Associate Degree of Engineering
Swinburne University of Technology
About
The Associate Degree of Engineering is a broad-based point of entry into employment as an associate engineer and offers students the chance to move into study at undergraduate level.
Students complete a combination of undergraduate and vocational units.
Undergraduate units are the same as those taught in Bachelor of Engineering degrees, but this course offers smaller class sizes and more contact hours to provide students with more individual support.
Structure
The Swinburne Associate Degree of Engineering is designed to prepare students for the profession as a para-professional engineer, as well as provide a pathway for graduates to articulate into a four-year undergraduate engineering degree course.
To qualify for the award of Associate Degree of Engineering, students must complete 200 credit points comprising of:
The Associate Degree of Engineering consists of 200 credit points. Units normally carry 12.5 credit points. A standard annual full time load comprises of 100 credit points and a part-time load comprises of 50 credit points. The volume of learning of the Associate Degree of Engineering is typically 2 years.
