The Diploma of Engineering is a pathway for international students to Bachelor of Engineering courses at Victoria University. The course is designed to help you transfer into the second year of your chosen Bachelor of Engineering specialisation (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics, Architectural) or to apply for other bachelor level courses at VU or other universities. You'll learn foundation skills in mathematics, physics and problem-solving. With these basic technical skills, graduates of this course can begin entry level work in engineering fields or go on to further studies in engineering. Careers in engineering Graduates from the Diploma may find employment in areas where entry level positions require strong technical and problem solving skills. The course itself does not have any external professional accreditations. To gain professional accreditation from Engineers Australia students must complete an additional 3 years at the degree level. Pathways to further study On completion of this course you will be guaranteed entry into the following degrees and in some cases receive credit for your study: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Architectural Engineering) You will be credited for up to 96 credit points of study. Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil Engineering) You will be credited for up to 96 credit points of study. Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) You will be credited for up to 96 credit points of study. Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical Engineering) You will be credited for up to 96 credit points of study. Course structure To qualify for the award of Diploma of Engineering, a total of 96 credit points must be completed. Learning outcomes On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: Integrate fundamental knowledge in mathematics, physics, statistics and information technology within the engineering discipline; Investigate and solve basic engineering problems utilising the latest technologies; Adapt theoretical knowledge applicable to the discipline, for innovative and sustainable engineering practices; Exhibit a range interpersonal and academic skills with a strong focus on development practice in an independent or collaborative environment; Determine professional ethics and accountabilities of their engineering practice.
