Advanced Diploma of Engineering Technology (Civil Stream)
Assessment (Internat.)
Competency based training is concerned with assisting people to gain specific competencies relevant to the purpose of their course of study. A student will be assessed by performing set tasks at specific standards, under prescribed conditions. A range of assessment methods will be used to enable students to demonstrate competency
Outline
The Advanced Diploma of Engineering is designed to provide training at the engineering associate level. The course includes basic trade skills,in Welding, Machining, OH&S, reading plans, and using hand tools. Each year of the course has common core units including: computing packages, mathematics, engineering principles, strength of materials, project management, computer aided design, and the environment. Civil engineering works, design, surveying, rural roads, urban road construction, principles of construction materials and storm water/drainage design are some of the units included in the stream specific section of the course.This course can provide a pathway and exemptions into a degree course at Universities. Check with staff listed under course enquiries.
Career Opportunities
This course will provide you with the necessary academic background and practical training for middle level employment in the engineering field, in such positions as technical support staff for professional staff in industry.
RPL and Credit Transfer
International students wishing to apply for RPL and Credit Transfer are required to provide syllabus of previous study undertaken at time of applying for course. Not all courses offer RPL and Credit Transfer. Contact the International Student Programs office at international@ballarat.edu.au

Completion of the Advanced Diploma of Engineering will give the student skills to gain employment as a technical officer, design engineer, and in areas of middle management in the civil engineering field. The course structure also provides the student with a realistic pathway to higher education gaining the skills and credits to enable a smooth transition.
Students moving into higher education will have the necessary skills to study and understand courses in: mining, and civil engineering.
Requirements
To be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Engineering, you are required to satisfactorily complete studies in core and specialist units in a specific study path. The minimum requirement is for a total of 1200 hours of study with an additional 200 hours of study for non-trade entry students (most students are in this category).
One unit has a nominal 40 hours of study.
Non-trade-background entry - units of competency equivalent to a training effort of at least 200 hours from "Table A".
Advanced Diploma of Engineering - units of competency equivalent to a training effort of at least 1200 hours from "Table B" Table A and Table B maintained and available from the Curriculum Maintenance Manager" Engineering Industries.
A minimum of 80% of the training effort must be from units listed in Table B. The balance may be drawn from other endorsed training packages provided the units of competency are of an appropriate AQF level and relevant to an engineering job function or to enterprise requirements.
At least 30% of the training effort must be from units of competency at AQF level 6.
