Both certificates must be current at the time of course completion.

Resources and mining engineering and Resources and renewable energy engineering

These specialisations replace the following Resources engineering specialisation:

Resources engineering

Resources Engineers design and implement systems that supply the natural resources required for modern industry and society. This includes both physical (eg. minerals, metals and other commodities) and energy resources (eg. solar, wind, hydropower and geothermal resources). Resources Engineering encompasses the fields of Mining Engineering and Renewable Energy Engineering. You will obtain knowledge in your chosen stream, along with highly transferable leadership, project management and communication skills.
