Graduate Diploma in Professional Engineering - Petroleum Engineering

This course is designed for those who wish to convert into a different engineering discipline, or from an undergraduate science or technology degree. It provides foundational knowledge, skills and professional competencies for an engineer in your chosen discipline. On completion you will qualify to enter the Master of Professional Engineering where you will meet the Stage 1 academic requirements for chartered status as a professional engineer. Petroleum engineers figure out the best way to extract oil and gas from deposits below the Earth’s surface. They work closely with other professionals to understand the geological and geophysical characteristics of particular reservoirs, before designing, testing and implementing the most effective and profitable extraction method for that site. This specialisation in Petroleum Engineering will provide students, from other discipline areas, content knowledge in areas specific to Petroleum Engineering. Graduates will qualify for entry to the Master of Professional Engineering (Petroleum Engineering) or Master of Professional Engineering (Subsea Engineering).What you'll learnapply technical and theoretical knowledge and skills to identify and evaluate innovative solutions to complex engineering problemsrecognise the importance of culture, including that of local First Peoples, and be able to work respectfully and productively across culturesanalyse contemporary industry needs generate creative and innovative engineering solutionsapply engineering skills and knowledge, sustainability frameworks, and ethical approaches to address issues of international relevanceuse technology to facilitate problem solving and communicate effective and innovative solutions in an engineering contextrecognise the role of a professional engineer in society and work ethically and morally to develop a professional profile as an engineer
