There are 0 minimum work placement hours required for this unit.

Schedule
Packaging Rules
The requirement for achievement of the MEM80125 Graduate Diploma of Engineering is the achievement of competence in ten (10) units of competency made up of:
- all three (3) core units of competency and
- a minimum of four (4) units from Group A and
- the balance of units may be chosen from Group A or Group B to bring the total number of elective units to seven (7).

A maximum of three (3) elective units, may be chosen from any other Graduate Certificate or Graduate Diploma qualification where they are relevant to work in a high-level engineering supervisory technician and technical officer environment within metal, engineering, manufacturing and associated industries and do not duplicate skills and knowledge already available in units within this qualification.
