AssocDeg of Engineering (Intelligent Machines)

The Associate Degree of Engineering is designed to meet the requirements for accreditation at the Engineering Associate level by Engineers Australia. The course is structured around 16 key competencies identified by Engineers Australia as being essential to the graduating engineer, which are broadly grouped into knowledge and skills, application, personal and professional skills. The course is suited to school leavers or those with a trade qualification who are looking to enter the civil construction or manufacturing and production industries in a supervisory, project management or technical role, or progress their careers in these industries to the next level. Foundational core units build knowledge of practical and technical skills, as well as and the processes and philosophy that underpin engineering systems. You’ll then choose a specialisation in Intelligent Machines to build additional knowledge and skills needed to perform technical roles in a range of engineering systems relevant to your specialisation. Finally, you'll complete project-based units that will develop your skills in critical thinking, creative problem solving and project management, and additionally complete a total of 30 days (240 hours) engagement with professional practice during your studies, ensuring you are ready to hit the ground running as a graduate. All students must complete ONE compulsory on-campus residential. It is typically conducted over 3 days and occurs in the first year (based on a full-time study program).
