Railways were invented in Britain over 200 years ago, and it is difficult to overstate the fundamental and critically important role they have played in the development of nations, the progress of wars, and the prosperity of peoples the world over. Railways tend to be divided into two segments: above rail (ie trains, rollingstock, wagons) and below rail (ie railway tracks). The two segments interact closely in the development and transmission of complex dynamic forces into the earth beneath the tracks. As a track engineer it’s vital that you know what the components are in modern rail tracks, their role, how they perform, the influence of their manufacture, and their interaction with the trains passing over them. For this purpose in your railway course the first subject you encounter is Fundamentals of Track Engineering, in which you learn these rudiments of track and its behaviour. This subject is essential to your progress through the course and you must successfully complete this subject before you can tackle subjects dealing with issues such as track design, track defects, track maintenance, etc.

This hands-on course introduces you to the engineering design process. It does this by combining two complementary strands. The first strand provides you with opportunities to solve engineering design problems and to recognise the roles that systems thinking, innovation and creativity play in the design process. It will also develop your visual communication skills such as understanding and producing 3D engineering models and 2D engineering drawings using SOLIDWORKS. The second strand continues your ongoing development of the core skills, and personal and professional attributes you will need to work effectively as a professional engineer in diverse domestic and global contexts. These include building your body of knowledge, applying engineering design principles, working collaboratively, reflecting in professional contexts and communicating orally and in writing. This aspect of the course also includes the important role of ethics in engineering and giving and receiving constructive feedback as part of a diverse team.UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to up-skill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree. Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you.

This course aims to give you a fundamental understanding of the relationship between chemistry and material properties and processing. You’ll also develop problem-solving and technical writing skills.Materials are important aspects of any engineering design. When designing or improving a product, one of the first things to consider is the material itself. The main aim of Materials Engineering is to make new materials and improve existing ones.Materials engineering includes the application of knowledge from applied physics, chemistry, and chemical, mechanical, and civil engineering. The knowledge of materials engineering is applicable in a wide range of emerging fields including additive manufacturing, nanotechnology, biomedical materials, electronic materials, recycling and energy generation, the development of lightweight metal alloys, and in traditional industries such as metallurgy and mining. These industries always look for engineers with exposure to a range of materials and materials engineering concepts – from materials processing (including metals and minerals) through various manufacturing, biomedical and processing industries.UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree. Delivered 100% online, you’ll be able to study where and when it suits you.
