WHAT YOU WILL GAIN:

INTRODUCTION

Gain strong underpinning knowledge and expertise in Industrial Automation covering a wide range of skills ranging from instrumentation, automation and process control, industrial data communications, process plant layout, project and financial management and chemical engineering with a strong practical focus. Industrial Automation is an extremely fast moving area especially compared to the more traditional areas such as electrical and mechanical engineering. The field is diverse and dynamic and offers the opportunity for a well paid and enjoyable career. The aim of the course is to empower you with practical knowledge that will improve your productivity in the area and make you stand out as a leader in industrial automation amongst your peers.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who wants to gain solid knowledge of the key elements of industrial automation to improve their work skills and to further their job prospects:
 
Even those who are highly experienced in industrial automation may find it useful to attend some of the topics to gain know-how in a very concentrated but practical format.
 

COURSE STRUCTURE

The course is composed of 72 topics, within 21 modules. These cover the following seven engineering threads to provide you with maximum practical coverage in the field of industrial automation.
 
The modules will be completed in the following order:
 

Presentation Format

The programme features real-world applications and uses a multi-pronged approach involving interactive on-line webcasts, simulation software and self-study assignments with a mentor on call. The course consists of 72 topics delivered over a period of 18 months. Presentations and group discussions will be conducted using a live, interactive software system. For each topic you will have an initial reading assignment (which will be delivered to you in electronic format in advance of the online presentations). There will be coursework or problems to be submitted and in some cases there will be practical exercises, using simulation software and remote labs that you can easily do from your home or office. You will have ongoing support from the instructors via phone, fax and e-mail.
 

Live Webcasts

During the programme you will participate in 72 live interactive sessions/webcasts with the instructors and other participants from around the world. Each webcast will be scheduled at 2 varying session times, so that you can select the one which is most convenient to you. Webcast times are only finalised after registrations close, as we need to know which time-zones all participants are based in before we can compile a schedule. Upon registration you will receive a questionnaire regarding your time availability. We guarantee that at least one session time, for each webcast, will fall into your preferred time slot.
 

Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories

As part of the groundbreaking new way of teaching, we will be using a series of remote laboratories (labs) and simulation software, to facilitate your learning and to test the knowledge you gain during the course. These involve complete working labs set up at various locations of the world into which you will be able to log and proceed through the various practical sessions. These will be supplemented by simulation software, running either remotely or on your computer, to ensure you gain the requisite handson experience. No one can learn much solely from lectures, the labs and simulation software are designed to increase the absorption of the materials and to give you a practical orientation of the learning experience. All this will give you a solid, practical exposure to the key principles covered in the course and will Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories ensure that you obtain maximum benefit from the course to succeed in your future career in Industrial Automation.

**A note regarding recognition of this course in the Australian education system: The EIT is the owner of this course, which is officially accredited within the Australian Qualifications Framework by the Training Accreditation Council. An application has been submitted to the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) for this course to be re-registered for delivery by the EIT (that is, added to the EIT’s “scope”) in all Australian states. Course registration in Australia lasts 3 years before the need for renewal. The course has previously been in the EIT’s scope, we are simply awaiting re-registration. The EIT will deliver this course to students worldwide. On the date when the course information shown here was published the application to ASQA was pending, therefore the course commencement date is provisional pending formal registration with ASQA.
