About Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science (GDNS) (Surveying), Graduate Diploma - at University of Southern Queensland

The objectives of the graduate diploma of engineering science are to: enable students, who hold appropriate three or four year engineering qualifications or equivalent in the relevant specialisation (major field), to complete a postgraduate program that will lead to an advanced theoretical and technical knowledge in an engineering discipline; enable students who hold appropriate four year engineering qualifications or equivalent in a particular specialisation (major field) to change to another area of specialisation by completing a postgraduate program that will lead to an advanced theoretical and technical level of knowledge in an engineering discipline. Through this eight unit degree, students will do a combination of advanced study and practice of surveying, empowering them to apply new and increasingly sophisticated computing technology to surveying and mapping projects. When students complete their graduate diploma of engineering science they could take the credit from their studies and go on to complete the master of engineering science where students will have the opportunity to do a research project and dissertation to apply their formal knowledge to a real world issue. As a surveying graduate, students could work in property surveying, land development, land information, mapping, engineering, and mining. Their experience could see them working on unique solutions to problems - solutions that are expected to be both socially and environmentally responsible. This degree provides a pathway to the master of engineering science which is provisionally accredited with engineers Australia for membership as a graduate professional engineer.
