Overview

This exit-only program allows students to gain in-depth knowledge and skills in the particular major that they undertook as part of their undergraduate engineering studies. The course provides an opportunity for engineers to deepen the knowledge and skills gained in their first degree while expanding their managerial and professional engineering knowledge.

This program allows students to choose a program of study that deepens the body of knowledge acquired in their first degree as well as expands knowledge boundaries into policy and engineering management areas. It also provides an opportunity to deepen their knowledge and gain practical skills in a particular major.

Career options

Students who hold an undergraduate engineering degree are able to enhance their knowledge and ability in their respective majors, enabling them to gain and hold employment in relevant engineering fields.

Course intended learning outcomes

A.1 Graduate Diploma in Engineering graduates are culturally and historically well informed, able to work as respectful professionals with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
B.1 Graduate Diploma in Engineering graduates are socially responsible professionals, able to engage a broad range of stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of needs and impacts of engineering systems.
C.1 Graduate Diploma in Engineering graduates apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to design components, systems and processes to meet specified stakeholder requirements.
D.1 Graduate Diploma in Engineering graduates exhibit an integrated understanding of engineering systems through specialised technical skills. They apply fundamental discipline concepts, to evaluate, implement and operate engineering systems.
E.1 Graduate Diploma in Engineering graduates collaborate as an effective member or leader of diverse teams both within and across disciplines and communicate effectively with specialist and non-specialist audiences.
F.1 Graduate Diploma in Engineering graduates take responsibility and accountability for their own lifelong learning. They critically review and reflect on their own and others' performance to improve themselves and provide constructive feedback within their teams.
