Course description
Graduate Certificate in Process and Thermal Engineering
The Graduate Certificate in Process and Thermal Engineering is a postgraduate qualification that includes masters level units as part of the program. This Graduate Certificate will provide you with an opportunity to design, test and work with pumps, compressor, turbines, heat exchangers, industrial gas turbines and process engineering technologies in the context of mechanical engineering.
It offers an opportunity for industry professionals in the field to enhance their knowledge and skills in process and thermal engineering without having to complete a full Master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
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
- Heat Transfer
- Pumps, Compressors, Turbines and Drives
- Process Engineering
- Industrial Gas Turbines
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.
One of the key challenges in the 21st century for the engineering industry is energy with thermal and process engineering being a key area supporting overcoming these challenges. The Graduate Certificate in Process and Thermal Engineering covers knowledge and skills underpinning energy storage, transfer, and conversion. This certificate will also prepare you to understand, analyze and evaluate the application of various pumps, industrial gas turbines, heat exchangers, compressors, turbines, and drives used in oil & gas, mining, and minerals processing industries.
The learning outcomes of the course are designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to formulate the models necessary to study, analyze, and design thermal systems through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice in a practical real-world application.
