About this course

Start your career in engineering drafting, or as an engineering associate, with this entry level qualification.

During this six month course you will become familiar with computer-aided design (CAD) packages, AutoCAD and how to set out engineering drawings according to Australian Standards.

You will also participate in hands on workshop projects to introduce general engineering concepts, which are essential for further study at the diploma level. These projects will help develop your understanding of how drawings are transformed into buildings and manufactured items. You will also gain skills in modern office practices, communication, safety, quality controls, basic calculations and sustainability concepts.

On completion of this course you can choose to study further in a number of fields including civil construction design, civil and structural engineering, engineering technology (electrical), and mechanical engineering.
