Engineering Institute of Technology
Advanced Diploma of Civil and Structural Engineering (Materials Testing)
Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)This course is focused on the skills needed to select construction materials suitable for different applications, such as buildings, bridges, roads, and tunnels among other civil construction projects. The course structure is unique and designed to equip students with knowledge of conventional and emerging construction materials, covering materials characterization, quality control and standards.
Worldwide, the civil construction sector plays an important role in the global economy via infrastructure and building projects. The construction engineering industry seeks qualified professionals capable to understand materials performance and its quality control commonly employed in civil engineering and construction (aggregate, steel, timber, bitumen, asphalt, and concrete).
This course aims to empower construction engineering professionals with the capability to combine skills from construction materials behaviour and application in infrastructure and building projects.
