Document - Document - Student Characteristics, VIOSH: University of Ballarat, Division of Engineering and Science, Desirable Characteristics of Graduates
Victorian Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (VIOSH) Australia is the Asia-Pacific centre for teaching and research in occupational health and safety (OHS) and is known as one of Australia's leaders on the field. VIOSH has a global reputation for its innovative approach within the field of OHS management. VIOSH had its first intake of students in 1979. At that time the Institution was known as the Ballarat College of Advanced Education. In 1990 it became known as Ballarat University College, then in 1994 as University of Ballarat. It was 2014 that it became Federation University. VIOSH Australia students are safety managers, senior advisors and experienced OHS professionals. They come from all over Australia and industry. Students are taught active research and enquiry; rather than textbook learning and a one-size fits all approach. VIOSH accepts people into the Graduate Diploma of Occupational Hazard Management who have no undergraduate degree - on the basis of extensive work experience and knowledge. A document titled "Desirable Characteristics of the 21st Century Engineering Graduate" was from the University of Ballarat Division of Engineering and Science, Bachelor of Engineering Course. Page 1 states that Engineering educators should aspire to produce Graduates with a defined set of characteristics - 10 listed. Page 2 relates to the Engineering Course stating it should emphasise a number of key areas - 8 listed. Examples were obtained from Wollongong and Monash. These ideas were then used to formulate 10 characteristics for the University of Ballarat - "The Ideal Science Graduate" Document tabled by Roy Schrieke "The Ideal Science Graduate" 14/03/1995Six A4 pages - typed and with chartsviosh, victorian institute of occupational safety and health, university of ballarat, desirable charcteristics of engineering students, roy schrieke - lecturer, wollongong, monash, engineering and science -
