This course is intended primarily as a pathway for international students who want to study Master of Professional Engineering (EN55) but have not met the English language requirements for direct entry. Graduate Certificate in Communication for Engineering is is designed to help students acquire postgraduate level knowledge and skill in a specialist Engineering discipline while developing competency in English language and academic literacy.
You will be studying two Communication units at the QUT College to enhance your academic English language skills and two Engineering major units at the faculty from one of the following majors: Electrical Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
The Graduate Certificate in Communication for Engineering incorporates real-world case analysis inquiry-based learning experiences as well as individual and group projects. You will also benefit from learning to give and receive feedback from your peers while developing your oral and written English language communication skills.
The Communication units work explicitly to provide you with the academic language skills and strategies that will support you through the study of your two chosen Engineering discipline units. The dimension of language developed through the Communication units will move you beyond vocabulary syntax and grammar to cognitive conceptual knowledge and formal academic language.
This course is primarily face-to-face learning which is supported by online learning resources.
This course also provides you with opportunities to understand your own cultural identity and develop knowledge skills and attitudes that foster understanding of other cultures.
Support servicesIn addition to the substantial support that will be offered to you by the QUT College our Science and Engineering Faculty also offers you specific programs of support. These include one-to-one support through STIMulate and Student Success (Academic Language Advisors) as well as online resources for technical and additional language support.
The Graduate Certificate in Communication for Engineering is designed around set of core and discipline units to provide engineering graduates with technical theoretical and language skills for further learning.
Your engineering discipline unit is selected from either the mechanical or electrical unit options depending on your engineering specialisation.
No credit for prior learning will be available for units in this course. Discipline units provide added depth and breadth in your chosen area of specialisation in an English speaking context.
