About this program
Build a foundation in engineering technology with La Trobe's Diploma of Engineering Technology. In this diploma, you will develop core skills in programming, modelling, engineering design, electrical and electronic engineering, and mechanics of solids. You will study across engineering, computer science, mathematics and physics, while building early experience through project-based learning and practical activities. You can choose from streams in civil engineering or artificial intelligence. Depending on your stream, you will explore physics and introductory AI concepts, or combine engineering physics with computer-aided design. By studying the Diploma of Engineering Technology, you will learn how to: apply programming to engineering and scientific problems use modelling tools to understand systems, change and real-world problems develop solutions through engineering design and problem solving interpret electrical, electronic, mechanical and physical principles connect engineering technology problems to further study in engineering. The qualification awarded on graduation is recognised in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) as Level 5 - Diploma.
