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 Health, Engineering and Sciences.

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 Health, Engineering and Sciences

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

• developed an enhanced awareness of the nature of study in the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences

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

Admission requirements

There is no specified minimum educational achievement entrance standard.

Normally, to be eligible for enrolment in the program a person will have attained an age of at least 18 years in the year of the proposed enrolment.

Students will need to complete the online application form for entry to the Diploma Programs. All applicants are required to complete online diagnostic tests in Mathematics, e-literacy, and English Communication Skills. Applicants will then be given advice detailing whether the Diploma Program is the most appropriate pathway for them to undertake. Some students may be advised to undertake the Tertiary Preparation Program .

Domestic and International Applicants from a non-English speaking background are required to satisfy .

If you do not meet the English language requirements you may apply to study a 精东传媒app-approved . On successful completion of the English language program, Applicants may be admitted to an Award Program.

Program structure

This program consists of four core courses followed by four courses of specialisation in Engineering and/or Spatial Science. Students must successfully complete the four core courses before they will be enrolled in the four courses of specialisation.

Core courses

There are four compulsory courses:

and are co-requisites: they must be studied together, and they must be the first courses undertaken.

For part-time students, and must be studied after and . All four courses can be taken in a single semester for those pursuing full-time studies.

Foundation Studies in Engineering and Spatial Sciences courses

After completing the four compulsory courses students can select four courses from the following selection:

To maximise future credit and articulation into an Associate Degree program in the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences, students should choose courses that are relevant to that Associate Degree program.

Program completion requirements

To successfully complete the Diploma of Engineering and Spatial Science Foundations students must successfully complete the four compulsory core courses, and also four courses of specialisation.

Required time limits

Students have a maximum of three years to complete this program.

IT requirements
