COURSE DESCRIPTION
This Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Civil: Structural) addresses specific core competencies and associated underpinning knowledge required of structural engineers.
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 and developing technologies in civil: structural engineering
Practical guidance from civil and structural engineering experts from around the world
Global networking contacts in academia and industry
Improved career options
You will learn advanced techniques in structural analysis and design methods
You will develop your knowledge to investigate and recommend appropriate engineering materials
You will investigate advanced topics in reinforced concrete and in steel design, using an integrated approach to the design of standard structural systems.
The program covers 8 core units that cover a diverse range of topics geared to producing well-rounded graduates equipped with the knowledge that employers require. Students with a background in civil, construction, transport, and infrastructure engineering will especially benefit from this program as it prepares them for further career development in the structural engineering industry.
Potential job roles include engineering and management positions in the following areas of expertise:
Civil engineering
Construction engineering
Structural engineering
Transport engineering
Urban engineering
Infrastructure engineering
Project engineering
Civil: structural project management and business development
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

Project Engineering
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.
