Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Electrical

The Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Electrical provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to evaluate, design, update and implement industrial automation systems to a technical and pre-degree level.

The Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology - Electrical is designed to provide learners with the essential knowledge and associated skills to design, install, commission, fault find and maintain industrial control systems, robots and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.

International students in Australia who hold student visas are required to study full-time and on campus. Courses that are taught entirely online are only available to international students studying outside Australia or those in Australia who are not on a student visa. Online courses are not available to international students in Australia who hold a student visa.

This course is delivered in a combination of face-to-face, workshops, tutorials, lectures, and online activities. It is comprised of 28 core units and 13 elective units.
