Diploma courses
2506~~C Diploma of Applied Science
(Materials Engineering)
Course aims and description
This course provides a post secondary level entry
qualification for people seeking work in one of the
materials fields as trainee laboratory assistant or technician.
Training is directed at people employed or seeking
employment in industries involved with the mining,
production, manufacture and marketing of goods made
from metals, timber, ceramics, plastics or composites.
Career potential
Graduates of this course may find employment in the
mining industries, engineering plants, polymer and plastics
industries, ceramics industries (traditional and advanced),
paints and adhesives industries, research laboratories,
quality control laboratories, as well as marketing and
management associated with materials production.
The Diploma is designed for middle level technical officers
who are required to undertake some planning and problem
solving responsibilities.
Further studies pathways
On successful completion of the Diploma students are
eligible for advanced entry into degree courses.
Entry requirements
The preferred entry requirement for the course is the
successful completion of VCE or equivalent, preferably
with a science or technology background.
Alternative or mature-age entry will be considered.
Course availability and duration
To receive the Diploma of Applied Science (Materials
Engineering) a participant must first gain the first year
qualification of Certificate IV in Materials Science and then
complete a further two years of part-time study.
The Certificate N is designed for junior technicians,
operators and research assistants at the lower middle level.
The work of such people would be closely supervised by
more experienced and/or qualified technical officers.
On successful completion of the Certificate IV students are
eligible for advanced entry into degree courses.
The Certificate IV in Materials Science would normally be
completed by two years of part-time study.
The Diploma of Applied Science (Material Engineering)
requirements include a minimum of ten core modules, one
of the specialist streams and two or three extension studies
modules.
Course structure
Bridging Mathematics and Advanced Mathematics are
additional to the Certificate IV qualification and are
optional.
