This course qualifies individuals who apply a body of knowledge in a range of contexts to undertake professional work and provides a pathway for further learning in engineering. Students with a bachelor's degree in a non-engineering field, who are professionals in fields related to engineering and are interested in pursuing engineering at postgraduate level, can apply to this course. All applications are assessed individually and the course structure is tailor-made based on the basic qualifications that students possess. Candidates without a degree, but who have a TAFE diploma or equivalent in engineering and with significant related work experience, may also apply for this course.

This course allows professionals who are currently employed, or would like to pursue employment in engineering organisations, to understand and gain advantage in securing and retaining employment.
