About the Course
This course is offered to engineering technologists wishing to upgrade their qualifications within specific areas of engineering:

Civil Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Mechanical Engineering

The course combines coursework and project work to provide interest and challenge to students. Project work may be based in industry, providing opportunities to engage with potential future employers. In addition to the technical knowledge expected in a postgraduate course, there is an emphasis on the themes of sustainability, creativity, teamwork and leadership throughout the program.

The course includes a 12 week work experience component which ensures graduates are job ready and familiar with local engineering employment opportunities.

Admission Requirements

Admission to Charles Darwin University higher education coursework programs are received and processed by the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC). Detailed entry and special entry criteria for this course is published in the SATAC University Guide. Check out the following information about how to apply for undergraduate courses or how to apply for postgraduate courses.

Successful completion of a recognised Australian Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering Science or Bachelor of Engineering Technology, Bachelor of Technology or equivalent in Civil, Electrical and Electronics, Mechanical Engineering or an approved equivalent discipline.
