Course Overview

This graduate diploma course is designed for engineers with a background in electrical, electronics, instrumentation & control, or industrial computer systems engineering, who seek to advance their career and to build on their current engineering specialization.

This program is offered standalone or as an exit point after the first year of the two-year master’s degree.

Program Details

The rapid development of the renewable field has led to a shortage of fully skilled electrical engineers who are competent in both classic power system operation and renewable system integration. The Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Electrical Systems) is designed in consultation with industry and addresses the issues associated with emerging technologies in electrical power generation, transmission, and distribution systems. The program offers eight core units to provide knowledge, skills and professional competencies required for this industry.

What will I learn/gain:

• Skills and knowledge in the latest developing technologies in electrical systems
• Practical guidance from electrical experts from around the world
•  Global networking contacts in academia and industry
•  Improved career options
• You will examine the dominant technologies in power generation, distribution and transmission.
• You will learn how to conduct effective power systems analysis, consider issues in smart energy conversion, and be able to apply an accurate power system dynamic model for system stability.
•  You will investigate wind and solar energy as examples of centralized and distributed renewable power sources as well as the effects of renewable integration on classic power issues.
• You will refine your business knowledge and communication skills and add technical knowledge necessary to lead engineering teams and execute complex solutions
• You will engage in a detailed review of earthing/grounding, system protection and safety.
