This Graduate Certificate in Fluid Power Engineering will provide you with an opportunity to design, test and work with fluid dynamic principles, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, process engineering in the context of industrial applications of these mechanical engineering domains.
It offers an opportunity for industry professionals in the field to enhance their knowledge and skills in fluid power systems without having to complete a full Master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
Fluid power industry is one of the fastest growing engineering sectors today. The Graduate Certificate in Fluid Power Engineering covers knowledge and skills needed to work with process operations and fluid power systems. You will gain an in-depth understanding of industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems, including design optimization, operations, troubleshooting and maintenance. You will also understand, analyze and evaluate application of various pumps, compressors, turbines and drives used in oil & gas, mining, minerals processing industries.
The learning outcomes of the course are designed to equip the students with professional engineering skills and knowledge to formulate the models necessary to study, analyze, and design process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation diagrams and fluid systems through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice of fluid dynamics in practical real-world application.
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).
