Diploma of Engineering provides an introduction to the field of engineering and a pathway to engineering degrees offered at La Trobe University. Students will study first-year undergraduate subjects and, after successfully completing the Diploma, they will be eligible for direct entry to the second year of they chosen engineering degree.
The course is practical and hands-on. Depending on theri chosen degree, they will develop skills in a number of core areas like biomedical engineering, communication engineering, electronic and electrical systems, sustainability in energy production, automotive engineering, the application of technology in modern medicine, project management of large-scale projects, sustainable infrastructure, water resources, civil construction, surveying and computer-aided design.
Establish your career at the forefront of technology with La Trobe's accredited Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Industrial).
Develop strong foundations in the core elements of industrial engineering, while exploring areas such as advanced automation, artificial intelligence and data analytics.
Students will learn from leading academics in small classes, giving them an invaluable intimate learning experience. And they will benefit from our state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities, while developing your industry networks through work placements and networking events with major employers.
