This Graduate Certificate course in Civil Engineering (Structural Performance, Monitoring and Management) will enable you to gain in-depth understanding of key concepts of advanced engineering materials, structural design, refurbishment and failure analysis.
You will also develop your professional skills in project, design and construction management.
Please see our Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering: (Structural Analysis and Design) as an alternative. This course is available and the next intake date is shown on the linked page.
Structural analysis, performance, monitoring and management is a rapidly growing area of interest in the civil construction engineering industry. The Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering (Structural Performance, Monitoring and Management) provides specialist knowledge and skills in advanced engineering materials underpinned by theoretical and applied industry practice. You will also develop advanced knowledge and skills in structural performance, condition assessment, fatigue assessment, address corrosion and durability issues.
The learning outcomes of the course is designed to cultivate critical thinking, creative problem solving, sound engineering judgement, communication and construction project management.
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 (Civil: Structural).
Unit Code | Subjects | Credit Points |
MCS502 | Advanced Engineering Materials | 3 |
MCS504 | Project, Design and Construction Management | 3 |
MCS603 | Earthquake Structural Design | 3 |
MCS604 | Structural Refurbishment and Structural Failure | 3 |
Applicants are required to:
Applicants who hold a bachelor’s degree in a non-congruent engineering field are required to demonstrate their prior learning and experience is equivalent to the entry requirements (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant are to be decided by each specialisation and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the EIT Admissions Committee).
Applicants who do not hold a recognized bachelor’s degree are required to demonstrate their prior learning and experience is equivalent to this qualification. A minimum of an Australian Advanced Diploma (or equivalent) in Engineering and 5 years of technical work experience at a technologist level or above in a relevant engineering field is required for an application to be considered (exact positions and roles that will be considered relevant are to be decided by each specialization and will be considered on a case-by-case basis by the EIT Admissions Committee) ***
Please note:
*Congruent field of practice means one of the following with adequate Civil Engineering content (fields not listed below to be considered by the Dean and the Admissions Committee on a case-by-case basis):
**Applicants may have a maximum of one individual band of 5.5 and be granted entry subject to the provision of English language support by EIT
*** Applicants who enter and complete this qualification without holding a prior Bachelor’s Degree and go on to complete an EIT Master’s Degree may not be eligible for Engineers Australia recognition. However, students can lodge a personal application with Engineers Australia to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

As a graduate from this course, you have increased employability in the areas of structural engineering, construction engineering, civil engineering and project management.
Our graduate certificates take six months to complete. We deliver our online graduate certificates on a part-time intensive basis. Part-time Students are expected to spend approximately 10-15 hours per week per unit learning the program material and completing assessments. This includes attending tutorials.
Applications are open for both our upcoming intakes. You must submit your application at least four weeks prior to the start date to be considered for your desired intake.
A census date is the date at which an enrolment is considered to be final. Any withdrawal you make after the study period census date will incur an academic penalty (for example, a fail grade) and a financial penalty (for example, no refund of your student contribution or tuition fees). See our current census dates.
Any student has a right to appeal a decision of the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) or any member of the institute’s staff. EIT has a comprehensive Policy on Appeals and Grievances to assist students.
