Program focus

The Diploma of Engineering and Spatial Science Foundations initially equips students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the numeracy, literacy, and e-literacy demands of both higher education studies and the professional workplace, as well as assisting students to successfully manage the complexities of life/work balance. The diploma program then provides you with a broad introduction to engineering as a science and profession, and the concepts of systems and real world teamwork. Problem solving skills and foundation level mathematical and physics competencies are developed. The program should appeal to those who want to enhance and develop their broad study skills prior to sampling a range of engineering courses in order to determine whether to embark on a more specialised associate degree program from the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying.

Career opportunities

Support for professionals and paraprofessionals working in Engineering and Surveying organisations. Entry level qualifications providing a pathway to further studies and career progression.

Program aims

The principal aim of this program is to equip students with the necessary skills to successfully respond to the numeracy, literacy, and e-literacy demands of both higher education studies and the professional workplace, as well as assisting students to successfully manage the complexities of life/work balance. The diploma program provides students with a broad introduction to engineering and spatial science as a science and profession, and the concepts of systems and real world teamwork. Problem solving skills, and advanced mathematical and physics competencies are developed and the program will appeal to those who want to enhance and develop their broad study skills prior to sampling a range of engineering and spatial science courses in order to determine whether to embark on a more specialised associate degree program from the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying.

Program objectives

On the successful completion of the Diploma of Engineering and Spatial Science Foundations graduates will have:

• demonstrated an ability to successfully pursue an associate degree program of study in the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying

• acquired sufficient knowledge about engineering and surveying programs of study to make an informed choice about further undergraduate study in the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying

• developed an enhanced awareness of the nature of study in the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying

• developed foundation engineering knowledge, skills and competencies in a series of first year engineering and surveying associate degree courses
