Overview

If you are commencing in Term 2 2020 under the Government's Higher Education Relief Package due to COVID-19, please refer to the advice in the Additional Information section below. The Graduate Certificate of Engineering Science program is designed for engineers and graduates wishing to develop and expand their knowledge and … For more content click the Read More button below. Students will add breadth to their knowledge of engineering in general and expand their knowledge and skills in engineering management. Students will develop their technical knowledge and ability to analyse engineering problems. They will also gain further skills in solving engineering problems and justifying professional decisions. The program articulates to the Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science program with full credit for courses completed in the Graduate Certificate program. Students may exit from this proposed program with a Graduate Certificate award if they have completed the required course requirements. A credit average (65%) is generally required to articulate to the next level in the sequence. (* It is also possible for students to acquire knowledge and skills in a different specialisation at the approval of the Stream Authority. This may require the student to take additional foundation and disciplinary knowledge courses at the discretion of the Stream Authority). The program is designed to enable students to fulfil a number of needs including: Updating technical knowledge and skills in an existing engineering specialisationAcquiring new knowledge and skills in a different engineering specialisationDeveloping and expanding knowledge and skills in engineering managementUpdating qualifications and knowledge to meet or maintain professional accreditation standardsProviding opportunities for continuing professional developmentProviding opportunities for interaction with those at the cutting edge of the disciplineProviding a pathway towards the Master's program. Note: All software required for coursework is provided on the computers in the School computer laboratories. Some students find it advantageous to buy their own computer and software so that they can work at home. Some external courses may require students to own their own computer with Microsoft Office or equivalent. Specialist software packages that are required for external courses will be provided as part of the course pack to students.
