Engineering Foundations

Overview

The Engineering Foundations , Certificate from the Engineering Institute of Technology is specifically designed to provide a foundational skill set that is useful and applicable to almost every engineering discipline in the world, including mechanical, electrical, civil, construction, mechatronics, agricultural, marine, aeronautical, automotive, and many more.

With this qualification, you will have acquired the foundational knowledge which underpins wide variety of fields of engineering.

Engineers are responsible for designing new systems and solving problems for a wide range of fields like mining, oil and gas, construction, power generation, manufacturing, automotive, marine and agriculture. Upon completion of this undergraduate certificate, you will have fundamental knowledge, skills, and understanding of these foundational engineering subjects. You will be able to apply fundamental principles of mathematics, design, drawing, physics, chemistry, and engineering programming. You will be able to demonstrate scientific, mathematical, contextual factors and design practice knowledge that has been contextualized for engineering applications.

Career opportunities:

• Students who have an undergraduate certificate in engineering foundations are able to enhance their ability and knowledge in the engineering field, enabling them to further their engineering pathway.
• Graduates will be able to undertake work in a wide range of manufacturing, renewable, power, industrial, mechanical, civil, chemical, military, mineral process and mining industries in junior, technical support or entry level role.

Further study pathway with EIT would be the Bachelor of Science (Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Automation, Civil and Structural Engineering) -> Master of Engineering (Electrical Systems, Mechanical, Civil and Structural or Industrial Automation) -> Doctor of Engineering

Accreditation

EIT programs are accredited by the exacting standards of the Australian Government’s Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).
