Is the Diploma suitable for students with non-technical backgrounds?

Yes. As part of the Diploma, you will have access to an online pre-course study program. This set of studies is designed to assist students refresh a range of essential mathematics, physics and engineering science topics that will be used during the Diploma program. For students with a non-technical background, it is mandatory that you complete the precourse studies before moving into the first study module. Students with technical or engineering qualifications are likely to find the pre-course study a useful refresher.

What are the learning outcomes?

Outcome 1: Describe the key aspects of automotive design that are used in the design of military vehicles

Outcome 2: Use applied engineering mathematics to solve a range of automotive performance, ride and vibration and vehicle handling problems

Outcome 3: Understand the engineering concepts and trade-offs used in the design of fighting and logistic vehicles

Outcome 4: Understand the key components used in the design of military vehicles and how these affect automotive performance outcomes

Outcome 5: Understand how the design of automotive sub-systems affects overall achieved vehicle mobility

What are the Diploma learning pathways?

What are the Diploma learning pathways?

• Pathway 1. Enroll in the online Diploma through the Eggler Institute of Technology, or
• Pathway 2. Attend a public or in-house Military Vehicle Technology & Mobility (Advanced) professional development course. Then within 16 weeks complete the mandated Diploma readings, assessment tasks and exams.

Examinations are undertaken in a student's home country and invigilated online.

What are the Diploma entry requirements?

The prerequisite education requirements for the diploma course include:

• successful completion of Year 12 high school with studies in English (essential), mathematics (essential), physics (desirable) and engineering science (desirable); or
• successfully completion of vocational trade in auto mechanical, engineering or similar studies; or
• successful completion of an undergraduate engineering degree that is recognised by a professional engineering organisation or body.

Students need to submit documentary evidence as part of the Diploma enrollment process. If you are unsure of whether you meet the entry requirements, then please contact us.

How long do you have to complete the Diploma?

Pathway 1 (On-demand). Students undertaking the online Diploma have 15 weeks to complete all lessons and mandated assessment tasks and exams. Extensions will not be granted beyond the stipulated learning period.

Pathway 2 (Onsite). Students have 15 weeks from completion of the public or in-house course to submit mandated assessment tasks and sit the two exams. If students are attending an in-house delivered ‘Sandwich’ course, then students have 15 weeks to complete all assessment tasks and the exams.

Tuition Fees

Pathway 1 - Online Course. The tuition fee for the online Diploma is available through the EIT website. The tuition fee provides students with full access to the course learning material, less mandated text books which need to be purchased separely by the student prior to course commencement. This includes presentations, tutorials, videos, readings, quizzes, course folder and online access to the course instructor. Sitting of exams occurs in your designated country.

Pathway 2 - Public/In-house Course. The tuition fees for the residential-style Diploma are available on request through the Contact Us page. This fee includes attendance at a public or in-house Military Vehicle Technology & Mobility (Advanced) course, course folder, access to online reading materials, sitting of exams in your country and online access to the course instructor.

Text Books

The two recommended textbooks to support student studies during the diploma course are “Theory of Ground Vehicles”, 4th Edition” by J.Y Wong, 2009 and “Terramechanics and Off-Road Vehicle Engineering”, 2nd Edition” by J.Y Wong, 2010. A range of other reading materials will be made available via the student learning portal.

The two recommended textbooks are not included in the standard Diploma fee. Students are therefore recommended to purchase these textbooks prior to course commencement.

Online Study Materials

Students will be provided with online access to a broad range of relevant, supplementary reading material and references during the course. Supplementary learning material is accessed via the student e-Leaning Portal. For residential students, access will be provided to the e-Learning portal following enrollment, payment of the course fee and completion of a public/in-house course.
