Certificate
With the Australian manufacturing industry thriving with technological advancements, there has never been more exciting time to consider a career in equipment design. In the Undergraduate Certificate in Equipment Design and Project Management you'll learn the practical science behind traditional and contemporary materials, such as metals, polymers and composites, and explore the different approaches, skills and tool sets required when working with each specific material with leading edge manufacturing processes.
We will introduce you to important industry skills, such as safety and logistics, and software design in computer programming. You will also have the opportunity to learn core skills needed in any workplace, such as human resource practices, digital literacy, communication and project management during our hands-on workshops.
As part of this course, you will learn firsthand in practical workshops located at our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Facility in North-West region of Tasmania. Co-located with industry at the Tasmanian Minerals Manufacturing and Energy Council (TMMEC) facilities, you'll have the opportunity to rub shoulders with industry professionals as you work collaboratively on real-world projects. Our students are currently collaborating on innovative projects with organisations such as Grange Resources, Jayben Australia, TazDrone Solutions, Hydro Tasmania, and many more.
