Employment Type: Contractor
We are a college providing online engineering education and training. We are always on the lookout to introduce new and current engineering courses in our programs. This is a relatively simple job but requires someone with experience, background and interest in engineering education and training to benchmark what we have with new emerging and hot topics in the engineering domain.
We are looking for five researchers to source new course topics. The course topic proposed should be designed for a 12-week duration and take approximately 2 hours study per week. You will be provided with our existing course catalogue and you would then create lists of new potential courses. You need to ensure that your proposed courses don’t replicate what we already have in our course catalogue. Researching the description for a new course would take approximately 3 to 4 hours and will involve creating a two-page summary of the proposed courses (as per below). Plagiarised courses where the description is simply copied verbatim from other sites will NOT be accepted and will not be compensated for. The course descriptions need to be novel, practical and useful (i.e. not simplistic dross on how to use a hammer or theoretically advanced quantum mechanics).
You will be paid $A120 for every course you identify with the template below. If you are interested in preparing the course materials and resources – we will negotiate a mutually satisfactory fee which will obviously be considerably in excess of the identification fee and revolve around a target delivery date and agreed defined learning resources.

Professional Certificate of Competency in Chemical Engineering & Plant Design
Course Details
Process plants, such as refineries and petrochemical plants, are complex facilities consisting of equipment, piping systems, instruments, electrical systems, electronics, computers, and control systems. The design, engineering, and construction of process plants involve a multidisciplinary team effort.
Process design, plant layout, and design of piping systems constitute a significant part of the engineering effort. The objective is to design safe and dependable processing facilities cost-effectively.
This course provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills in the disciplines of chemical engineering and plant design to facilitate faster learning curves while on the job. Upon completion of this course, you will have a clear understanding of the design and engineering principles used in the design of process plants.
Benefits to you in doing the course
