Colloid and Biocolloid TechnologyColloids and biocolloids are small particles with unique propertiesarising from their high surface area, with biocolloids being ofbiological origin. Colloid and biocolloid technology is very muchan interdisciplinary subject, combining the studies of physicalchemistry with other fields such as biotechnology, microbiology,biology and physics.

Some examples of processes that rely heavily on the applicationof colloidal systems are water quality and treatment, enzymetechnologies, ore flotation, detergency, bioremediation, foodprocessing, soil conditioning, oil recovery and environmentaldisaster management. Understanding the way that small particlesand surfaces interact with each other in colloidal systems is ofgreat importance to these and many other processes.

Dianne Anderson is researching how

children’s brains function when

using their memory to learn facts.

She plans to earn a PhD with her

research, which she is completing at

Swinburne’s Brain Sciences Institute.

Her interest in children’s memory has

developed out of her work as a clinical

neuropsychologist at a large Melbourne

hospital. She said, "A large part of my

work was pediatric neuropsychology and

it was getting to the point where I had lots

of ideas I wanted to work on in more

depth – so I thought I’d do a PhD."

Dianne is no stranger to research and has

assisted with several research projects

since gaining her undergraduate degree in

psychology and later earning a masters in

clinical neuropsychology.

A PhD is a big commitment, not least

financially. Dianne has been awarded a

three and half year scholarship, which she

describes as, "…livable, but only just! I

still do a little clinical work but at least it’s

related to my research. I guess I’m lucky

in that I got a qualification and a

profession before coming back to study."

When asked how research compares to

regular work she said, "It’s an enormous

luxury in lots of ways. You can read and

explore what you want to without

immediate deadlines like in normal work.

But it’s harder in some ways, you have to

be more self-disciplined and focused."

commerce degree and at the same time

he set up his own business.

He soon left university to concentrate on

the business, which has grown to become

one of Australia’s leading digital media

and Internet services providers. His

company is now listed on the Australian

Stock Exchange.

Although he has been highly successful in

developing his business, and was even a

finalist in the Young Australian of the Year,

he felt he would benefit from returning to

university.

Domenic signed up for a Master of

Entrepreneurship and Innovation and

spent the next three years studying on

Saturdays, and a few Sundays and

evenings during the week.

He said, “I really enjoyed meeting like-

minded individuals, continually being

challenged, and learning not only from the

teachers but also from my peers.

“The course enabled me to gather

together all I had learnt from running the

business, add in new information and give

it all a structure and discipline I found

extremely valuable.”

Domenic still keeps in touch with the

group he studied with. “There’s about a

dozen of us who keep in touch, it’s a real

network we’ve built up. We support each

other in a business and social sense.”

Asher Ellazam had been an IT consultant

for 15 years before he signed up for the

Graduate Diploma of Business

(eBusiness and Communication).

A brief period of unemployment a couple of

years ago was the driver for Asher to start

studying. He could see he needed to

upgrade his skills to remain competitive.

The Diploma is Asher’s first experience of

tertiary education. He said, “Swinburne was

happy to accept me, based on my years of

experience in the IT industry.”

Asher is taking three years to complete the

Diploma, on a part-time basis, while he

works during the day for one of the ‘big

four’ banks.

He said, “The teaching has been very

practical and the lecturers have been

flexible, enabling us to explore areas of

eBusiness we are interested in.

“I found the course is focused on business

rather than the technical side and the mix

of people on the course has been good –

middle managers and business people, not

just technical people.”

Asher admits it is hard juggling his

commitments. His wife also works and

studies and he has two toddlers. “But in

the end all the hard work will pay off.”

Since starting the Diploma, Asher has

developed plans for his own eBusiness.

He intends to set up online services for

businesses in the dangerous goods industry.

His studies and assignments played a big

part in developing the business plan and

his business has been accepted into a

company incubator program.

So even before he graduates Asher could

well be putting his new-found eBusiness

skills to use in his own business venture.

As executive assistant to a senior

banker, Laurelle Whiffin is expected

to keep up to date with the latest

office technology and business

practices.

She completed a certificate in office and

secretarial studies in the mid-nineties

and has learnt a lot on the job, working

in a variety of office roles.

Laurelle said, "I decided to continue my

studies to gain a tertiary qualification,

which would stand me in good stead for

future promotions.

"I wasn’t sure what course would suit

me. I used the Internet and found the

Graduate Certificate in Business –

Executive Administration."

Now Laurelle has started the course she

says, "I’m really enjoying it. At the start

when I was given the assignments and

course work it all felt a bit

overwhelming. But I’ve learnt to break

the course down to a step at a time and

that keeps it manageable.

"I’ve learnt so much that I can take

back to the workplace. My PowerPoint

presentations will never be the same

again!"

Laurelle believes once she finishes the

course she will be ready for promotion.

"It’s a competitive job market out there

and I don’t want to be left behind. The

work environment is always changing

and it’s good to know I’ll be ready for it."

In India, Alston Soares completed a

Bachelor of Accounting and found he

enjoyed learning about accounting

systems and software. He wanted to

know more about IT and decided that

a postgraduate course would open up

opportunities and help him define his

career objectives.

Studying overseas appealed to Alston and

Australia seemed a logical choice. Australia

has the educational and technological

infrastructure he wanted and he had

friends in Australia who recommended it.

But maybe, more importantly, Alston is

fanatical about sport and wanted to study

in a country that played cricket!

Alston used his contacts and the Internet

to research which course was best for him

and decided on Swinburne’s Master of

Information Technology. He said, “I enjoy

the way the course is structured. It is

tough, and very rigorous, but you don’t

want to go into the workforce unprepared.”

“The course focused on many areas I am

interested in like systems development

and analysis, it’s been a good preparation

for my move into the IT industry.”

After studying for two years at Swinburne

Alston became an Australian resident and

plans a career here as a systems analyst.

Alston is positive about his career

prospects. He said, “My accounting systems

knowledge combined with my new IT skills

puts me in a good position to start my

career once I have completed my masters.”

Shashank Pande completed a Bachelor

of Mechanical Engineering in 1994 at

M.S. University of Baroda in Gujarat.

After graduating, Shashank spent six years

working for an engineering company in

India before deciding it was time to

consider returning to the classroom.

He said, “I felt my experience was not

enough for me to reach my career goals.

I wanted to upgrade my skills and learn

more about information technology, and

that meant I needed to study again.”

An international student recruitment fair

in Mumbai gave Shashank the chance to

meet representatives from several

Australian universities. He had been

looking for a straightforward IT course,

but the Swinburne representatives told

him about the Master of Engineering

(Industrial Information Technology).

“I had no idea such a course existed,

where I could combine my engineering

background with IT. The Swinburne rep

was really helpful in explaining all my

options and giving me a clear idea of

what to expect from each course.”

Shashank was soon on a plane to

Melbourne and has spent one and a half

years in full-time study. In that time he

was awarded two scholarships for his

consistently high results.

Having almost finished his masters he

said, “The course developed my

management and IT skills. I feel well

prepared to return to India, where

industrial IT skills are needed by so many

developing industries.”
