COURSE DESCRIPTION
Mechanical engineering is the field of engineering that applies physics and the material sciences to develop machinery. Mechanical engineers use the principles of force, energy, and motion to improve the safety, efficiency, and technological advancement of the world around us. Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, you will acquire fundamental knowledge, skills, and understanding of the key core units of the mechanical engineering discipline. You will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors, and design practice knowledge that has been contextualized to engineering applications.
Program Details
Mechanical engineers are responsible for the design, manufacture, and operational processes of anything that moves, from the tiniest, simplest micro-particles to the largest, most complex spacecraft and everything in between. As a mechanical engineer, you have a skill set that is applicable to many industries in the world, including automotive, transport, manufacturing, power generation, medical, consumer goods, and more. Our undergraduate certificate provides you with cutting-edge skills that are valuable in the workplace.
With this qualification, you will have acquired the fundamental knowledge which underpins both this and other fields of engineering.
Program Structure
You must complete 12 credit points comprising four core units. There are no electives in this program. The full-time program duration is six months over 1 semester (or part-time equivalent). For further study, graduates may consider EIT’s Bachelor of Science (Mechanical Engineering).
Potential Job Outcomes
Potential job roles include engineering and management positions in the following areas of expertise:
Mechanical design and manufacturing
Material fabrication
Mechanical power
Thermal power and diesel
Mechanical engineering contracts, sales, commissioning and consultation
Building systems
Industrial operations and maintenance
Mechanical project management and business development
Automotive engineering
Acoustics
Fluid mechanics, hydraulics, pumps and piping
Lubrication
REQUIREMENTS
Entry is available to applicants who hold one of the following:
A Year 12 Australian Senior Certificate of Education (or equivalent for International Students), completed within the past 3 years, with a minimum score of 60% in Maths.
Applicants who have completed Year 12 (or equivalent for International Students) more than 3 years ago are required to also demonstrate 2 years of relevant work experience in the field of study applied for; OR
A relevant Engineering AQF Certificate IV (or equivalent overseas qualification) with successful completion of all Maths units/modules and 2 years relevant work experience in the field of study applied for; OR
An Engineering AQF Diploma (or higher) (or equivalent overseas qualification) with successful completion of all Maths units/modules.
English Language Proficiency Requirements:
Entry to this course requires demonstration of English language proficiency at the level of an IELTS overall score of at least 6.0 (with no individual band score less than 5.5).
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.
