Course Overview:	The Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering is used to qualify students for further graduate study in a area related to their previous engineering degree and to provide foundation studies for students who have an engineering degree and who want to expand or update their knowledge. It is particularly useful for students returning to tertiary study after time away from an academic environment
Objectives:	This course has as its objectives that graduates should: Have a sound fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying technology Possess analytical, problem-solving and, where relevant, design skills, including those appropriate for sustainable development Have verbal and written communication skills that enable them to make a meaningful contribution to the changes facing our society Understand the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of the professional engineer, and the need for sustainable development
Course Structure & Available Subjects:	Students choose any four subjects (50 credit points) from the list of postgraduate subjects offered in Specialised Masters courses within the Melbourne School of Engineering, provided they have the pre-requisites. Students seeking subsequent entry to graduate programs offered by the Melbourne School of Engineering should seek appropriate course advice to ensure that they will have the required skills and knowledge at the completion of the program
