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.
