COURSE DESCRIPTION
This advanced program is delivered with a strong emphasis on vocational application and aims to impart practical and advanced knowledge. It is a high-level qualification designed for those who have already attained an undergraduate degree or can demonstrate significant industry experience combined with continuing professional development. Upon completion of this program, you will gain skills and knowledge in the latest advanced technologies in power generation through renewable energy technologies.
Program Details
The Graduate Certificate in Renewable Energy Technologies is an advanced program, presented at a considerably higher level than the advanced diploma and bachelor’s degree level programs. This program has equal standing and level to that of a university Graduate Diploma but focuses on the career outcomes of a professional engineer and technologist. It has a higher vocational or ‘job related’ emphasis and focuses more on developing practical skills that you can apply to the workplace, rather than theory alone.
The program deals with practical issues of renewable energy that will confront an advanced practitioner in the field. For example, you will be expected to critically analyse the characteristics of solar irradiation, wind, and water as energy sources. You will also examine and investigate photovoltaic systems, wind farms and hydro-electric plants in terms of construction and operation mode, system design requirements and characteristics of turbine, generator and auxiliary equipment used for system installation and interconnection to the grid.
There is a definite ongoing need for highly qualified and skilled specialists in the renewable engineering field, and this program caters to that need. Upon completing this program, you will be able to show technical leadership in the field of renewable energy and be known as an advanced practitioner in the field.
Potential Job Outcomes
You could expect to gain employment in the following industries:
- Power generation
- Energy and environmental consultancies
- Local councils
- Energy market operator
- Energy efficiency and environmental consultancies
Potential job outcomes could include:
- Electrical Engineer/Senior Electrical Engineer
- Environmental Engineer
- Environmental Officer
- Project Manager
- Project Coordinator
- QA/QC Manager
- Sales Engineer
- Renewable Energy Consultant
REQUIREMENTS
This is an advanced program designed for individuals who may already have a relevant undergraduate qualification or higher. If you lack this, you must show relevant and substantial experience in the subject area (subject to the approval of the Dean) combined with evidence of continuing professional development. The program involves depth and complexity in varied specialized contexts.
Applicants must have completed at least a 3-year Bachelor degree in engineering, science or technology or equivalent in a related field; OR
An applicant with other tertiary qualifications with relevant vocational practice in an engineering related role may be considered for entry as judged by the admissions committee: OR
At least 3 years’ work experience in engineering, science or technology field (the applicant would be required to submit other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates the potential to pursue graduate studies).
AND
Satisfactory English language proficiency at an English pass level in a Senior Certificate of Education or equivalent; OR
A specified level of achievement in a recognized English language test such as IELTS (or equivalent) at a score of at least 6.0 (with no individual band score less than 5.5); OR
Satisfactory completion of another course offered by EIT, or delivered by another tertiary institution in English.
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.
