Graduate Certificate in Industrial Automation Engineering

This graduate certificate is inspired and driven by industry, with a strong theoretical underpinning. Concept relevance and knowledge that is critical in this fast-moving work environment has propelled the program design process. Upon completion of this program, you will gain skills and expertise in the latest developing technologies in instrumentation, process control, and industrial automation.

There is a global shortage of automation, instrumentation, and control engineers. Due to the rapid growth of new industries and technologies, industrial processes are becoming increasingly automated. Previously mechanized systems that required human intervention now use computerized control systems for higher accuracy, precision, and cost-effectiveness.

Industrial automation is one of those expanding streams of engineering with an increasingly profound influence on most industries and enterprises. This graduate certificate will provide you with advanced skills in Industrial Automation. Students with a background in electrical, mechanical, instrumentation and control, or industrial computer systems engineering can benefit from this program.

The content has been carefully designed to provide you with relevant concepts and the tools required in today’s fast-moving work environment. Our Programmable Logic Controllers unit covers in-depth principles of operation of PLCs, networking, distributed controllers, and program control strategies. The unit on industrial process control systems combines the process identification and feedback control design with a broad understanding of the hardware, system architectures, and software techniques widely used to evaluate and implement complex control solutions.

Our industrial instrumentation unit identifies key features of widely used measurement techniques and transducers combined with microprocessor devices to create robust and reliable industrial instruments. Undertaking process engineering will enable you to evaluate and apply complex process calculations through the application of control principles.

Job Opportunity Potential

At EIT, we pride ourselves on being supportive, agile, flexible and committed to providing students throughout the world with measurable and significant productivity gains in their workplace through cutting edge and applied engineering education

Current Vacancies

Developer/Systems Administrator

The role consists of the development, support, and management of EIT’s digital suite. You will be an energetic and enthusiastic individual, working directly with a great technical team based in Perth and the Philippines, but will be required to interface with people globally. EIT’s product offerings are constantly evolving; therefore, it is important to be aware of current development trends globally to ensure that the implementations are well revised.  

Compliance Officer

Reporting to the Accreditation & Compliance Manager, this role has responsibility for coordinating and maintaining the quality assurance and compliance status of the RTO and HEP (Higher Education Provider).

Your success will be underpinned by your deep understanding of key RTO and HEP principles, an ability to synthesise and craft readable documents such as policies, and your ability to build effective relationships and negotiate desired outcomes to achieve EIT’s objectives.  We are looking for demonstrated experience in doing this type of work.

Instructors & Lecturers

The Engineering Institute of Technology offers outstanding practical engineering and technology education; from Professional Certificates of Competency through to Masters Degrees. We are currently seeking engineering lecturers and instructors, with extensive experience in industry to deliver units in our Professional Certificate of Competency, Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Degree and Masters online courses and programs.   EIT’s programs are taught using unique synchronous, online technologies including live interactive sessions over the internet, combined with practical exercises completed using remote laboratories and simulation software. 

Successful candidates will need to demonstrate an established industry profile, a commitment to excellence and ideally have teaching experience. You can be located anywhere as instructors and lecturers will be required to deliver online via webinars (approximately 1 hour in length). The Engineering Institute of Technology will provide all course material. You will simply require a computer with reliable internet connection, a headset with a high quality microphone and a clear and enthusiastic speaking voice. You may be required to teach outside of standard business hours.

PSW Opportunity

PSW for bachelors and masters is 2yrs

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Applicants require a recognized bachelor degree (or above) in engineering or science in a congruent field of practice**, with the completion of the equivalent of first-year Bachelor level mathematics, or recognized relevant work experience.

Those without a recognized Bachelor degree in a relevant discipline of engineering or science are required to demonstrate their prior learning and experience is equivalent to this qualification (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant are to be decided by each specialization and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the EIT Admissions Committee) ***.

All applicants must have evidence of engineering exposure in their degree and/or work experience.

Students via the work experience pathway may be required to undertake additional diagnostic mathematics testing. AND

An appropriate level of English Language Proficiency at an English pass level in an Australian Senior Certificate of Education, or an IELTS score of 6.0 (with no individual band less than 6.0)****, or equivalent as outlined in the EIT Admissions Policy.

Congruent field of practice means one of the following with adequate Civil Engineering content (fields not listed below to be considered by the Dean and the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis):

  • Civil Engineering
  • Construction Engineering
  • Transport Engineering
  • Urban Engineering
  • Material Systems
  • Project Engineering

Applicants who enter and complete this qualification without holding a prior Bachelor’s Degree and go on to complete an EIT Masters Degree may not be eligible for Engineers Australia recognition. However, students can lodge a personal application with Engineers Australia to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Applicants may have a maximum of one individual band of 5.5 and be granted entry subject to the provision of English language support by EIT.

Maths Bridging Test
A proctored/invigilated maths bridging test is to be completed by all higher education students during orientation week. If you fail the initial test, you must complete EIT’s three-week online bridging course and then retake the test. If you fail again, you will be considered a student at risk and managed as per EIT’s Student at Risk Policy.

Please note: meeting the minimum admission criteria does not guarantee entry to our programs. Applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis
