This Graduate Certificate in CAD and Computational Techniques will provide you with an opportunity to develop your expertise in Computer Aided design (CAD), analyze problems related to fluid dynamics and aerodynamics; apply finite element method to analyze fluid flow, thermal and structural engineering systems.
It offers an opportunity for industry professionals in the field to enhance their knowledge and skills in CAD and Computational Techniques without having to complete a full Master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Computational methods are at the forefront of industrial evolution, particularly in mechanical and manufacturing engineering. The Graduate Certificate in CAD and Computational Techniques covers knowledge and skills underpinning finite element method, advanced fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. This certificate will also prepare you to use CAD to design innovative and efficient engineering solutions.
The learning outcomes of the course is designed to equip students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to formulate the models necessary to study, analyze, and design efficient engineering systems through the application of these concepts, communicate the solutions effectively and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice.
You must complete 12 credit points comprising four core units. There are no electives in this program. The program duration is six months across two terms, and you will study two units per term. For further study, graduates may consider EIT’s Master of Engineering (Mechanical).
