COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical) will provide you with the requisite skills in mechanical engineering technology and maintenance to take advantage of the growing demands of the industry.
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:
Advanced skills and knowledge in the latest developing technologies in mechanical engineering
Practical guidance from mechanical engineering experts from around the world
Global networking contacts in academia and industry
Evaluate theory and applications of materials, hydraulics, pneumatics, drives, pumps and compressors
Analyze and implement heat transfer and fluid dynamic concepts within process engineering
Assess and demonstrate knowledge of concepts in advanced fluid dynamics, design appropriate systems, and refine problem-solving skills applicable to real-world applications.
Refine your business knowledge and communication skills and add technical knowledge necessary to lead engineering teams and execute complex solutions.
In the last unit you’ll examine gas turbines at an advanced level, considering aspects such as expected reliability level, financial considerations and environmental effects.
Program Details

REQUIREMENTS
To gain entry into Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Mechanical), 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 Mechanical Engineering content (fields not listed below to be considered by the Dean and the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis):
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical and Material Systems
Mechatronic Systems
Production Engineering
Robotics
Manufacturing and Management Systems

Instrumentation, Control, and Automation
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.
