Diploma of Engineering
UTS:INSEARCH
Type of institution: Higher Education Institutions
Level: Vocational Education and Training (VET)
CRICOS: 00859D
This program is suitable for those students who do not meet the entry requirements to directly enter into a UTS Engineering degree. It offers the same subjects as first year UTS Engineering students. On completion of the diploma students can fast track into the second year of UTS. The program provides students with knowledge of the core disciplines of mathematics and physics and is a pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering at UTS. Graduates will understand the practical uses for engineering, gain skills from each of the subject areas and will be able to communicate professionally and ethically in engineering environments. Students have the option of starting their engineering specialisations while they are studying at UTS:INSEARCH. The program offers a range of electives, for example, a student who is planning to study civil engineering, electrical, chemical, mechatronics or mechanical, can take at least one core subject. Graduates will have the breadth, depth and complexity of the skills and knowledge needed to be able to plan, manage and review a range of solutions to problems in engineering environments.
