Program Overview
Build the foundations for an exciting career in the engineering industry with UWA College's Diploma in Engineering. After successfully completing your Diploma in Engineering, you'll enter the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) at The University of Western Australia (UWA).
Spend your first one or two trimesters building your study skills while improving your maths and physics knowledge. Then, in as little as five months, join first-year UWA engineering students in your final trimester as you study the same university subjects alongside them.

Where will it take me?
This course leads to the following degrees:
What will I study?
All students complete modules tailored to your chosen degree subjects.
Core Modules:
In the unit, you'll work on one individual engineering project and team projects, selected to provide opportunities to develop the unit's learning outcomes. After completing the unit, you should understand the relevance of your studies to your future career.
This unit will also help you to establish important skills and expectations for learning and practice in engineering at university and in your career – especially professional engineering communication skills, inclusive teamwork, self-directed learning, and engineering processes to address open problems, all while adhering to values that earn the confidence of the community.
""">Introduction to Engineering
An elementary discussion of atomic structure and the bonding of elements to form compounds is given. Further development requires a discussion of the mole concept. This leads to a study of chemical reactions, with discussions on oxidation and reduction, acids and bases, energy changes in reactions, reaction rates and chemical equilibrium.
""">Introductory Chemistry
The unit introduces essential knowledge and principles in the areas of thermodynamics, gases, intermolecular interactions and the nature of liquids, solids and solutions, chemical kinetics, aspects of chemical equilibrium including acids, bases and solubility, electrochemistry and the chemistry of non-metals. It provides an essential foundation for more advanced studies in these topics.
""">Chemistry: Properties and EnergeticsThis unit is the first step along your path to being able to use computers to solve problems. Because computers can't yet work using human languages, computer languages have been devised to allow algorithms encoding solutions to problems to be executed on computers. In this unit you'll learn about, and use, the very popular language Python 3. Along the way you'll also learn some problem-solving techniques and how to create algorithms; you'll also learn how computers execute your programs.
""">Computational Thinking with Python
The unit covers theories and quantitative techniques to understand interactions between water, air and soil, and the ecosystem response to these interactions. You'll gain insights into some of the fundamental earth systems technologies employed in civil, environmental and mining engineering practice and site operation.
""">Earths Systems EngineeringYou'll also learn about different types of engineering plans and drawings from a range of engineering disciplines, including PNIDs, electrical circuit diagrams, HVAC diagrams, etc. Students will become familiar with the conventions and standards used in different areas, and will be required to interpret different types of drawings.
""">Engineering Drawings
You'll learn how to conduct and analyze material balances for multi-unit process systems with and without chemical reactions, including systems that incorporate recycle and purge streams, and to formulate energy balances based on the first law of thermodynamics. Analysis of these systems develops an understanding of and the ability to calculate the thermodynamic properties of gases, liquids and vapours.
""">Mass and Energy BalancesHow will I be assessed?
Assessment is a combination of formal examinations and coursework, including written assignments, practical exercises, group and individual research projects, presentations, and problem-solving exercises.
