What does this course involve?

This course will prepare you for senior roles in a shared technology environment. When you choose to study shared technology, you will learn all about a combination of exciting technologies including:

• Electronics
• Photonics (Optical Fibre)
• Robotics
• Telecommunications
• Sustainable energy
• Building Automation and Security
• Control Technology
• Networking
• Wireless

You will learn to analyse and diagnose faults, design shared technology systems, development of engineering solutions to complex systems, project planning and management, and development of performance/ assessment testing procedures for shared technology systems. Gain skills in commissioning, modification and small system design, and learn how to integrate control technology.

This course will give you essential communication skills, such as writing reports and presenting technical information.
You can choose to enhance your career prospects by completing the Advanced Diploma of Information Technology (Network Security) and/or the Bachelor of Computer Systems (Networking) at Box Hill Institute.

Entrance requirements

Australian Year 12 or equivalent with a pass.
Relevant senior employment experience in industry will be considered.

English Language Proficiency

A minimum IELTS overall score of 5.5 (Academic).
A minimum TOEFL score of 530 for paper examination; 179 for computer based and 71 for Internet based.

Special admission requirements

None

Cost

$AUD10,500 per year, plus amenities and materials fees.

What employment opportunities will I have?

This course will prepare you for employment in a diverse range of industries, including small and large enterprises (involved with telecommunications infrastructure), manufacturing, equipment servicing, building automation, computer networking, process control or blends of these technologies.

Typical job roles may include:

  • photonics specialist
  • control systems technician
  • sustainable power designer
  • wireless systems technician
  • security systems designer.

Specific skills in a shared technology context will cover commissioning, modification, small system design, system fault diagnosis or control technology integration.

What further study options will I have?

You could continue your studies in Networking by completing the Advanced Diploma of Information Technology (Network Security) and following this the Bachelor of Computer Systems (Networking). Other streams can study a related bachelor degree at Deakin University.
