Course summary

This course will provide students with a strong practical base as well as the theoretical foundation required for studying engineering at university level. Two fields of engineering will be offered; mechanical and electronic. The two year program will see students study university-type subjects while at Canberra Institute of Technology and provide graduates with the potential to progress to a Bachelor of Engineering degree at ANU. Successful completion of the Associate Degree, with at least a credit average across all courses at Canberra Institute of Technology and at least passes in ANU courses, will ordinarily guarantee students direct admission to ANU Bachelor of Engineering programs with 72 units of credit (equivalent to about 18 months of study). Canberra Institute of Technology and the Australian National University are offering a joint Associate Degree specializing in Engineering.
