COURSE DESCRIPTION
This graduate diploma course is designed for engineers with a background in electrical, electronics, instrumentation & control, or industrial computer systems engineering, who seek to advance their career and to build on their current engineering specialization.
This program is offered standalone or as an exit point after the first year of the two-year master’s degree.
What will I learn/gain:
Skills and knowledge in the latest developing technologies in electrical systems
Practical guidance from electrical experts from around the world
Global networking contacts in academia and industry
Improved career options
You will examine the dominant technologies in power generation, distribution and transmission.
You will learn how to conduct effective power systems analysis, consider issues in smart energy conversion, and be able to apply an accurate power system dynamic model for system stability.
You will investigate wind and solar energy as examples of centralized and distributed renewable power sources as well as the effects of renewable integration on classic power issues.
You will refine your business knowledge and communication skills and add technical knowledge necessary to lead engineering teams and execute complex solutions
You will engage in a detailed review of earthing/grounding, system protection and safety.
Program Details
The rapid development of the renewable field has led to a shortage of fully skilled electrical engineers who are competent in both classic power system operation and renewable system integration. The Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Electrical Systems) is designed in consultation with industry and addresses the issues associated with emerging technologies in electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. The program offers eight core units to provide knowledge, skills and professional competencies required for this industry.
Potential job roles include engineering and management positions in the following areas of expertise:
Electric Utility Engineers
Electrical Engineers
Maintenance Engineers and Supervisors
Energy Manage Process Engineers
Design Engineers
Project Managers
Consulting Engineers
Production Managers
Electrical & Control Engineer
Electrical Designer
Renewable System Engineer
Grid Connection Engineer
REQUIREMENTS
To gain entry into this program, we require applicants to hold:
A recognized 3-year bachelor degree in an engineering qualification in a congruent field of practice; OR
An EIT Bachelor of Science (Engineering) degree in a congruent field of practice; OR
A 4-year Bachelor of Engineering qualification (or equivalent) that is recognized under the Washington Accord or by Engineers Australia, in a congruent, or a different field of practice at the discretion of the Admissions Committee; OR
A 4-year Bachelor of Engineering qualification (or equivalent) that is not recognized under the Washington Accord, in a congruent field of practice to this program; AND
An appropriate level of English Language Proficiency equivalent to an English pass level in an Australian Senior Certificate of Education, or an IELTS score of 6.0 (with no individual band less than 6.0), or equivalent as outlined in the EIT Admissions Policy.
With integrated compulsory twelve-week professional industry experience, training or project work of which six weeks are directly supervised by a professional/eligible professional engineer as determined by EIT.
Congruent field of practice means one of the following with adequate Electrical Engineering content (fields not listed below to be considered by the Dean and the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis):

Applicants may have a maximum of one individual band of 5.5 and be granted entry subject to the provision of English language support by EIT.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) delivers industry driven programs to equip its students with the skills required in the real industrial world. Its study options are available across Perth and Melbourne; and include classroom sessions, practical lab exercises, assessments, class discussions and self-study. Additionally, students enjoy access to industry experts based around the globe through live and interactive online presentations. All EIT programs provide access to remote laboratories and cutting-edge simulation software. Hands-on laboratory practicals are an essential component of EIT’s programs to ensure students put theory into practice. These hands-on workshops cover the major discipline-specific applied skills required for competency in engineering practice.
