Program Details

One of the key challenges in the 21st century for the engineering industry is energy with thermal and process engineering being a key area supporting to overcome these challenges. The Graduate Certificate in Process and Thermal Engineering covers knowledge and skills underpinning energy storage, transfer and conversion. This certificate will also prepare you to understand, analyze and evaluate application of various pumps, industrial gas turbines, heat exchangers, compressors, turbines and drives used in oil & gas, mining, and minerals processing industries.     

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 thermal systems through the application of these concepts, and to develop the problem-solving skills essential to good engineering practice 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).

Unit Code Subjects Credit Points
MME502 Heat Transfer 3
MME504 Pumps, Compressors, Turbines and Drives 3
MME505 Process Engineering 3
MME508 Industrial Gas Turbines 3

Graduates will be able to work in a wide range of manufacturing, asset management, contract management, plant operations, mechanical design, commissioning, consultation, industrial operation, supervision and maintenance, project management, and process industries in mid to senior-level roles.
