Graduate Diploma
This course is ideal for practising professionals who wish to update their existing qualifications and/or enhance their skills in the areas of electrical power, process control, instrumentation and/or industrial computer systems engineering.
Depending on your area of focus and career goals you can select an area of specialisation to help develop the skills you need as practising professional.
A focus on electrical power and industrial computer systems engineering will provide you with skills and knowledge of power system components and the effects of distributed resources, such as rooftop photovoltaic and energy storage, and demand response on power delivery networks. You'll also learn about the use and application of computing technologies in the operation of modern energy systems, industrial plants, manufacturing processes and material processing industries.
A focus on Instrumentation Control and Industrial Computer Systems will provide you with skills and knowledge of classical and advanced control systems concepts. You'll use engineering software packages to model and simulate processes. You'll also learn how to design and implement appropriate control systems and evaluate the performance of those systems in our Instrumentation and Control laboratory.
Successful completion of this course provides a clear pathway into the second year of the Master of Engineering.
Build essential skills and knowledge to meet your career or study goals. Topics you'll cover include:
