ECIU Membership Helps Increase Student Mobility
7 May 2007
Melissa Sgarioto is an example of how Swinburne students can benefit from the University’s relationships with its international education partners. She is the first PhD student from Swinburne to participate in a cotutelle program with the UniversitEde Technologie de Compiègne in France.
Cotutelle arrangements are made on the basis of pre-existing research linkages between the research units of both universities. Swinburne’s linkage with the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU) made this possible with fellow member, Compiègne.
The program enables PhD students from France or abroad to divide their research time between their home university and a foreign university. Students spend 12 months abroad and two years at home in a three year PhD course, finishing with two PhD’s Eone from each institution.
Melissa started her PhD in the field of Biomedical Sciences at Swinburne in 2006 and commenced her year abroad last August. “It’s a great opportunity,Eshe said. “I learn a new language, I get to travel, and I get two PhD’s in the time it takes to earn oneE
“Having two PhD’s is a lot better than one,Eshe added. "It means I’ll be fully recognised anywhere across Europe, as well as having the contacts and friends based there".

New Supercomputer for Swinburne
15 March 2007
Due to our commitment to expanding the University’s research infrastructure, Swinburne has recently acquired a new supercomputer that will greatly expand the computational power available to its users.
Housed in the new supercomputer room constructed at the Hawthorn campus, the new machine The new machine will have 1,160 processing cores, 2320 GB of RAM and a theoretical peak processing speed of over 10 Trillion floating point operations per second! The disk capacity will be expanded by 194,000 GB and there will be access to 76,800 Terabytes of magnetic tape storage via 3 robots. It is, for a time at least, the first 10 Teraflop+ machine in Australia on the top 500 list. The new supercomputer also uses the new INTEL “Clovertown” processors, meaning that it will be much more environmentally friendly than the current generation of processors in use.
The new machine will be used for applications ranging from molecular simulation, to network and application design, to simulations of the Universe. It will also be capable of running graphics applications for rendering.

Swinburne to offer joint US degrees in Melbourne
12 July 2006
Swinburne's Academic Board has approved a landmark agreement with Boston's Northeastern University to teach combined courses in Melbourne from 2007.
Vice Chancellor, Professor Ian Young, said the universities will initially offer two joint masters degrees under the banner of Global Leadership Program with other programs to follow.
“I believe this is the first time that students will be able to study for Australian and American qualifications at the same place anywhere in the world.
“From 2007, Swinburne will offer two joint masters degrees with the US half of the degrees to be taught by Northeastern academics seconded to Swinburne or flown out for short lecturing stints.
"Students get to have an Australian degree taught by Australians, and they also get a North American degree taught the way it is in the US," Professor Young said.
"We see this as the first step in a broader range of joint programs the universities can offer together, initially here in Australia but long-term in the United States as well."
The joint masters will consist of a Master of Business (International Business) / Master of Science in Leadership and a Master of Accounting / Master of Science in Leadership. Around 50 students are expected to enroll in February next year, growing to about 400 in three years.
A Study Centre will be set up on Swinburne's Hawthorn campus that will act as a support and information service for enrolled and prospective students.
Northeastern is the fourth-largest private university in the US with around 24,000 students. Its Board of Trustees is expected to sign off on the agreement at its next meeting in September.

Swinburne's first group of Bangladeshi government officials graduate in disaster management
23 June 2006
After three months of extensive disaster management training in Victoria, twenty Bangladeshi officials graduated from Swinburne and headed home to lead the way in stepping up the natural-disaster stricken country‘s relief efforts. The students, from the Bangladesh Government Ministry of Food and Disaster Management, were the first of three groups to undertake the specialised training.
The graduation, held at Hawthorn Town Hall on Friday 23 June, was extra colourful with the formal regalia coupled with traditional Bangladeshi attire.
Bangladesh is considered one of the worse affected countries in the world for natural disasters and is making moves to establish itself as a leading centre for disaster management and training in the Asian subcontinent.
According to one of the graduates Md. Monowar Hossain the Swinburne course in Graduate Certificate in Disaster Management will pave the way for the change that is needed to move from traditional relief and rehabilitation efforts towards a new approach to disaster management in Bangladesh.
"As a result of the training we are hoping this will be a step forward from our current way of handling natural disasters to the style used in Australia and New Zealand. The shift to this model of disaster management has given us a different approach and will help us reduce the risks of living in a country proned to natural disasters."
Course coordinator Bernhard Liedtke said "the model and theory the group were taught are adopted by Victoria's emergency services and a number of visits to the State Emergency Coordination Centre, and a local fire brigade showed the students how it is used in Australia," he said.
One of the field trips was a visit to Benalla where the group learnt how the municipality managed the effects from the disastrous floods in the Spring of 1993. “Hearing how they improved and maintained the water flow through a town at a local level was a good way of seeing the theory put into practice,Esaid Md. Monowar Hossain.
Australian High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Mr Douglas Foskett said Australia was pleased to provide the scholarships which will assist Bangladesh to develop its human resource capacity, particularly in the important sector of disaster risk management.

Indian Sisters Find Varied Career Options in Robotics/Mechatronics Course
26 April 2006
Engineering is often seen as a male-dominated field, but not for the Chhikara sisters, both studying a robotics/mechatronics course at Swinburne University.
Aakanksha and Abhiruchi (right) have been inspired by their father, who designed one of the first mechanical brick plants in India, in their hometown of Haryana.
Aakanksha, in her final year of studies, worked with her father to design a new brick-cutting system and has already had international experience working for Bosch in Germany as part of a six-month industry placement.
The experience made her realise that technical skills are just part of the equation in engineering. “Project and people management skills are very important. Being able to communicate what is required in a project and lead a team is an important part of the job.
“The placement opportunity was one of the reasons I chose Swinburne. As an international student I had to do lots of research and as it's such a big decision, it's important to compare every university on its merits, and find out about what students have to say about it,” she said.
First year student Abhiruchi really enjoys the emphasis on teamwork and problem solving in her course. “It's very practical and from day one you are working on applying the theory you learn into practice.”
Aakanksha says the course has opened her eyes to how diverse the robotics/mechatronics field really is with robotic prosthetics used widely in medical research.
While the majority of robots have been used in manufacturing, a recent trend has seen robots used in a variety of applications including space and underwater exploration, medicine and a wide range of service industries.
“Robotics is a very creative and dynamic field of engineering and there is a lot of scope in terms of career opportunities.”

Schooling for Dependents of Post-Graduate Research Students
13 December 2005
Victorian Government Minister Lynne Kosky has announced that dependents of international post-graduate research students at Swinburne University of Technology and other Victorian universities will receive full exemption from tuition fees in government primary and secondary schools from 1 January 2006.
The exemption has been published in Ministerial Order No. 28 relating to the fees and charges payable in respect of international students enrolled in Government schools in 2006.
The exemption will apply to international students with a visa subclass 574 issued on or after 1 July 2004. Current students will be entitled to the exemption from 1 January next year.
There is no restriction on the number of dependents.
The exemption does not apply retrospectively (that is, no refunds can be made for tuition that took place prior to 1 January 2006).
It applies only for the duration of the 574 visa, so if a student's visa class changes, they may be required to pay tuition fees for their dependents.
