Stage2 - Diploma of Engineering - Engineering, Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Metallurgical Engineering

Program Overview

Students who have already completed Year 12 (or equivalent) may start with the Stage 2 Diploma, which has the same course content and structure as year one of the corresponding Curtin University undergraduate degree. Upon completion of your Diploma, you will progress directly into the second year of your Curtin University Bachelor's degree program.


Stage2 - Diploma of Engineering
Engineers can find themselves working in many different disciplines and environments, from overseeing maintenance operations to designing and building engineered solutions, the range of career options is vast, varied and challenging.

The Diploma of Engineering offers students an industry-connected experience, uniquely placed to provide solutions to the challenges faced by the global community. Curtin College will provide you with the skills and knowledge to enable you to commence the academic studies you will need for your career in engineering.


Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering
Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to provide solutions to complex societal challenges and improve the quality of life for people all around the world.


Major: Metallurgical Engineering
Metallurgical engineers mostly work in converting raw metals and minerals into more useable formats, such as converting iron ore and coal into steel. They extract, refine and recycle metals and minerals that are used in many areas of everyday life, including energy production, food production, housing and transportation.

In this major you will learn to design, develop, optimise and manage the operation of metallurgical processing plants that transform low-value raw materials into useful, high-value mineral and metal products – and in an economical and environmentally responsible way.

You’ll gain a thorough grounding in chemical and physical engineering, economic, environmental and sustainable principles, and the extraction of metals from ores. This course also includes a strong management component.


What you'll learn

  • Apply scientific and engineering principles to metallurgical process development including sound risk management, environmental and OHS practice
  • Think critically and creatively to generate innovative solutions and apply logical and rational processes to analyse metallurgical technology practice
  • Access, evaluate and synthesise metallurgical information from multiple sources
  • Communicate in ways appropriate to the discipline of minerals engineering and metallurgy
  • Use and apply technologies, recognising their advantages and limitations when applied to minerals and metallurgical information
  • Demonstrate responsibility and self-learning skills by applying critical reflection and being proactive
  • Describe and apply international best practice standards in minerals engineering and metallurgical methods and technologies
  • Demonstrate respect for cultural diversity in professional life
  • Work ethically and professionally, both within a team and independently.
