Key Summary
About: The Graduate Certificate in Power Engineering at the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) trains you to identify, analyze and solve complex problems in power system analysis, safety and protection, system stability and power quality. You’ll apply systematic design, research and communication skills to develop and deliver projects, using scientific, mathematical and international standards across power, electrical and renewable energy.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can enhance their electrical expertise to gain employment in power system operation, renewable energy, electrical safety, protection, electrical design, commissioning and maintenance. Career opportunities include technical management and senior roles in utilities, consultancies, manufacturers and renewable firms.
Upon completion, graduates will be able to identify, critically analyse and creatively solve intellectually complex, specialised professional engineering problems in power system analysis, power system safety and protection, system stability analysis and power quality and mitigation. They will have an in-depth understanding of synthesis and design in specialist bodies of knowledge at the professional engineering level to apply fundamental power system analysis principles and evaluate system stability and quality. You will use skills in established systematic design to source, analyse, synthesise, research, design and communicate projects and information individually or in collaboration with others.
Graduates will also demonstrate scientific, mathematical, design and international standards perspectives as engineers.
