What will I learn?

The Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Industrial Automation) program offers eight core units that address the growth and new technologies in the industrial automation industry. What will I learn/gain:Advanced technical knowledge in industrial automation engineeringPractical guidance from automation engineering experts from around the worldGlobal networking contacts in academia and industryImproved career optionsAfter a review of the fundamentals, you will investigate in-depth principles of operation of programmable controllers, instrumentation, networking, and program control strategies.Develop advanced knowledge of process identification and feedback control design and a broad understanding of the hardware, system architectures, networking protocols and software techniques widely used to evaluate and implement complex control solutions.Use key features of widely used measurement techniques and transducers combined with microprocessor devices to determine how to apply robust and reliable industrial instruments in the context of real-world applications.Refine your business knowledge and communication skills and add technical knowledge necessary to lead engineering teams and execute complex solutions.Refine the requisite knowledge to manage, design and troubleshoot components within modern field buses, industrial wireless systems as well as Industry 4.0 networks.In the last unit you’ll investigate the common safety philosophy of hazard identification, risk management and risk-based design of protection methods and functional safety systems, all within the automation space.There is a global shortage of automation, instrumentation, and control engineers due to the rapid growth of new industries and technologies. This program equips students with core competencies and the associated knowledge and aptitudes required of engineers working with automation. Students from a background in electrical, electronics, mechanical, instrumentation & control, or industrial computer systems engineering would benefit from this program as it prepares them to further develop their skills in the automation space within the process and manufacturing industries.
