Course description
Graduate Certificate in Chemical and Process Engineering
The Graduate Certificate in Chemical and Process Engineering is a postgraduate qualification that includes masters level units as part of the program. This Graduate Certificate will enable you to gain in-depth understanding of key concepts of thermodynamics, mass transfer and heat transfer principles, fluid transport phenomena, process dynamics and control systems. It offers an opportunity for industry professionals in the field to enhance their knowledge and skills in chemical and process engineering without having to complete a full Master’s degree.
Upon completion of this graduate certificate, graduates will be able to identify, analyze and apply advanced knowledge of the process and phenomena related to mass transfer and associate separation processes. Graduates will also be able to identify, analyze and apply advanced knowledge in thermodynamics and heat transfer applications with sound engineering judgement of solutions relevant to the Professional engineering domain.
Who should attend?
- Hold a recognized bachelor degree (or above) in engineering or science in a congruent field of practice*,
- Have completed the equivalent of first-year Bachelor level mathematics, or are able to demonstrate recognized relevant work experience.
- Have an appropriate level of English Language Proficiency at 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.
Training content
- Mass Transfer and Separation Process
- Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
- Transport Phenomena and Fluid Flow
- Process Dynamics and Control
Course delivery details
Our graduate certificates take six months to complete. We deliver our online graduate certificates on a part-time intensive basis. Part-time Students are expected to spend approximately 10-15 hours per week per unit learning the program material and completing assessments. This includes attending tutorials.
Today’s world relies heavily on Chemical and Process Engineering, from energy & oil industries to pharmaceuticals & biotechnology. The Graduate Certificate in Chemical and Process Engineering covers knowledge and skills underpinning processes and phenomena related to mass transfer and associated separation processes and equipment, thermodynamics and heat transfer applications heating and cooling systems, multi-phase flow, and solid transportation. This certificate will also prepare you with the requisite knowledge to comprehend, manage, and resolve issues within detailed process dynamics and control systems.
The learning outcomes of the course is designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to identify, analyze and apply advanced knowledge in process and phenomena related to mass transfer and associate separation processes and heat transfer applications with sound engineering judgment of solutions relevant to the Professional engineering domain through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice.
