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.
A key area of industrial engineering is safety system design. The Graduate Certificate in Industrial Instrumentation and Safety Systems covers knowledge and skills underpinning the fundamentals of programmable controllers used in industrial automation as well as gain perspective on the applicable regulatory and standards framework for a range of industry sectors, required for verifying and assure Safety Instrumented Systems performance across the safety life cycle in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
The learning outcomes of the course are designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to model solutions to Engineering problems related to designing a typical process instrumentation system by using graphical symbols and numbering codes in accordance with International Standards as well as address the issues in designing and specifying safety control systems for an industrial process control application.
