Diploma of Engineering

The Diploma of Engineering is your first step toward specialisations in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineering programs. With the skills you develop during your diploma studies at SIBT, you will be able to think logically, analyse problems and explore creative solutions to real world challenges. Graduates of the Diploma of Engineering will be qualified to gain entry level engineering technician positions using the practical and communication skills which they have acquired whilst studying at SIBT. Graduates are also able to articulate into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering.

The course can be completed over two or three sessions. Students commencing from Session 1, 2020 will study 8 core units in total from the list below.

Core units

• COMM103 Writing and Research for Science and Engineering
• ENGN120 Materials Science and Engineering 
• MATH099 Foundations of Mathematics OR MATH100 Mathematics A*
• ENGN130 Computing for Engineers 
• MATH100 Mathematics A OR  MATH101 Mathematics B
• ENGN110 Principles of Electric Circuits 
• ENGN101 Physics
• ENGN150 Fundamentals of Engineering Studies

Our friendly Student Advisors will help you to choose the most appropriate elective units for your program.

*You will be required to undertake a Maths Readiness Test prior to finalising enrolment. The Readiness Test
will determine if you will need to take an additional support maths program and which maths unit you will
study in Session 1.

Assumed knowledge
