Study On Demand – this is a 100% online engineering qualification designed specifically for online learning. With UniSA Online, you can take full control over your study, access support seven days a week, plan your study to fit around your life, view learning resources 24/7, and log into the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device.Graduate with the skills to transition from tradesperson to engineering professional with the knowledge and skills required in higher-level technical and management roles. Your qualification is also a great starting point if you’re looking to change careers and enter the engineering industry for the first time.This two-year qualification is an introduction to university-level study and is a pathway towards UniSA’s Bachelor of Engineering degrees, which has specialisations in civil, mechanical, mechatronics, electrical engineering and/or surveying. Depending on the combination of courses you choose, you could be eligible for up to 1.5 years of credit towards an Engineering (Honours) Bachelor degree with UniSA. Alternatively, you may choose to go directly into employment as an engineering associate, designer drafter, developer or engineering technical officer across a range of industries.

Learn core engineering concepts and essential maths, physics and chemistry. Combine those with key business management skills, and you’ll be ready to enter the engineering industry, or transition from a trade to a technical or management role.

Associate Degree in Engineering

Are you curious about our world and what makes it work? Do you want to help find solutions to complex problems? This degree will prepare you to solve humanity&#39;s biggest challenges as a civil or mechanical engineer.The Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours) is designed to meet the requirements for accreditation at the level of Professional Engineer by Engineers Australia. The course is structured around 16 key competencies identified by Engineers Australia as being essential to the graduating engineer, which are broadly grouped into knowledge and skills, application, personal and professional skills.Foundational core units build knowledge of the basic sciences, practical skills and the processes and philosophy that underpin the engineering profession. You’ll then choose a specialisation to build discipline knowledge and technical skills with a strong emphasis on project-based learning. This will determine your career outcomes as you develop expertise in an area of engineering practice - either civil or mechanical engineering.The final year of the course contains a mixture of advanced core units and advanced discipline-specific units that are designed to build skills in independent investigation, critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and ethical and professional behaviour. You&#39;ll also complete 60 days of professional placement in the industry during your studies, ensuring you are ready to hit the ground running as a graduate.

This engineering degree unpacks the maths and science engineers need to solve complex engineering problems. Choose to specialise in civil or mechanical engineering. 60 days of industry placement develops your professional conduct and judgement.

Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours)

Duration: 5 years full-time; 10 years part-time.This double degree provides graduates with a thorough understanding of contemporary, responsible business practices, and the critical role technology plays in supporting robust business functions, as well as the technical ability to build infrastructure and systems. The course produces industry-ready professional engineers with the skills, capabilities and attributes needed to analyse and create solutions for complex engineering systems. Students choose either a Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering specialisation to develop their expertise in a field of practice. Students also choose a business-focused major from a range of subjects.A practical placement in a relevant engineering environment rounds out the student experience, with the option to also complete a professional placement in a business environment. Graduates have a skill set to pursue careers across the engineering and business spectrum, as professional engineers with management and business capabilities or as entrepreneurs capable of running their own engineering business.

A double degree in engineering and business. You’ll choose either a civil or mechanical engineering specialisation plus a business major. With business capabilities added to your professional engineer’s toolkit, you can unlock a higher earning potential.

Engineering Design and Innovation

Engineering Materials

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. Access online academic and student support seven days a week, fit study around work and life commitments, view learning resources 24/7, and log in to the interactive online environment anywhere, any time and on any device.This is a course from UniSA Online’s Associate Degree in Engineering.Should your course have an exam it will be scheduled for Australian Central Standard Time or Australian Central Daylight Time, depending on the time of the year.

Visualise your engineering projects on-screen. Harness your creativity. Build your problem-solving and critical thinking skills. You’ll work through the engineering design process to end up with 3D models and 2D drawings.

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.

Lay the foundations of an engineering career in manufacturing, nanotechnology, biomedical materials, electronic materials, recycling, energy generation and more. Over ten weeks, you’ll learn about improving and making new materials.

This subject gives students an understanding of the functional purpose of the machinery systems used on board a variety of ships. This knowledge can then be applied to obtaining effective engineering design solutions for these systems, so that they can meet their functional purposes within national and international statutory and regulatory frameworks.
