Advanced Diploma in Engineering Technology - Electrical

at EduCo - RMIT University - Melbourne City Campus Australia

At RMIT we contend that research is conducted through designing and that the process of designing, as a means of increasing knowledge, parallels research in other areas in fascinating ways.

Research candidates are supported and engaged in communities of design practice where learning is fundamentally a social phenomenon; where knowledge is integrated in the life of these communities that share interests, discourses and ways of doing things.

The Master of Design may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode. This decision is made in consultation with your supervisor.

On completion of this program you will have:

• A body of knowledge that includes the understanding of recent developments in 1 or more disciplines
• Advanced knowledge of research principles and methods applicable to the field of work or learning
• Cognitive skills to demonstrate mastery of theoretical knowledge and to reflect critically on theory and its application
• Cognitive, technical and creative skills to:
• Investigate, analyse and synthesise complex information, problems, concepts and theories and to apply established theories to different bodies of knowledge or practice
• Generate and evaluate complex ideas and concepts at an abstract level
• Use and evaluate research and research methods.
• Communication and technical skills to present coherent and sustained argument and to disseminate research results to specialist and non-specialist audiences
• Technical and communication skills to design, evaluate, implement, analyse, theorise and disseminate research that makes a contribution to knowledge and/or professional practice.

As a graduate you will demonstrate the application of these knowledge and skills:

• With creativity and initiative to new situations and/or for further learning
• With high-level personal autonomy and accountability
• To plan and execute a substantial piece of research.

Combining studies in urban planning and built environment with the social, economic, and political environment, the Master of Urban Planning and Environment equips you to shape efficient, practical, healthy, and sustainable cities.

Develop skills in critical analysis and draw from diverse sources to engage in professionally-relevant projects, conduct research, and promote effective policy outcomes. Benefit from practical and experiential learning, working on urban planning problems in the field, and consulting with industry.

This degree is widely supported by industry; the majority of urban planners in Victoria are RMIT alumni, and employers actively seek our urban planning and environment graduates for their unique combination of environmental science and policy skills.

Upon graduation, you will be eligible for membership of the Planning Institute of Australia.

This degree is offered online and face-to face. It is primarily taught through evening classes during the week, with some topics delivered through intensive full-day workshops. All core topics and some electives are also offered online in case students aren’t able to study face-to-face.

The pace of change can be a little intimidating; how do you prepare for a future that is dynamic, constantly evolving? You invest in yourself. Follow your passions, develop your capabilities and curate an open mind to see the opportunities through the background noise.
