C11048v3 Graduate Certificate in Engineering

Overview

This course is designed to provide an opportunity for practising professional engineers or technologists to extend their engineering knowledge and to update their knowledge and skills in line with recent advances. It also allows graduates in related disciplines to undertake formal study in engineering, and may be of value to professionally qualified immigrant engineers seeking orientation to Australian conditions and practice.

Career options

This course allows participants to enhance their ability to understand some principles of engineering either at a basic level or in the choice of their major.

This course is also popular among potential students who have been away from study for a while, and who want to gain current knowledge and understanding in their choice of major.

Credit recognition

Course duration and attendance

The course may be taken on a one-semester, full-time or one-year, part-time basis. Classes are usually held in the evenings, in block and/or in distance mode.

Course structure

Students complete 24 credit points of study, designing their own program to suit individual needs. Program details are determined prior to enrolment, in consultation with, and with the approval of, an academic adviser designated by the Director, Postgraduate Coursework Programs, UTS: Engineering.

Some program majors may require students to complete prescribed subjects with or without opportunity for electives. In these cases, the area of program major is recognised on the candidate's academic record.

Subject selection should be clearly related to a professional theme.

A major need not be selected, though a major is granted if three subjects (18 credit points) are completed within a particular postgraduate program major.

Course program

The tables below give details of each major: for each major there are three tables. The first lists the compulsory subjects and allowable option choices for the major. The next two tables show the subjects typically offered in Autumn and Spring semesters. Where an elective is specified, the subject is to be chosen from postgraduate subjects offered within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, as listed in the elective option. Recommended programs take account of the semesters in which subjects are offered and the way the timetable is designed to avoid clashes. Some subjects are offered in weekly mode, others in block mode, and others in distance mode or a combination of modes.
