Course description
The realm of Internet of Things (IoT) systems is intricate and ever-evolving, demanding expertise across diverse domains, including hardware and software development, wireless communication, data analytics, cybersecurity, and project management.
This program is tailored for those seeking a deeper understanding of IoT project options, going beyond the scope of short professional development courses. It is also ideal for employers in search of professionals with advanced engineering knowledge in the IoT field. Engineers will explore extensive choices and justifications involving platforms, hardware, networks, digital languages, cloud services, and embedded systems, all of which are thoroughly covered in this program.
As an advanced “Foundations” program, it complements the Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things (IoT) Security, Deployment, and Management, serving as a valuable preparatory step. Applicants typically possess a bachelor’s degree in related engineering fields and aim to bolster their expertise with a specialized credential that offers academic rigor, enhancing their competitiveness in the job market.

The program involves depth and complexity in varied specialized contexts.
Applicants must have completed at least a 3-year Bachelor degree in engineering, science or technology or equivalent in a related field; OR
- An applicant with other tertiary qualifications with relevant vocational practice in an engineering-related role may be considered for entry as judged by the admissions committee: OR
- At least 3 years of work experience in engineering, science or technology (the applicant would be required to submit other evidence of general and professional qualifications that demonstrates the potential to pursue graduate studies)
AND
- Satisfactory English language proficiency at an English pass level in a Senior Certificate of Education or equivalent;OR
- A specified level of achievement in a recognized English language test such as IELTS (or equivalent) at a score of at least 6.0 (with no individual band score less than 5.5); OR
- Satisfactory completion of another course offered by EIT or delivered by another tertiary institution in English.
Note: All applications are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please check the Documentation Guidelinesfor your application. The course would be suitable for:
- Engineers and technologists who have some background in the field and want to extend their knowledge.
- Those with substantial relevant work experience who need to formalize and enhance their achievements.
- Those with higher level qualifications in a related field who wish to develop specialist knowledge.
Outcome / Qualification etc.
This qualification is officially accredited within the Australian Qualifications Framework by the Training Accreditation Council (TAC), and EIT is approved by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) to deliver in all Australian states. EIT delivers this program to students worldwide.
Graduates who emerge from the program will be able to demonstrate specialized and integrated technical and theoretical knowledge required to develop viable connected products for the IoT market.
Specifically, graduates of the Graduate Certificate in Internet of Things (IoT) will be able to:
- Recognize and interpret key IoT software development platforms and processes required in IoT development
- Identify and explain the fundamental concepts and characteristics of network engineering optimization for IoT projects
- Determine appropriate web languages that can be applied to both the client and server side of IoT applications
- Apply the principles and knowledge required when applying web services and their web APIs to the planning, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of IoT projects
- Apply a broad knowledge of fundamental aspects of embedded systems, specifically related to remote agents and smart devices, required for effective IoT service delivery
- Develop a broad knowledge of tools and techniques that can be applied to select, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain IoT products
- Assist with formulating effective holistic strategies in relation to IoT business cases
- Recognize and enhance the deployment of hydrogen as applied to selected current and future technologies and applications
- Assist with formulating effective holistic strategies in relation to hydrogen energy business cases
- Manage self-autonomy to achieve objectives within organizations that have outputs based on technological application and develop professional practice in the field
- Communicate professionally and effectively
On successful completion, the program students will graduate with the Graduate Certificate in the Internet of Things (IoT) for Engineering.
