The Faculty introduced a new degree structure in 1985, requiring a major re-organization of all its degrees. A diagrammatic summary of this structure is given in Chapter 3. Since 1985 there has been no intake into the existing bachelor degree courses in Architecture (B.Arch., 5 years), Building (B.BIdg., 4 years) and Town and Regional Planning (B.T.R.P., 4 years), which are being progressively phased out. Teaching for the new degree of Bachelor of Planning and Design was introduced in 1985. One-year postgraduate diplomas in Architecture, Building and Urban Planning and two-year master degrees by coursework in Architecture and Building will be introduced in 1988. The two new master by coursework degrees will complement the Faculty's existing coursework master degrees in Environmental Studies, Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. The Bachelor of Planning and Design is a three year pre-professional degree (with an optional fourth honours year for outstanding students). The degree will be undertaken on a full-time basis. It will provide, by means of various combinations of majors, an appropriate background for those who wish to complete their professional training in architecture, building, quantity surveying, urban planning or landscape architecture. Such professional training would be gained by undertaking pne of the Faculty's existing or proposed postgraduate courses. The Faculty also offers higher degrees by research in Architecture (M.Arch.), Building (M.BIdg.), Environmental Studies (M.Env.S ), Landscape Architecture (M.L. Arch.) and Town and Regional Planning (M.T.R.P.). Qualified applicants may undertake supervised research work in the departments of the Faculty towards the degree of doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The Faculty of Architecture and Planning is associated with five professional institutes (Australian Institute of Building, Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, Royal Australian Institute of Architects, Royal Australian Planning Institute, Australian Institute of Landscape Architects). The following existing degrees of the Faculty are accepted as satisfying the academic requirements for entry to the various professions with which the Faculty

  • Education in Australia Streams in the History Of
    STREAMS IN THE HISTORY OF COMPUTER EDUCATION IN AUSTRALIA An Overview of School and University Computer Education Arthur Tatnall and Bill Davey Victoria University and RMIT University Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In world terms, Australia moved into the educational computing, both at the Higher Education and School levels, very early. This paper looks at how university subjects, and later how whole courses in computing evolved in Australia and how these had very little effect on the later use of computers in schools. We briefly examine how computers were first used in schools, and the influences that put them there and decided how they could be used. We relate an established a model of the growth of academic subjects to the emergence of the discipline area of computing, and in particular, to the Victorian Year 12 Computer Science subject. Key words: Computer science; Information systems; Computer education; Computers across the curriculum; School computing; University computing. 1. INTRODUCTION The Commonwealth of Australia is a federation of six states and two territories each having a considerable degree of independence. Constitutionally, education is the role of the individual State; the Commonwealth Government being limited to co-ordination, leadership and the funding of specific projects. While also considering Australia-wide issues, this paper will concentrate its perspective on the state of Victoria. In this paper we will provide an overview of the evolution and history of the various streams of educational computing in Australia: University-level Computer Science and Information Systems courses, Primary and Secondary School courses teaching about computing, and the use of computers in other 84 Arthur Tatnall and Bill Davey school subjects.

To new and prospective students may I begin by briefly 'acquainting you of the structure of the Faculty of Engineering. The Faculty comprises five Departments: Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mech­ anical Engineering and Metallurgy. In addition to the Bachelors degree programmes offered in these five major areas, the Department of Electrical Engineering offers the B.E. in Computer Engineering, the Department of Mechanical Engineering the B.E. in Industrial Engineering, while the Deparment of Civil Engineering now offers a complete four year Bachelor of Surveying course. Courses are available on a full-time or part-time basis, or a combination of these, and, in 1978 Sandwich Patterns will be available in the Electrical and Mechanical degree courses. In each degree programme the opportunity for some specialization exists in the later course years through a wide selection of technical electives. The Faculty is also active at the post­ graduate level, offering formal courses leading to the Diploma in Industrial Engineering and Master of Engineering Science, as well as providing opportunities for postgraduate research at Masters and Doctorate levels.

  • 50 Years of IFIP - Developments and Visions IFIP – the International Federation for Information Processing
    50 Years of IFIP - Developments and Visions IFIP – The International Federation for Information Processing IFIP was founded in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO, following the First World Computer Congress held in Paris the previous year. An umbrella organi- zation for societies working in information processing, IFIP’s aim is two-fold: to support information processing within its member countries and to encourage technology transfer to developing nations. As its mission statement clearly states, IFIP’s mission is to be the leading, truly international, apolitical organization which encourages and assists in the development, ex- ploitation and application of information technology for the benefit of all people. IFIP is a non-profitmaking organization, run almost solely by 2500 volunteers. It operates through a number of technical committees, which organize events and publications. IFIP’s events range from an international congress to local seminars, but the most important are: • The IFIP World Computer Congress, held every second year; • Open conferences; • Working conferences. The flagship event is the IFIP World Computer Congress, at which both invited and contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the rejection rate is high. As with the Congress, participation in the open conferences is open to all and papers may be invited or submitted. Again, submitted papers are stringently ref- ereed. The working conferences are structured differently. They are usually run by a working group and attendance is small and by invitation only. Their purpose is to create an atmosphere conducive to innovation and development. Refereeing is less rigorous and papers are subjected to extensive group discussion.

  • Turning Points in Computer Education
    Turning Points in Computer Education Bill Davey1 and Kevin R. Parker2 1 RMIT University, Melbourne Australia [email protected] 2 College of Business, Idaho State University, Pocatello USA [email protected] Abstract. This history of computers in education covers two continents. By analysing the experiences of two people a set of turning points in history is identified. These turning points are in the experienced history and so indicate the impact of changes on the citizens of two countries. Keywords: Computers, education, history. 1 Introduction One view of the history of computers and education starts with the use of computers like CSIRAC, used some educational purposes starting in November 1949 [1]. We can be certain that large scale roll outs of educational programs had been established by 1968 as, in that year, reports were being published regarding the success of the use of PLATO terminals [2-4]. Despite the certainty of facts supporting this view of his- tory, questions remain: “How widespread were computers in education?” and “what were the real impacts on people’s lives from the computer and when did they become real for the ordinary person?” Trends in history can be seen by following the careers of giants and pioneers. An- other view can be obtained by following the paths of those who are swept along by history. This paper examines the career of two information systems academics from either side of the Pacific, one Australian and one American. These two societies, which were responsible for producing the first computers and using them as educa- tional aids, are considered to be at the forefront of computers in education.
