Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Civil Engineering Design)
Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
About
The Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology enables you to gain basic knowledge and hands-on technical skills in preparation for employment in the field of Civil Engineering Design.The graduates of this qualification at RMIT University will be able to:recall and apply engineering and scientific principles in designing mechanical, civil and manufacturing engineering applications based on a well-founded specialist knowledge domain analyse, diagnose, design and execute judgments with respect to mechanical, civil construction and manufacturing solutions that have a basis in engineering technology prepare a brief on technical solutions and concepts with options for various engineering environments and contexts integrate and solve interfacing problems between disparate technical or engineering systems manage complex projects on time and within budget manage autonomously a range of technical objectives within organisations that have outputs based on engineering application.This program is available for on-campus study.

Entry requirements
Current Year 12 students —there are no prerequisite studies.
Non-Year 12 applicants are encouraged to apply and may be required to have relevant employment or evidence of experience and/or ability to meet the demands of the program.
If candidates have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (e.g. through prior paid or voluntary work experience), they can be assessed and have these skills and knowledge formally recognised at any point during the program. There is information on the RMIT University website about the application process for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – refer to: http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit
RMIT understands that people’s backgrounds and circumstances can affect their access to education and training. RMIT’s equity admissions schemes allow applicants to explain the circumstances that have adversely affected their education, and demonstrate their capacity for future academic success. All of the Advanced Diplomas offer entry through the SNAP and SEAS pathways that identify students in specific disadvantaged categories.
Learning outcomes
This nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET) qualification is competency-based.This means that it is designed to enable you to develop the practical skills and knowledge (competency) needed to perform the duties and tasks in the job you are training for. Assessment in a competency-based program is about being able to demonstrate that you have developed these practical skills and areas of knowledge,and that you can perform at the standard required in the job. This could involve showing an assessor how you plan and carry out tasks, and explaining to the assessor how you know what you are doing. It could also involve completing a project and presenting a report on the process and outcomes. If you are working, your work supervisor may provide the assessor with a report on your competency.
If you have already developed areas of skill and knowledge included in this program (e.g. through prior paid or voluntary work experience), you can be assessed and have these skills and knowledge formally recognised at any point during the program. There is information on the RMIT website about how to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – refer to http://www.rmit.edu.au/students/enrolment/credit
