusive of teaching time (e.g. lectures, online teaching), independent study, assessment tasks and/or examination time. Our semesters are broken down into study and exam periods. The study period is 15 weeks duration per semester. We state that the student study workload for each unit is 150 hours over the student period. 10hrs*15wks = 150hrs.
